GOVERNOR WIKE AND ABANDONED PROJECTS

A terrible phenomenon in the Nigerian environment is the practice of successive administrations abandoning virtually all ongoing projects and programs of the previous administration. This is usually done irrespective of how laudable or people oriented the projects are. These projects are seen as legacies of the previous administration with each administration aiming to have its own.

This practice has been institutionalized in the Nigerian system and has served as a major clog in the wheel of the nation’s progress. Critical infrastructure and developmental projects like rail networks, power generation and distribution networks hold the key to Nigeria’s future as they are meant to serve as catalysts to our national development. Unfortunately, projects of this nature have completion cycles that exceed the life span of one administration. This immediately puts us in a position where we cannot complete any long term project as the next administration is bound to abandon it.

Present day Nigeria cannot even imagine embarking on a 10 year project as we all know that the project would definitely be abandoned.

It is estimated by the Chartered Institute of Project Programme and Project Portfolio Management of Nigeria (CIPPPMN) that the value of abandoned projects in Nigeria is over 12 trillion Naira.
This figure is 270 % of the national Budget for the 2015 fiscal year which stood at 4.44 trillion Naira and 200% of the 2016 budget which is projected at 6 trillion Naira.
Imagine where we would be if all these projects were completed.

The Nigerian abandoned projects story is taking a surprising new twist whish is starting from Rivers State.
The NEW administration in Rivers State has chosen a direction against this trend. The Rivers State governor has shown a very rare character by his commitment to completing all people oriented projects that have been abandoned within the state (no call mono rail here oo). He has said severally that he would complete all projects started by previous administrations as long as it would be to the benefit of the people.

The Eagle Island to Illuabuchi road which was started by the Odili administration and cooooooontinued by the Ameachi administration has been completed by him, the Odili/Woji/ Akajo road is receiving priority attention as work has even started on the second bridge.

His attitude towards abandoned and incomplete projects has endeared him to a lot of people as it has shown him as a man who can deliver on the goods and who values the benefit of Rivers people over his personal legacy, Ego or pride. He has shown himself as one who would gladly leave the pack, break negative institutions and chart a new course if it would serve the interest of Rivers people.

With the stellar performance of this government, Rivers people can comfortably boast that we made the right choice.

hahaha. you call an incompetent sleeping Care taker governor performing. a man that has no administrative blue print . what is program for infrastructure in the start apart from the substandard open gutter road patching projects?. what are his blue print for Education apart from sacking hundreds of lecturers in Riv poly, planning to sending back over 600 students on over seas scholarship, allowing weeds and grasses to overgrow the beautiful primary schools he inherited from the previous gov't their by forcing kids to remain at home for months , what are his blue prints for security when kidnapping has been a norm in the state, what are his blue print in youth empowerment when he has disbanded RSSDA as well as Tima Riv

Just visited Owerri recently and I was marveled with what I saw especially the area they call new Owerri. the streets are very broad more than even our federal high ways with an even broader median where a well mawed garden with ever green grasses and flowers adorns the median. majority of the street lights are mostly brand new and are made of stainless steel . in fact almost all the streets around that area is of the same style and standard. the environment was so lovely that I thought I was in yankee. enjoyed my stay as I visit lovely places like all seasons, point & kill, 40/40, etc. never new Owerri is as beautiful as that
just have a look as some sight of the new Owerri area

Mordecai:
ARGUMENTUM AD HOMINEM.

That describes the kind of argument you put forward drshrewd, where you try to assert yourself by belittling your opponent. I would take the better road, and deal with the issues.

If Amaechi built 1000 school buildings, or employed 130,000 teachers, is that the solution to the problem of half-education, or no-education bedeviling our society? To paraphrase my question, does a bigger house make a better home for children, if parents will still resort to trading blows whenever they have a disagreement?

I have maintained that Amaechi employed 13000 teachers, but we both know that those teachers would work and retire and/or resign and no other governor in Rivers state, present or future, would employ 13000 teachers again because it simply is not a sustainable solution. That would explain why even the FG wouldn't do it, either.

In the next 5-8 years, Rivers state would be looking for a way to downsize the bloated workforce. This is not we want, but we wouldn't, in all honesty, say we do not see it coming. And then, public education would be back to square one, except someone with vision steps in. In Adamawa state, Nyako employed even more than 13000. He called them Special assistants (SAs). The scheme is dead already, because it is not sustainable. That of Amaechi is not dead yet, because the state enjoys 13% derivation. But will it die? Of course, we know it will. It is only being delayed, not stopped. Its all the same - frittering away much needed funds on political gambits.

And does Amaechi advertise his achievements? The photographs you posted were not taken by you. They are products of a well-coordinated publicity programme. So does Amaechi advertise his "achievements"? Yes, he does.

It is good to know you did not try to deny that Amaechi killed the judiciary during his tenure. All you did was put up an excuse, with some AD HOMINEM remarks. So we can accept that he damaged that institution, and move on.

If you say that the free healthcare program (free medical, as it was known) is working, why did it come to a halt? And funny as it may sound, it began with so much fanfare and died quietly months later, without so much as a policy statement or an announcement. It was just programmed to die off on its own after achieving some political ends.

As for the monorail project, can you tell me what Port Harcourt residents have gained from it, since you insist it is not a waste of funds. Do we even need to argue this?

TIMA-RIV went the way of all other Amaechi projects. By the time he was leaving office, TIMA-RIV staff had salary arrears of at least three (3) months. They were living off the monies they extort from motorists. That institution - TIMA-RIV, died as its founder was living office. So much for building and strengthening institutions. Compare it with LASTMA of Lagos State and you will understand what I mean when I say that it was programmed to die as soon as its political ends were achieved.

Or do we also have to mention what happened to the waste management bodies as he was leaving office?

Now, before I continue, I would like to let you know that I do not just visit Rivers; I have a home in Port Harcourt.

Back to the main point being discussed, I would like to ask - Why is it okay to demand for a new constitution, and alright to demand for a sovereign national conference, but wrong to demand for a new federating structure?

don't normally have time for this round about argument because you are sounding very illogical (am truly sorry to say that)

somebody built hundreds of schools with world class facilities and you said he had no need to employ teachers and staffs to man the schools . please can some one explain this guy's argument
where is the evidence that Adamawa employed more teachers and if he did do they have a need to fill?in other words do they built as much schools to accommodate these teachers?
apart from building world class schools with well equipped lab and library, ICT facilities, best of sports facilities, sick bay, miniature farm, etc, employing the best brains as well as retraining the old ones how else do you want the then governor to revamp the educational sector .
the 13,000 teachers only added slightly above N1b monthly wage burden on the River government and what make you think its unsustainable . A state that receive 13% derivation and once saved N1b every month even with huge wage bill. my friend you can't take anything away from the visionary leader Rotimi Amaechi

your hate for Amaechi and good governance has really beclouded you reasoning. how can you say Rivers health care is dead . either you are saying this out of spite or deliberately obstinate.

it seems you are still in your obtuse streak. I have told you before that monorail projects world over takes time to complete and when completed is far better than the conventional ground rail in urban transit system especially in a densely populated metropolis. this is because their is hardly possibility of accident either with vehicle or humans___get this in your skull

insisting that he shut down the courts in Rivers shows that you are never ready to learn. who appoint judges in the state?

Result of highness from kunu n brukutu

Mordecai:
First of all, TheGoodJoe, I think you are just parroting Amaechi's propaganda, seeing as most of your audience do not stay at Port Harcourt and know little about what you are saying and thus cannot prove you wrong.

As much as infrastructure is needed to boost education, infrastructure does not "educate". People and institutions do. We have learnt that institutions develop society, not buildings, not the whole chimichaga you attribute to Amaechi as achievements.

Amaechi did not bring development to Rivers State because he began killing all the institutions there. He succeeded in killing the judiciary. The healthcare sector was dying too, because he instituted free healthcare for everyone, and then refused to fund it. Months into the programme, the whole scheme collapsed. And you should not argue about it, because these are facts. Free healthcare is dead in Rivers State today, even long before the end of Amaechi's administration.

His monorail project - do we really have to tell you it was a white elephant project and a waste of funds?

Not to waste time on Amaechi, let me deal with your assertion that IPOB should direct the protests at Igbo leaders.

You are aware of the idiom - first chase away the wild fox, then we can warn the hen against venturing far into the wild.

The Igbo have their leaders, but who ends up as Governors? Those whom the Federal Government foists on them. We have not forgotten the case of Ngige/Uba, Uba/Peter Obi, Ngige/Obiano. These were all struggles wherein the FG tried to foist their candidate on Anambrarians. While Anambra has been successful in holding their own, other states haven't. You can remember that Chinua Achebe, of blessed memory, even refused national honours from Obasanjo for this same reason.

Because Anambra has been able to keep the leaders it wants, Anambra is working today. Institutions are working. And despite not having to waste money building "Amaechi" model schools, they produce the best students nationwide, at least according to the statistics we have today. They have working hospitals, where citizens can at least get attention without having to go to India. They do not need to, like Amaechi, buy big Mobile healthcare vans that eventually get dumped in BMSH Port Harcourt, after three months. A waste of resources. They have a government that is still carrying out massive projects even when other states can barely pay salaries. This is because they have been able to resist the FG and hold their own. That is the model that gives IPOB hope that with a state of their own, the South East can develop rapidly.

Another case in point, who does the FG want to negotiate with over Biafra? The protesters or the Governors? If they really want peace will they not release Kanu and attempt negotiating with him?

So in a nutshell, IPOB is not a crusade against bad governance. It clearly isn't. It is a protest against the system that gives rise to the bad governance.

If you really do not understand this, then you chose not to.

nigga I don't think you've been to PH beforeif not you would not have been typing badadash

you said:
"As much as infrastructure is needed to boost education, infrastructure does not "educate". People and institutions do. We have learnt that institutions develop society, not buildings, not the whole chimichaga you attribute to Amaechi as achievements"

since you do not reside in Rivers state I will obliged to educate you. Amaechi made a radical and holistic revolution in the education sector. he did not only built hundreds of second to non public schools in the country but he also employed and trained over 13,000 teachers :o____can you beat that. even the then FG never employed as much in its entire dispensation. check out the job section of Nairaland you will find out that the thread about that massive employment is the only public employment thread that has been alive for over three years now. check it out here https://www.nairaland.com/1023351/rivers-state-teachers-recruitment-2012 this is not propaganda you will find over 600,000 posts of benefitiaries____These were previously poor unemployed graduates. Amaechi hardly advertise his achievement and most of his achievements are even mostly under reported. and hey, don't expect immediate results as these is wholistic revamping of the state's educational sector that took several years to complete and just materialize barely two years ago when the best of infrastructure met the best of brain. just watch out for Rivers State in the next 5 to 8yrs

you also said:

you are indeed a novice in Rivers state affair. he killed judiciary you said when the government in the center can not allow him appoint a chief judge? you must be rambunctiously discombobulated. go read the constitution of Nigeria dude

where did you get your info that the free medical care program was not working. why are you bent at discrediting good governance?

how can you say the monorail project is a waste when Architech Namadi Sambo the former VP during his campaign in PH said if Wike should be elected as governor he would complete the project. that Project is one of Amachi's legacy project that I love so much. I know you may not know the value of a monorail especially in modern Urban transit that's why you called it a wast. for your info that monorail was conceived to be completed in Phases to link up old PH township to as far as Eleme. monorail projects all over the world takes years to complete its not a cut and nail project that you can complete with a go. If you really understand the politics of how the private partners who are even the major financier of the project pulled out you will really appreciate the then State governor on the level of the project.

Afam4eva:
You just showed me a single picture out of 500./I can also show you one picture and claim that the Anambra state government built 1000 world class schools. You have to prove that Amaechi actually did build 500 schools.

Rotimi Amaechi achievements as a governor is the most under reported. those beautiful schools are all over the nook and crannies of the state____their is no mile around the state that you can't find atleast one of those schools.the great thing about those projects is that he built those schools from the scratch after demolishing the old ones which he felt was below standard.The primary schools are each equipped with ICT facility, modern library, science laboratory, football field, basketball pitch, volleyball pitch, a sick bay, nursery playground. He also employed over 13,000 trained graduates to man those schools___Have you ever wondered why Port Harcourt became the first city in sub Saharan Africa to win the World book capital ___ Amaechi is by far the most underrated achievers of our time

Tycoflu:
I thought I read on NL before that wike said he will pay all the outstanding debt from the scholarship. Naija politicians I hail oh!

hardywaltz:
RSSDA has been sending Rivers People overseas since 2008, so Wike has no excuse not to clear the bad log if he met any because on viewpoint WikeD claimed he spent N800m from the Billions he borrowed to pay for their tuition fees for those students.

Question:
After spending N800m on their tuition fees why are u now telling them to come home.

Thief Barr Nyesom WikeD is nothing but a common criminal.
He will soon got to jail after the probe on TETFund is concluded.

[b]you needn't waste your time responding to that dude that lack simple comprehension. this is the quot he was referring to in the article
Another parent said, “For almost one year now, the state government has stopped paying the students their allowance.
here the parents is saying for almost one year which may mean 10, 11, or 12 months. wike has spent almost 7 months in office and he's blaming Amaechi? Amaechi has been sponsoring hundreds of students every year when he held sway as a governor and he never recalled students even when we had one of the greatest economic downturn in history
Wike is a curse and failure

hardywaltz:
Rivers People hope u are happy with the clown ruling over you.

My friend's younger brother is also involved.
This my Friend and his Mum hate Amaechi with a passion despite the fact it was Amaechi that sent her son abroad on merit.

Their hatred was borne solely because he wasn't supporting GEJ (My friend is from Kalabari). He even blocked me on Facebook after we had a heated argument.

He was always of the belief that once Wike becomes Governor milk and honey will follow on the streets of Port Harcourt.

Some days ago he came to my office for me to help sell his mother's landed property.

Shocked I asked him why?

He told me they needed the money to pay for his younger ones school fees in Canada.

I tried to persuade him not to sell that the State Government will come around later; that was when he informed me that they just finished a meeting with the Commissioner for Agriculture (note not Education) who told them point-blank that they should bring their children home.

I felt sorry for him coz after all the insults he dished out on social media and shouting GEJ till 2019 while Dasuki, Dokpesi and Co were collectimg Billions of Naira he ended up losing friends and got nothing in return.

hahahhahahahahahahahahahahhhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahaahhaahhahahahahahah
Epic! that serve him right. I guess he will also campaign for wike in the up coming rerun

boujaye:
yes just as Buhari could nolonger fund Gej,s PRESSID, Wike can no longer fund Ameachi's RSSDA. A typical painful example of change cultivated by Buhari

OMG do you call that PRESSID or what ever a scholarship? a country of over 180m and you gave out scholarship of just 1yr to just 100 first class students and you call that scholarship we are talking about RSSDA that have dished out scholarship in their thousand with scholars running BSC, MSC and PHD programs. mediocre PRESSID that have barely produce only 300 scholars in its entire life time

Bow your head in shame
