I say it that the Northern Governors are more interested in the welfare of their people than the Southern governors esp SE & SS. The seaports in PH, Warri, Calabar etc should be taken as priority and made to work.
We have rebranded rogues without soul as leaders here in SS..
Warri has a seaport right in my backyard. Very minimal economi ic activity goes o there The lazy fools we have as ladiears are not doing anything to make it fully functional. Its just wasting away.

Agreed, because the sand would have been used to build shelters for hapless, hopeless, and homeless citizens to rest from the elements.Only if you will open your eyes and not be blinded by hate you will see the shelters. I will support him for the fact that he successfully negotiated through the mess left behind by a certain clueless Don Fortunato while at the same time not leaving behind 36 bankrupt entities which he successfully ferried to safety

How can I put my trust on someone who depleted our commonwealth from $67b to $28b with nothing to show for it

Or you expect me to put my faith on a kleptomaniac who in collaboration with outsiders defraud his country gleefully without an iota of guilt.

Very good initiative. If I were a governor of any of the SS states I will state building already while at the same time filing the necessary papers for permission to build. But will any of them take the initiative. I hope one does. The rice initiative of the FG easily comes to mind. While the Northern states where busy making use of the CBN-backed anchors borrowers program the SS States rather continued mourning the loss of Don Fortunato. Today the difference is very clear.

BusinessBREAKING: FG May Increase Petrol Price To N180 Per Litre by docadams(op): 12:54am On Jan 05, 2018
The Federal Government may increase the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly called petrol to a minimum price of N180 and above anytime soon.
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu who dropped the hint in Abuja on Thursday, said the current price of N145 per litre can no longer be sustained.

In a presentation he made to a joint committee on Petroleum (Downstream) of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Minister said the landing cost for petrol stood at N171 per litre.

According to him, the Federal Government, through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has been bearing the cost of N26 per litre, representing the difference between N171 and the current official price of N145 per litre.

Insisting that independent marketers would not be able to import the product at the current foreign exchange rate, saying the marketers were able to sell for N145 per litre when the exchange rate was N285 per Dollar. The Naira presently exchanges for N365 per Dollar.
“We now have to go back and find the solution to this problem in order to ease supply gaps and ensure availability of the product at all times,” the Minister said.

Kachikwu, however, proffered three alternative solutions to pump price increase: getting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to introduce a modulated foreign exchange rate specifically for importers of the product; giving the marketers significant tax adjustments to enable them to absorb the high cost; and a plural pricing system whereby the NNPC would continue to sell at N145 through its numerous outlets while the marketers are allowed to fix their own price.
The Minister identified causes of the last fuel scarcity to include diversion of products, logistic constraints, bottleneck associated with clearance, bad road network, insufficient product reserves, smuggling through land borders, supply gaps and enforcement challenges.

He stated that the marketers stopped importing fuel since October 2017, as a result of their inability to access foreign exchange from the CBN, leaving only the NNPC to import the product, which has left a wide gap between demand and supply.

Dr. Kachikwu lamented that the price of petrol rises with the rise in the price of crude oil in the international, stressing that in such instances, Nigeria spends more to import refined products. In effect, any rise in crude oil price increases the amount the country spends on the importation of fuel.

To address the situation, the Minister canvassed the opening up of production lines, specifically the refineries, which he said, would address supply gaps that usually leads to incessant scarcity.

“Rising prices in international market affecting domestic prices. What the country needs is to have the refineries working. It’s a shame that after 40 years, Nigeria cannot produce its domestic consumption.
“It would take 18 months to address problems of scarcity, price stability and other issues relating to the supply of petroleum products. The pipelines should be concessioned to allow private participation.

“There is huge infrastructure deficit in the system because the NNPC ought to be distributing products through their pipes but most of the pipes are damaged. The has necessitated the use of trucks to distribute the product across the country.

“Most importantly, fixing the refineries should be the lasting solution. To discuss and address the issues, we have to seek approval from the President,” the Minister said.

In his own submission at the hearing, the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru said the last scarcity was caused by rumours of price increase in the media that led marketers into hoarding the product in anticipation of higher prices.
Said he: “So there was a frenzy in the movement of products to the hinterland and diversion of products going to the hinterland in anticipation of the increase in price.

“The NNPC, or the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Authority (PPPRA) had no mandate to increase pump price.”
The GMD said that the strike action embarke

Complete and utter lie and what divisionists say to justify years of waste.

Are the oil companies in the North?

Please point to the HQ of any of the oil companies sited in the North.

The likes of Akpabio are more interested in what they can make from the senate than even the request for federal presence.

If it is to go to Saraki's trial they would all be making a single file.

Has the Twitter senator ever even bothered to stake a claim for siting any major development in the SS?

How many times have you heard even Wike or Okowa request for these things.

It is easier for them to buy guns for the thugs .
That's all the governors do in addition to laundering dollars through their side chicks and wasting their state monthly allocations on other frivolities If you point out the ineptitude of the governors as per governance this same set of people here will defend the governors with their lives but would rather be blaming imaginary oppressors. and slave masters. on occasions when they regain some modicum of sensibility.

Guy accept the truth even if it gives you headache.. The guy just told you the truth.
The South- South leaders/politicians are the major cause of the region's problems. I don't know your state of origin but Delta state where I am from
Ibori took over the local Schlumberger through intimidation today the local company is no more.

In the 80's/90s Warri was teeming with whites but today you can hardly see one.They are all gone for fear of being kidnapped.

Shell and Chevron had major presence in Warri and Ughelli(for Shell only) in the mould of regional headquarters in the 80s/90s They were the backbone of the local economy which was booming. But due to heighten criminal activities ,Shell completely moved out of Warri. Instead of the governor then(Uduaghan)to engage Shell in dialogue he chose to participate in scrambling for the properties Shell was leaving behind.

Same goes for Chevron which left only their medical facility for the families of its staff still in Warri following repeated cases of kidnapping harassment from community youths Funny enough the citizens didn't realise the implications of their actions. Today, apart from these relocation by this oil companies, the oil services companies have all closed shops. Ladies that used to indulge in profitable small scale business are now into sex trade.

Today instead of the oil companies being major employers of labour, KEKE NAPEPING now is.

What is so difficult about the security situation in Omoku that a focused and determined governor cannot fix. Omoku-Obrikon- Egbema axis used to be peaceful before the politicians came and introduced divisive and violent politics for selfish interests. I remember same Wike was shouting from the rooftops in protestation against militarization of Rivers state when the FG contemplated sending security personnel to Rivers to curtail the violence and killings that preceded the governorship rerun election. Many queed behind Wike to vehemently ssk the FG to keep off. The place was relatively peaceful during major part of Amaechi's tenure. How Rivers degenerated into a cesspool of this carnage confounds me. Wike wants to be sure the wjole securing situation is within range of his vision for self preservation..
