PoliticsBudget: FG To Spend N837bn On 2,254 Roads, Bridges by Ikaeniyan0(op): 5:15pm On Dec 11, 2023
The Federal Government is planning to rehabilitate and construct 1,925 roads and highways across the country in the 2024 budget proposal, according to findings by The PUNCH.

The government also allocated N548.56b for roads construction in 2024, with the East-West and Benin-Akure roads getting N2bn and N3.75bn respectively.

This is however separate from the N288.44bn allocated for the modernisation of 329 roads and bridges in the 2023 supplementary budget.

If road projects in the supplementary budget are added to those in the 2024 budget proposal, it means the government is expected to spend N837bn on 2,254 roads and bridges in the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years.

The road projects to be executed under the Ministry of Works also indicated the provision of N1.05bn for the removal of overgrown vegetation on some federal roads.

An analysis of the 2024 budget christened, “Budget of Renewed Hope”, showed that the ministry allocated N3.19bn for the purchase of 50 motor vehicles.

Some of the road projects to be constructed include the rehabilitation of Kabba- Ayere- Isua- Ipele road in Kogi and Ondo states at the cost of N2.14bn, as well as the construction of Ikot Ekpene border Aba-Owerri dual road at the cost of N1bn. Also, the dualisation of Lagos- Otta road will gulp N1bn while N8.2bn was provisioned for the counterpart funding of the Lafia bypass and 9th mile Enugu- Makurdi road.


The Kano-Maiduguri Road Section IV, Potiskum-Damaturu Road got an allocation of N2.1bn, while the dualisation of Aba-Ikot Ekpene road in Abia/ Akwa Ibom states was allocated N1.41bn; the construction of Ikot Ekpene border-Aba – Owerri dualisation got the sum of N1.01bn, while the rehabilitation of Odukpani junction -Akpet central section -Ikom-Ogoja road in Cross River State got N1.1bn.

The budget also made provisions for the construction of culverts and drainage in flood-prone areas on federal roads in the South-East zone at the cost of N3.03bn; N10.7bn for the counterpart funding for the expansion of the Abuja-Keffi carriageway while the rehabilitation of three sections of the Lokoja-Abuja road got N6bn, dualisation of Suleja-Minna road phase II in Niger State got N500m.

A similar provision of N3.031bn was made for culverts and drains at flood-prone areas of the federal road network in the North West zone, while the rehabilitation of Shagamu road in Lagos State will gulp N1.3bn. The rehabilitation of the access road to Apapa/Tin can Island Port/NNPC depot got a budgetary allocation of N143.5m.



In the South-South zone, provision was also made for culvert drainage and flood-prone areas on the federal road network in four locations in Rivers State for the sum of N2.6bn, the rehabilitation of Odukpani-Itu-Ikot Ekpene road, section I Odukpani- Itu Bridge head both in Cross River State, received an allocation of N1.5bn.

For the dualisation of Ibadan/Ife-Ilesha road in Oyo State, a sum of N2.2bn was allocated, while N104m was set aside for the rehabilitation, construction and expansion of Lagos-Shagamu-Ibadan dual carriageway section I, Lagos State.

The ministry also proposed to spend N15bn on emergency contingency funds, N145m for gaming and sports equipment, while local travel and transport was allocated N33 million.

In the budget, the Federal Road Maintenance Agency also got N66.702bn for the repair and maintenance of federal roads and bridges in the country while an appropriation of N1bn was given for the construction of the agency’s corporate headquarters.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Works has instructed contractors who are being owed to approach the ministry with all relevant documents between December 12 and December 22, 2023.

The ministry through a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the minister, Uchenna Orji, on Sunday, said the current administration inherited huge debts arising from unpaid certificates of road projects to the tune of N1.5tn, a reduction of N10tn from the N11.16tn announced by the former Minister of Works, Babatunde Fashola, while defending the 2023 budget.

Umahi revealed that to tackle the debt inherited from the past administration on ongoing road projects nationwide, he had set up six committees to review all debts of unpaid road projects.

The minister said that the committees would also review the approved and unapproved variation of prices and all augmentations that were approved or were yet to be approved and make recommendations to the ministry.

The statement read in part, “The minister notes the huge debts arising from unpaid certificates inherited from the past administration, which runs up to N1.5tn up till date and the expected contract reviews arising from inflation and has, therefore, set up six committees of one committee per geopolitical zone to review all debts of unpaid certified certificates generated before May 29th, 2023, and from May 29th 2023 to date.

“The committees will also review the approved and unapproved variation of prices and all augmentations that were approved or are yet to be approved and make recommendations to the ministry’s management.”

PoliticsRe: Buhari Set To Flag-Off Third Oil Field In Northern Nigeria by Ikaeniyan0: 3:25pm On Dec 11, 2023
XAUBulls:
Bump.


DAILY POST reports that this was contained in a public announcement on Monday by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.

The oil field is located in Ebenyi at the Headquarters of Obi Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

The flagging-off is scheduled for Tuesday, 28 March 2023.

It is the second oil field in the North Central region; the first was the Ibaji Oil field in Kogi state.

In the history of Nigeria’s exploration, the Ebenyi Oil field is the third in Northern Nigeria; the first was Kolomani, located in the Bauchi/Gombe axis.
So how many barrels of oil is the three oil well located in the north producing per day?

Another Igbo man is also the governor of Delta state which already has 2 seaports and also close to the atlantic..

you are very ignorant and you're accusing me of ignorance.

you have a mental problem
Did you go through my comment or you're just so shallow to understand my comment??

You said Ikwerres are close to the atlantic ocean and I said NO, Ikwerres are not close to the Atlantic ocean.

An urhobo man is the governor of Delta state and where the delta port is located is in warri, and warri is not part of Igbo land. Delta have just one seaport.

And Ikwerres are not Igbo. Wike made it clear.

BusinessRe: Femi Otedola Congratulates Aliko Dangote On The Completion Of His Refinery. by Ikaeniyan0: 5:47pm On Dec 10, 2023
Naija2023:
The price of fuel will not drop. Wake up from your delusion . Crude oil is priced on international price. Dangote refinery was a major investment in dollars with alot of foreign staffs, foreign bank loans and foreign investors.

It can only reduce the price by 50 naira per litre maximum which is the cost per litre in transporting PMS from Europe and Asia to Nigeria.

However, since there is already some subsidy in the current PMS at 600 to 700 naira, dangote refinery won't reduce the price by 1 naira. it will only reduce the cost of give subsidy by about 50 naira .
You didn't understand putindbutt comment. He was mocking the sore losers

3: NNPC to supply next four cargoes in three weeks.

5: 54 African countries dey import petroleum products from Europe. It means they will import from Nigeria. Una see jobs opportunities now.

PoliticsRe: Ondo: The Hue And Cry Over Signature Forgery by Ikaeniyan0: 3:56pm On Dec 09, 2023
OndoEyes:
Ondo, the Sunshine State, has recently been the center of attention. It is no longer news that the vibrant and courageous governor of the state, our respected Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, is currently indisposed. Despite the immunity his office enjoys, he is susceptible to falling ill, as no one is a superhuman.

Akeredolu is a governor who has left an indelible mark on the history of Ondo State. His impacts and accomplishments extend beyond the boundaries of the state. He is known for his strong voice and courageous stance. He stood up for the Yoruba race during the killing spree by herdsmen. Akeredolu challenged the audacity of some northerners who attempted to retain power after the eight-year rule of Muhammadu Buhari. He was a leading advocate for a southern presidency.

As a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Aketi, as he is fondly called, is known for his advocacy of true federalism, power devolution, and equality in politics. He is an honest politician, a rarity in the corridors of power. He is known for his straightforwardness and truthfulness, yet he remains loyal. This legal luminary turned politician from Owo has chosen to follow in the footsteps of the late sage, Pa. Obafemi Awolowo, and his kinsman, Late Adekunle Ajasin.

Since June 2023, the government of the state has been embroiled in a protracted crisis. It appears that the Deputy Governor is in a hurry to step into his boss's shoes. While Akeredolu was recuperating in Germany, the embattled Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, was scheming to take over as the Governor of the state. It is no longer hidden that Aiyedatiwa was behind the series of media attacks on Akeredolu.

A sinister plot had already been orchestrated. Aiyedatiwa and his team had already made plans for the post-Akeredolu era. Despite not having access to the governor, they were making serious plans for his funeral. It is disheartening to wish ill upon a man who has shown you kindness.

These plans were frustrated by Akeredolu's return to Nigeria. Those who attended the Ibadan meeting a day after Akeredolu's return confirmed the disbelief and disappointment written all over Aiyedatiwa's face. He was surprised that the governor made it back home. What followed was an aggressive display of shattered expectations.

Just yesterday, Lucky's anointed Deputy Governorship hopeful, Rasaq Obe, raised an alarm about alleged forgery of the Governor's signatures. He wrote a letter addressed to the Deputy Governor to protest the alleged forgery and asked him to investigate. It is too convenient for Obe to suddenly discover a forged signature. Moreover, there is credible information that Obe received approvals for N150m to organize DevelopOndo and another N26m to renovate his office between June and now.

It is a sheer show of disrespect and unbridled pride for this commissioner to have taken the governor's signature for forensic analysis. The truth is that Obe knows what he is doing. They know that no one is forging the governor's signature. We all know that Akeredolu is sick and still recuperating, which may result in irregular signatures.

What baffles us is why Obe wrote a protest letter to the Deputy Governor. Is it the Deputy Governor's signature that is allegedly forged? Why did he not write to the governor? Why did he not address the letter to the owner of the forged signature? Who is Obe to have taken the Governor's signature for a forensic audit? Many questions are begging for answers.

It is evident that the noise about the forged signature is part of a grand plan by Aiyedatiwa and his associates to force the governor to transfer power to him. Aiyedatiwa has disregarded the rules of engagement and has gone all out. He detests the governor for not dying already. He has spent a considerable amount on a needless battle and has set his eyes on the state treasury to recover from his financial mess.

So, the next time you read anything about a forged signature, it is all part of a game plan. It is meant to deceive the people of the state. The plan is to portray the governor as incapacitated and incite a move to forcefully take power from Akeredolu. Aiyedatiwa is behind it all. That is why Obe wrote that letter to the Deputy Governor and not Akeredolu. It is truly unfortunate. Aiyedatiwa, Obe, and their cohorts are kicking a man who is already down. That is wicked.
