The Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari personally re-negotiated the funding of the Lagos-Calabar rail project under the China-Exim loan agreement.

Osinbajo, who departed Calabar on Friday after a two-day working visit to the state, had during a town hall meeting with stakeholders on Thursday, said the Federal Government was desirous of assisting the state after ceding of Bakassi to Cameroon.

He also disclosed that the Odukpani-Ikot Ekpene road was captured in the 2017 budget, adding that the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Uguru Usani, was also pressing for the reconstruction of the Calabar-Ogoja Road.

He promised that issues of militancy in the Bakassi region raised by stakeholders during the town hall meeting would be addressed by the Federal Government.

Osinbajo said, “The ceding of Bakassi as a result of the judgment of the International Court of Justice is a development that we all consider a loss. But the President strongly believes that while we ruminate over the legal issues we must not allow Nigerian citizens in Ikang and elsewhere to suffer.

“The Federal Government will certainly do more and engage more with the displaced in Bakassi. This is our duty and our commitment. We will also thoroughly investigate the issues you have raised on the relationship between the military, the militants and the people of Bakassi.

“The Federal Government is certainly interested in Cross Rivers and the President himself re-negotiated the China-Exim loan for the Lagos-Calabar rail.

“In our budget this year, we have provided for the Odukpani/Ikot-Ekpene road and I also know that the Hon. Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Usani Uguru has been negotiating for the Calabar/Ogoja Road.

“There are other environmental projects that this government is working on, am sure you must have heard of the work we are doing in Adiabo-Okrikang Erosion Control, Eastern Naval Command Erosion Control Project Phase 1, among others,” he said.

Osinbajo stressed that the vision of the Buhari-led administration was to partner with state governments to create industrial, commercial and professional opportunities for the citizens.

He commended Governor Ben Ayade for the vision of opening a garment factory to address immediate job creation.

He said, “The vision of our President for our Nation is one where the Federal Government partners with the states to create industrial, commercial and professional opportunities for all our citizens.

“The business of government is to ensure that we facilitate trade, facilitate commerce, facilitate the professions and that is exactly what we are going to do and what we are doing in the next few months and in the next few years to ensure that we are able to provide all of the opportunities that are necessary.

“And that is why I commend the state government on the garment factory. That factory is an outstanding example of how to provide jobs very quickly to a large number of people and I hope that will be replicated in different states of the federation.”

Ezechinwa:
yeah. as I said earlier, go educate your brothers

Ezechinwa:
Of course, Religion has hindered growth in the north. and has given birth to falani herdsmen, Boko Haram ,Isis, etc...
only a blind fool will pretend not to see it.

Boko Haram is fighting for Independent Islamic state,
As for my Cage fighing For Biafra, we havent bombed or killed anyone to prove a point. so as I said earlier Cage is better than your uneducated brothers

Ezechinwa:
yeah Sharia is good, Hope your not holding a bomb as your typing?
That's the law Boko Haram are fighting for.. so it good, ill rather remain in my cage than bombing innocent people.

Ezechinwa:
taqiya.
Good, your one of the few who doesnt promote sharia then
lucky for you, help your brothers.. ( abokis)

schoolboij:
still doesn't prove anything. I don't expect you to understand though.

Ezechinwa:
when the Yorubas and Igbos where going to school, the hausas where praying in the mosque, so the nation should not move until we help them love to 2017?

that is like waiting till eternity, because they will never get ready, unlike they put aside their religious beliefs for once, and embrace Western education.

schoolboij:
guy I don't want to have anything to do with you cos of your unbridled arrogance and hate.

I'll wait until you critise pmb for still harbouring abba kyary.

BTW, the letter was written in your imagination. so you believe a state government would write such letter.

The House resolved to drop the probe following a plea through a letter by the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, which was read by the speaker, Kabiru Alhassan Rirum, on the floor of the House


In his letter, Governor Ganduje said he was calling for the investigation to be dropped as a result of interventions by highly-placed personalities in the matter.

These personalities, according to the letter, include the acting president, Yemi Osinbajo; party leaders; former heads of state Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar; Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar; and businessmen and indigenes of the state, Aliko Dangote and Aminu Dantata.

schoolboij:
I see you running amok on this thread .

first, there nobody by that name in the OP .it's just an ipob/PDP conspiracy.

secondly, the man at the center of this conspiracy is an Igbo man and he's very qualified.

third , there is no evidence that osinbajo ordered sanusis probe to be dropped. it's just an imagination of the writer. you all beli osinbajo is a powerless commissioner, how did he have the power to stop a northern state to drop a probe? are you not shooting yourself in the foot?

we all know this is just a starter to the propaganda ahead of 2019 so sheat your sword we all know the drill. and for your info, your atiku can never defeat osinbajo in 2019.

You still don't understand the concept of fairness in running a country or institution, why should fairness be based on friendship? No wonder all the government agency jobs go to the unqualified, because they are the ones with "friends in power". I get you now.

We really do have a problem in this country with this kind of thinking. Quite unfortunate.

ephi321:
That's not true. It was the first time the sponsor wasn't around. He later presented it and the bill was still turned down.
This whole thing will snowball eventually at this rate.

ephi321:
Every part of the country is entitled to development. Stop hiding under the guise of "not building bridges" to support an unfair act.
The SE is still a part of Nigeria at this current moment, still contributes to its coffers, and so should be entitled to what any other region is entitled to.

That is fairness. One of the key things lacking in this country.

ephi321:
I have read it, you were trying to be sarcastic to make your point, but it fell flat.

ephi321:
So why was a similar bill passed for the North? I can see you are trying to be sarcastic, but you've failed.

A similar bill to establish the North- East Development Commission had since been passed by the National Assembly, awaiting the assent of President Muhammadu Buhari.

bilulu:
northerners will always support their own no matter wat. dey ve ruled dis country more dan any other region yet we re stagnant. wat has Buhari done dat u were praising him? in whose administration did d economy slide into recession? who supported corruption in case of Babachair? who cleared him with letter? who has refused to sack EFCC chair despite all allegations against him? am jux happy tins are turning out dis way so d Yoruba's will learn dat northerners can never b trusted

bakynes:
I'm Yoruba I hope u know that? You know for sure if not for Federal Character, the Southerners would dominate the entire political and economic sphere because they are more competent and well read than Northerners.

Tell them to invest in Education and build schools than building mosque up and down.

bakynes:
Mr Man stop pouring spit all over this thread, I am not supporting Osinbajo but all these allegations is mere speculations. What do you know, you think you are brilliant enough? Why didn't you join them as an economic team member?

If true about the appointments, I think that's nepotism even though he appointed other Southerners asides Yoruba's but the ratio of Yoruba to other southerners is too much on the side of Yorubas. Northerners barely have anything to offer intellectually anyway, so I don't blame him for not appointing any Northerner. All they rely on is Federal character over competency.

ephi321:
Hmm. I don't know the technicalities of the reserves and the implication of those actions, so won't comment much on that aspect.

For the Sanusi probe, I think Buhari would do far worse but just not openly. I'm still not convinced Osibanjo played an active role in getting the probe stopped. To what benefit exactly? What would he gain by doing so?

bilulu:
and why should he respond? has Buhari responded? don't forget all service chiefs re from d north ntn happened

bkool7:
I think you're on to the wrong fellow . I wasn't the one you're debating

My bad. I meant to qoute the other dude that claimed 5tri was spent

Agumbankembu:
Oops, the contraption is collapsing before your very eyes, nobody down here fears your turbaned overlords and the military you control.
Scare me more.

I need to remind you that ur demi-god Buhari borrowed N5trn to build only a helipad in Daura and Abuja runway, you should be concerned of how you will pay back the loans and/or service the interests, you think it is by threat.

hammer6:
U dont have the power to give Biafra, the UN does.

Ape!

hammer6:
We will build Berlin wall.

U dont like us, we dont like u, y cant we divide the country and say nice knowing u whilst we head N,S,E and W.

Look even after killings, the country will still divide. No country survives two Civil War on same topic.

Agumbankembu:
Pls how many bridges did North East build after bombing their places to middle age cos of Islam?
Your problem is that young generations of Igbo people have refused to kowtow to whims and caprices of "born to rule" feudalists.

From 1999 till 2015, we have supported all presidential candidates other people brought, even leaving ours, and what we get is "we don't build bridges", we can never be subdued, fvck your bridges.

Kicking out SEDC doesn't stop diseases that the world had forgotten to be ravaging other "privileged" enclaves, neither does it bridge the gap of human development index that is on the back footing in other enclaves compared to ours.
The only thing it may delay is building PortHarcourt road Aba, and Aba-Azumini-Ikotekpene road, it does not stop Aba fabricators from crafting dredging and agro allied machineries, it does not stop Aba fashion industries from shipping 3 million pairs of shoes outside the country weekly.

Burn the fvckng bridges, the ones we built aren't giving us any leverage whatsoever.
