Let's be honest, Dangote fuel is not more expensive that imported ones else these countries won't buy from him.
Those corrupt NNPCL and independent marketers knows what they are doing.

wiseoneking:
SS overtaking SW despite the presence of Lagos. 85% of SW IGR is from Lagos alone. I think SS ought to be praise this time around.

GDP is actually the measure of wealth of state not IGR. IGR is as a result of taxation of goods, coys, individuals etc.

Grow Akwa Ibom state economy by building a tower in Lagos?

Did Eno get drunk on cheap alcohol like that Wike and his leaking stupid mouth

Oh so you're actually referring to 1979 as one of his sins
Well, the problem with folks like you is he listed what he achieved between 1999-2007 and you're here ranting about 1979. That's strange not so.
You totally missed what he was saying

Kukutente23:
I want to believe you can't be so stupid to believe the trash you wrote. Operation feed the nation of 1978 in 2007? Haba!! What are you smoking

EmperorCaesar:


Thats because GEJ was one of the few Presidents that ruled us after you

Jonathan was shit...Under him, billions was wasted for no just cause

I remember Dansuki
I remember Stella Oduah bullet proof cars

Ngozi Okonjo couldnt account for the missing $20m under her

GEJ oversaw the most corrupt practices ever in Nigerian history. The biggest heists too

We should skip his era and erase his name from our history

Why don't they use the money to set up uninterrupted power supply and tackle hunger in the land? Why another highway project? What kind of misplaced priority is this? What a country!!!

Botswana, a country once labelled the poorest country in the world, who gained independence 5 years later than Nigeria, now has a GDP per capita which is 3 times that of Nigeria. This is the result of eradicating corruption.

Since 1960, only regression, no progression whatsoever. Na wa o!

The President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Akinwunmi Adesina, has confirmed that his institution, in collaboration with others, will mobilize $15 billion for the construction of the Lagos-Abidjan Highway project.

JASONjnr:
I keep saying one thing.... Make seaport functional in all regions and see if Lagos will amount to anything.

Don't come to my mention to ask me who stopped me from making my region seaports not to function if you don't understand the politics Lagos is playing with it.

Today, I declared open the Lagos Physical Planning Summit 2024, with the theme; Rethinking Lagos: A New Vision for a Regional and Integrated Megacity.

The summit is an opportunity for us to engage in discussions about the future of our city and explore innovative strategies for its development.

It was a pleasure to have former governor Babatunde Raji Fashola in attendance and his invaluable experience and insights into the planning of Lagos definitely enriched the conversation.

I am pleased to announce that women were a greater number among the 5,512 graduates of the 2023/2024 LEEP skill acquisition courses held across our 19 skill centers in Lagos State.

This achievement reflects our commitment to gender equality and inclusion, aligned with the THEMES+ development agenda of our administration.

During the graduation ceremony today, I reiterated the importance of skills acquisition in our fight against poverty and our efforts to empower women, young adults, and vulnerable groups. We are dedicated to fostering an environment where skilled individuals can thrive.

I encouraged the graduates to innovate, inspire their peers, and stay connected with one another, leveraging the networks they have built as they embark on their new paths.

Recently, we held the Onboarding Ceremony for 2,500 interns in the Lagos State Graduate Internship Placement Programme (GIPP).

This initiative was created to tackle the issue of youth unemployment while helping young people gain valuable skills and experiences.

There is a significant gap between what students learn in school and the practical skills needed in the workplace. This gap often leaves many graduates struggling to find jobs. That’s why the GIPP was established: to help bridge this divide and ensure that graduates, especially post-NYSC graduates, are well-prepared to thrive in their careers.


We take the issues faced by our youth seriously, and we are committed to making a difference. Programs and initiatives like GIPP respond to the urgent need for solutions that empower young people and create real opportunities for them.

The ultimate goal is to help these young individuals build sustainable wealth across various industries, reflecting our administration’s dedication to the future of our youth.

With good, competent and credible leaders, nothing is impossible..

It is not by accident that Lagos State is blessed with good leaders, they created an agency to train members of the civil service, and they also have the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy, the Lagos Physical Planning Summit and the Lagos State Graduate Internship Placement Programme

these ports built by the FG in the south are not working

MadPolitician:
New one!
According to the agbadorian professor of "Make it up as you go" here, a president can wake up and hand over national assets to say Clifford Orji if he feels that that is in the national interest! Very interesting civic education right there.

Why was Obasanjo wasting massive resources with his privatisation programme then? He could have easily handed the Portharcourt refinery to Dangote, the failed banks to Otedola and NITEL to Adenuga! Who doesn't knownthese three would have run those better?? And he should have done that with just an executive order!! And ofcourse, with no recourse to the constitution or National Assembly!!! Is that not wonderful? I bet not even your villages meeting has been run with such agbadorian alacrity!!!

Our "Come and chop" government and their internet hirelings will never kill me and you with their patented brand of convulated bulaba logic.

MadPolitician:
"Dead assets" should be privatised through a well organised privatisation process sanctioned by the national assembly. The constitution must recognise the process. That is not the case here. These multi billion naira edifices, were give to Lagos state for free. They are not supposed to be handed over to an APC state by a federal government led by an APC president! That is what we call "conflict of interest". It is corruption, but how would you know, if you are a member of a party that has more or else normalised corruption in the country?


I wasn't arguing with anyone. I stated a very clear point. Federal assets must go through clear processes known to the constitution, before being handed over to anyone. These are not properties built or bought by Lagos state. They were built by the federal government as federal assets! You wouldn't see my point because somehow, the illegality going on at the moment favours you and your principals. But if tomorrow, a president not from the APC comes on, and starts handing all sorts of federal government built assets to say Gwari people in Abuja, I'm sure the notorious Lagos ibadan expressway media houses will be up in arms as usual.
