Politics › City Of Cities; Akwa Ibom Kingdom Set To Decogest Lagos by Hunchogee(op): 5:44am On Jul 13, 2020
City of cities; Akwa Ibom kingdom is ready to decogest

By Sam Omatseye

LAGOS may be the vertebral bone of the Nigerian economy. But, like a bone gone awry during a meal, it can get stuck in the throat. The question of how to make Lagos right for everyone was the subject of a webinar recently organised by the United States embassy.

The topic of discussion was transportation. Lagos is nothing if not its mobility. For all its residents, the story every morning is not whether to move, but how to move, who to move, who should move, who to move to, where to move, what to move, when to move. Sometimes the Lagosian would have to understand each of these options as an epicenter of all the other options.

It is weird jigsaw puzzle where if and how and when and who are equally and simultaneously important. So the resident would have little time thinking or else, the only thing that would move is a mind that is tossing around possibilities. The result is a whirligig of inaction. Much thinking, like studying, is the weariness of the flesh, apologies to Solomon. So, the Lagosian has to wake up and go.
The question is, when he goes, he stays. Sometimes in a rut. That is what we all call go-slow, a snail in perennial motion. The US picked an expert, Robin Hutcheson, to give the main talk, and Nigerians also were selected to talk, and they included a representative of the Lagos State Commissioner for transportation, Engineer Toriola, a traffic specialist Tola Odeyemi and Prof Innocent Ogwude, a former vice chancellor and also an expert.

What struck me was that the issue of transportation in Lagos was mostly addressed as transportation. But I could not but be impressed by the way each discussant displayed understanding of the technicalities of transportation. The number of cars, the inadequacy of roads, space management, budgetary bugbears, easing nodal knots, pot holes, et al. Hutcheson showed great knowledge of what we need for every city and they also apply to Lagos. Her focus on space management was on the money, except that all who move around for money think little about some of the fine points, like focusing on the bus as the target of mass transit. Other issues include sidewalks, bike lanes, trains, metro, bus, light rail, train and additional creative points to foster connectivity between buildings and facilities.


Professor Ogwude said the reason Lagos lost its reign as capital was partly because of the need to ease commuting. He called for smart traffic lights, road pricing to discourage car usage, taxing car parking, introduction of car-pooling, accelerating light rail system and more focus on water transportation, which is only one percent as yet. He added that long travel corridors like Orile to Apapa, and Apapa to Mainland can be circumvented with alternatives in ferry travels. He also observed that the work on Ibom Deep Sea port being pursued by Governor Udom Emmanuel in Akwa Ibom State and the Lekki Deep Sea Ports hold prospects for easing matters. He also called for subsidy.

The publisher of Business Day, Frank Aigbogun, set the stage for discussion because, as the organisers noted, his paper has been very fervent about transportation in the city. He told a story of a tragic incident that resulted from transportation snafu.
It is not an issue that should be taken slightly. The population grows daily, the pressure too. This may create a discontent that may not be Lagos’ alone to bear but the centre. If the centre cracks, the whole nation tumbles. This is hoping that the centre does not wait until it can no longer hold.

IN his novel, War in a Time of Cholera, Garcia Marquez understood that without human love, all other things collapse. No matter how light-hearted the Nobel Prize-winning author wanted his novel to read, it ended sadly because the couple in the story had romance without peace.

So peace is so important that it vanquishes even the challenge of a disease. That is perhaps the birthday gift Akwa Ibom State Governor gave at the weekend. He is harvesting peace but also mobilising it to the battlefield: against a pandemic. After inheriting a state that reeled in blood and fights, the state is at one against a common enemy.


He has been able to do that by being the front-liner in his state in fighting Covid-19. He holds nightly meetings to cap his work having constructed a 300-bed isolation centre with a three-tier PCR laboratory, staked as the only one of its type and standard fully owned by any state government. This has earned him applause from the DG of the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). Witnesses say the isolation centre at the Ibom Specialist Hospital has a five-star ambience and facilities.

On birthdays, we celebrate life. What a better way to do it than by working to keep death at bay in his state in a time of pandemic.

U are correct she may be be part of the scheme in the biginning and then got tired of the whole game. That's why any one who comes to equity must do that with clean hands, never you start what you know you can't finish. Just that the nation abhors investigations involving those in the good books of the rulers otherwise all mentioned including the lady should be investigated if found guilty brought to book.

Lol. if you read my first post you quoted well, i never said he bombed a pipeline. Rather, that was part of the accusations laid down by the woman in the video. So, saying the woman have temperamental issues is not a reasonable explanation for that kind of accusation.


Also, with the way you have been defending him on this thread, and supporting all those who drop a comment in his support, its quite clear you are his fan, and its not all about dropping facts. No need to deny that.

Finally, if you haven't seen all the videos, then try to get everything. All those allegations cannot be disputed by the accuser having temperamental issue or her marrying 4 husbands.

Even if he doesn't want to deny it, he could have threatened to sue her. At least that would have made more sense than this.
My brother every politician in Nigeria and even Nigerian citizenry has potentiality of corruption including your darling JOY...people funnily leave all what Akpabio said on focus on the husbands statement but come to think of it how can you function well in an office if you are temperamental ..Go and read the Doctrine of a good Office Work and you will see the penalty for insubordination ok.

Finally she is just crying foul now cos she was sack, if not we no for here anything including allegations, so bro allow matter rest ..They are all thieves including Joy..And in the company of political thieves Akpabio is still the best compare to other cacus thieves..but let me ask you, who will you choose as Akpabio replacement, A woman with four ex husband not even lovers ooo or an angel to replace Akpabiohuh

I didn't want to comment on this issue but after reading a lot of comments, i had to say it is very funy. The woman alledges with no evidence or some form of proof. Akpabio ministry overseas nddc n subordinates are suppose to respect a senior ranking office. He has said that the ministry has written to her severally n no respond. He complained to the senators that she refused to grant briefing. I would expect this woman to talk on that. Akpabio went on to say that she has a temperament issue and that caused her job loss. We all know there was a serious corruption in nddc. An audit like this will make many uncomfortable and reactions like this is expected from anyone. The guilty ones will be exposed and name calling is not necessary.
That is my submission
Brilliant

At times I just wonder what Nigerian really need. You can't expect 100 per cent integrity from these Politicians . That's the fact. Am not in any way supporting fraud. My point is , Akpabio is one of the politician that has the interest of the people at heart. He works and of course benefit. Not like others that don't care they only care about their pocket and no meaningful project executed. Akpabio is the real man.
