this guy is sound. one of the reason why i wholly support presidential debate. come out and tell us your dreams and vision for the country. if acquiring a PhD requires you to do research and present papers and proposals for your supervisors to vet. How much more taking the reins of leadership in an entire country. Now i know i why advance countries insist on a debate for their public office holders in other for the electorate to vet them. |
CSTR1003:bros is it through scholarship? |
SmartPolician:hehehehehehehehehe. Buhari might lose lagos by a fat margin. |
better than buhari |
lol. Buhari is on his own o. Ezekwezili has jump ship |
op, include dankwambo there as well, cos i'm rooting for dankwambo |
hehehehehheehehe. see finishing. I'm just licking my lips and preparing to laugh at the verbal missiles that politicians will be launching at each other, as campaigns will soon start. reno has set the ball rolling, waiting for el rufai to respond. lol. |
lol. the same fate that befell GEJ is awaiting you sir at the polls. Nigerians will decide once again |
samstels:lol. i wonder what he will campaign with |
MhizzAJ:see their type here |
hahahahahahahhahaha. my belle o. i no fit laugh. chai some girls wicked die |
modelmike7:true talk. i'm a huge fan of samsung |
eleojo23:Obviously there is some thing wring with the black man. Mean while in this part of the world it is even the doctors fighting for other health workers not to recieve better pay. This guys are truly a different breed. They fully understand the principle of multidiscipline appraoch to patient health care, unlike our selfish and pugnacious egomaniacs parading themselves in our health care system. |
Sagamaje:true talk, if atiku would just be patriotic and support this guy considering age is not on his side as well, then this guy will be dominant force that will sweep buhari out of Aso rock. Dankwambo has a more national appeal |
Mortiple:i always laugh when people say dankwambo can not defeat buhari. My take is that, he will absolutely floor buhari with his credentials as a public servant at the polls. And young nigerians will rally round him instead an old buhari whom we are tired off. I'm sure of the SE, SS, SW and MB support for dankwambo, because this are the most educated regions in nigeria. Winning these regions has already given him the presidency. |
even budget too has become rocket science to pass |
Sagay212:you do have a point there |
to endorse dankawambo i guess. Dankwambo 2019, i cast my vote |
Blue3k:so where is the road passing, is it not still through a virgin forest? so are there no animals in that forest? cross river road was readjusted not to pass through the reserve sites, but yet howl of protests. Same environmetalist have suddenly gone mute here. Akwa ibom has so many good roads, yet it is constructing more, but cross river has so many bad roads but want to construct a new one, rather it is cross riverians opposing it. |
funny enough, where are the environmentalist protesting cross river super highway, why are they suddenly silent in akwa ibom's case. |
until there is a protest this strike may continue |
ABUJA— Witnesses at a sectoral debate on the revival of moribund Ajaokuta Steel Company organised by House of Representatives, yesterday, revealed that politicians and government officials were frustrating the completion of the complex. They also stated that the balkanization of the complex, which had given vents to moves to concession the complex, was being championed by officials with vested interest. In the meantime, the House of Representatives has directed the Federal Government to halt the concessioning moves. The House also resolved to set up a powerful adhoc committee to probe all the allegations raised about the consessioning and the completion of the company. Testifying before the House, one of the witnesses, Hadiza Akpoti, specifically fingered Governor of Kogi State, Yaya Bello as one of those deeply involved in the Ajaokuta Steel Complex scam. In her presentation, Akpoti alleged that Global Infrastructure, the concessionaire of the steel complex has a direct link with Gov Bello, who probably is a co-owner of the company registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission,CAC, as Ajaokuta Company Ltd. She said: “The government of Shehu Yar’Adua had indicted Global Infrastructure after an administrative panel had recommended it should not run the affairs of the complex.” The company went into arbitration and finally won and the Goodluck Jonathan government paid Global Infrastructure $525million as compensation. A former Attorney General in the Yar’Adua government was said to have played a prominent role to ensure the company won. Regrettably, Akpoti said: “It’s this same company that has returned as concessionaire working with a company suspected to be owned by the Governor of Kogi State.” The witness also stated that she had made several calls to the Economic and Crimes Commission, EFCC to reopen the case against Global Infrastructure but to no avail. “Last year, we wrote to EFCC several times to reopen the case because we believe that a crime against Ajaokuta is a crime against Nigeria”, she said. Akpoti also numbed the argument that Nigeria lacked the financial capabilities to complete the project. “If the Minister of Finance were to be here, I would have asked a very. Important question. How can we say that Nigeria doesn’t have the financial capabilities to revive Ajaokuta? It is not true. We do have funds.” Also revealing the participation of the former minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Adoke, the activitst cautioned against concessioning the complex to individuals. “Concession agreement by Adoke in Jonathan’s era. Did he review the agreement of the same agreement. “Ajaokuta is too important to be in the hands of one individual. A company that as it is should be the property of the federal government of Nigeria. The idea that somebody can own such a magnificent building create an uncontrollable greed.” She also asked the federal government to turn to the loots stashed in foreign accounts by the former Head of State, Sanni Abacha as an avenue to fund the project. Other presenters which included Comrade Isa Aremu from the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Engr. Sanusi Mohammed, Chairman, African Iron and Steel Producing Countries had underscored the importance of the complex to the Nigerian economy, asking the lawmakers to stand against its concessioning. Halt concession, Reps tell FG Suspicious of under-hand dealings in the unapproved concessioning of Ajaokuta Steel Company, the House of Representatives asked the Federal Government to halt the moves. The House also resolved to set up an high powerful adhoc committee to investigate all allegations, indictments and factors militating against the completion and operation of the company, said to have the capacity of generating millions of jobs for Nigeria. Members of the House while taking the decision expressed concerns that government could fathom such thought to commit an-all important sector of the economy into the hands of a few individuals. In his contribution, the Deputy Speaker of the House, Yusuf Lasun, said: “We are not ready for development. It touches on how we are running our government.’’ Also, the leader of the House, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila said the ministry of Solid Minerals and Steel Development should halt the concession moves. He said: “That the ministry should put hold on whatever they are doing. How does a nation concession a company that has the potential of manufacturing weapons? It is unconstitutional to concession a major sector of the economy. I think it’s time to roll our sleeves and dig deep on what is going on with Ajaokuta.” Also speaking, Aminu Shagari from Sokoto State recalled that a certain European had boasted that Nigeria wouldn’t be made another “Japan” of Africa. “Most of what we need to do about Ajaokuta steel company has already been said. A highly placed European told my Dad that we cannot allow Nigeria to be another Japan of Africa”, he said. On her part, Betty Apiah from Rivers State suggested the setting up of an adhoc committee to probe the matter. “The House should set up an adhoc committee to collate the various perspectives”, she said. Tajudeen Yusuf stated that “No country would love Nigeria better that Nigerians. Corruption has no party affiliation. Let’s commit ourselves to see this to the end.” Ruling on the matter, speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, said that the company must not be concessioned. He said: “All of us are deeply touched. It must not be concession. Concession to Global Infrastructure wouldn’t work. The decsion of this house is that we will constitute a powerful adhic commiitee and I want to implore the Minister and all those working with him to avail themselves of this opportunity to cooperate with the committee. “Halt any further plans to concession. Until that adhoc committee is able to turn in their decision. There is no country out there that will help us except if we do this moreso now we are borrowing money from China. When we talk about the money, we have the money and I believe we can find unless we are not serious.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/03/ajaokuta-witnesses-throw-can-worms-reps-sectoral-hearing/ |
CHAVINCI:hahahahahahahaha. Blood money was my scariest movie ever. the movie was a mental torment. |
the level of incompetence and highhandedness in this govt is prepostrous. The govt will still lose in the long run because they must still give them their demand at the end of the day, after wasting valuable time grandstanding for nothing. |
yet we celebrate external reserve of 41 billion |
nonsense. then what will then happen to looters? buried alive? |
if this is a joke, his sense of humour is very dry. |
this diagnostic centre is pristine. Every state should have this. As a scientist i'm so much in love with the pathology wing. Hoping to do my research using one of those facilities. Nothing beats a world class facility |
