Please i will like you to note the fees before dabbling into this matter.
The indigenes of Kwara State are to pay N80, 000 while non-indigenes are to pay about N200,000. Those that did not choose the school in their Jamb can also apply (from their office in Ilorin) but must make sure you fill all your details accordingly.

The attention of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has been drawn to the strange GSM text messages being circulated in the country on speculated poisonous killer apples.

NAFDAC hereby categorically dissociates itself from the rumor and scare as no official of the Agency has made any statement on the presence of poisonous killer apples.

The Agency is deeply concerned about the grave consequences of the speculated killer apples and has immediately directed all NAFDAC offices across the country to investigate the authenticity of the rumor.

The general public is however advised to be alert and report to the nearest NAFDAC office any genuine case of unwholesome apples and other substandard regulated products.

Meanwhile, NAFDAC has taken samples of apples from various markets and retail outlets for laboratory analysis.

What academic qualifications does she have? Well, if she was sent by the president, then no problem.
Have you seen the president lately? He looks like dead ghost.

Seems healthcare and education is the next big thing

This is the best statement from the article:
No condition is permanent

"Undoubtedly, I would have gone into finance if the financial meltdown hadn't occurred," he says. "Now I won't make as much money, but I can go home at night and feel good about what I do. That's worth more than any amount of money."

The government of Cross River State, situated in southern Nigeria, has signed a deal with an American firm, Jack Rouse Associates for the construction of a world class theme park, This Day reports.

The American company will act as design and master planning consultants for the development.

The theme park will be situated on a 100 hectare piece of land opposite the Tinapa Business and Leisure Resort and is expected to cost N100 billion (US$680 million).

According to Cross River State governor, Senator Liyel Imoke, the project will be funded through a public private partnership.
Senator Imoke added that in order for the state to become the foremost tourism destination in sub Saharan Africa another N100 billion will have to be invested into the tourism sector.

Dan Schultz of Jack Rouse Associates said that they were in Calabar for discussions with the state government and other partners and promised that they are committed to make the project a success.

Sky Blue:
WOW. Sorry but I find your argument seriously flawed. What exactly do you know about the project? I wish people just did some research before they castigate and see that the issue is not exactly black and white. The TINAPA project suffered as a result of poor support in terms of legislative bills. First of all the TINAPA project is not just a water park but also contains a large shopping complex, hotel, film studio and other tourist activities. IT is only in phase one of the whole project. There were four phases which would have at there completion added a casino, more hotels and more entertainment venues. Sure one could argue that such a venture should have been the reserve of the private sector, but the funds used to build were not all government funds. It was actually built and the quality of the work was actually good, the structure is there for all to see. At a point wal-mart was considering opening a store there.

At the completion of the first phase shops were opened but not allowed to sell, why? Because the federal government was dragging its feet with legislation that would have allowed TINAPA to be a free trade zone meaning there was no tax on goods. What was the implication of such? Custom officials swarmed TINAPA and shops that had paid rent were not allowed to sell their goods if not they would be closed by officials. So people could look but not buy. Such damaged the reputation of what initially was a promising development. You go on about how TINAPA was not providing portable water for citizens hence it was useless. TINAPA may not have been pouring water and throwing food parcels into the hands of the poor but the project not just during building but more importantly at completion of the first phase created thousands of jobs. I could go on but why not try doing the basic research yourself instead of relying on hear say? They have a website you know? It isn't as black and white as saying TINAPA was bad, etc.

Tinapa would attract foreign investors if Calabar airport was really international. Don't blame Cross Rivers its the FG trying to kill like they try to kill anything in the East.

asha 80:
One of the greatest problem with nigeria is self denial and 'e no concern me' attitude.

When this kidnapping thing started it was labelled a militant thing in delta and e no concern 'us'.

When the thing shifted to east it was labelled igbo thing and greed.

So wetin we go call this one now?
