Truth must be told. Most of the local road construction companies in Nigeria can’t build a modern day road because they don’t have equipment to do this.

Those companies are founded by our politicians as a away to defraud the country.

Shikini:
Lol ... this Umahi should calm down abeg.
Does he know the distance from Lagos to Calabar?

Ruke1989:
exactly my thoughts. Those roads are already existing. It's only Lagos axis that new roads would be created. The so called cement road: would they use machine to grade off the existing bitumen road in the path they are mentioning? Why is tinubu putting toll gates on the south south road and not doing same for all federal roads in the south west and north? We don't have more federal roads than the north and south west. So why toll gate ? Federal government must stop maltreating the south south by treating them only as cash cow but not as a golden hen to be idolized

He was actually Senate President for 8years! 🙂

*4Years under Yaradua/Jonathan.
*4Years under Jonathan.

He remains one of the most Astute and Respected Senate President Nigeria have Had.😊

He led a Truly INDEPENDENT Senate!

Not like the RUBBER STAMP GOON called Lawan or BOYBOY Godswill Akpabio! 😏😒

The Minister of Transportation, Senator Said Ahmed Alkali, has slammed the contractor handling the reconstruction of the Port Harcourt – Maiduguri narrow gauge rail line, describing the project as disappointing.

He stated this while fielding questions from newsmen during an inspection visit to work sites in Port Harcourt and Kom Kom Community in Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State on Friday.

While berating the contractor for using poor-quality material, he expressed doubts about the contractor’s capacity to complete the project in record time, describing the firm as unserious.

Alkali expressed annoyance that the project which was stipulated for three years had only attained 45 per cent completion after 12 months.



He stated, “I’m here in Port Harcourt in continuation of my inspection visit of all the railway projects across the country.

“This inspection is starting from Lagos, where we moved to Kano to inspect Mararadi and then to Daura to inspect the transportation university.

“So we are in Port Harcourt to inspect the Port Harcourt-Maiduguri reconstruction and rehabilitation of the eastern narrow gauge.


“I am disappointed in what I have seen because this contract was signed for 36 months and it’s to cover over 2000km. So far event from Port Harcourt to Aba is around 47 per cent.”


Continuing, Alkali said, “Ideally it is supposed to cover 47 per cent of the entire 2000km which by now we should be around plateau or so, and yet we are still struggling to be in Abia before the end of the year.

“I am not happy, in fact, I am disappointed. They are using manual alignment to lay the rail tracks in this 21st century. In this era of technology, if you are not ready for something, don’t even start it.

“The funding was made for 18 per cent to be provided by the federal government while 85 per cent to be provided by CCECC since the project kick-started the funding is only done with the federal government of 15 per cent. It shows how unserious the CCECC is in terms of the Port Harcourt-Maiduguri Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Project.”

On the next line of action, he said, “We have to go back to the ministry because whatsoever we do must be between the ambit of the law, whatsoever the law provides, I will make sure to enforce it.

“The project was signed last two years but the actual construction started last year, but even in a year’s time if you cannot cover Port Harcourt to Aba in 12 months, then how can you cover over 2000km in 36 months?

On the significance of the project, the minister said it will link the two seaports in Rivers State up to Maiduguri (Borno State) thereby enhancing regional trading.


He added “Cost of trading will be low, by the time we have started the passenger train. It will go a long way to cushion the effect of petrol subsidy withdrawal.”

Even if the 166,000 votes were rejected, what was the margin of defeat?

Abba won with more than 500,000votes

BALLOSKI:
They have all their own ballot papers stamped and signed? Lol


And the margin of victory is less than canceled votes already. Why not called for a rerun in the affected places? This judgment won't stand the test of appeal.

Doris4ever:
People are delivering that amount, though it depends on the car condition and negotiable.

Are you a driver or partner sir.

I thought some of you said Tinubu is the only one that can fight Fulani and put a stop to Fulani herdsmen menace.... OR were you guys just joking?

NzogbuNzogbu:
I get your point but she may just be innocent

She may just be at the wrong place in the wrong time, especially for someone that claimed he had taken poisoning into his system organize by his label

Jostoman:
That film called gang of lagos is real. No wonder they dont want the film to be released.

Malroux:
I know they will definitely deny her. Same way the medical association denied Noah Kekere that steals human vital organs.

NzogbuNzogbu:
The question is who send am

Let it not be that una dey play the naira Marley script where he has already asked focus to shift to the nurse.

How many nurses are really certified by association before people invite them to run personal treatment

FreeStuffsNG:
This is one more reason you should please wait for the police to release outcome of the autopsy.

For now, it's reasonable to presume that those you are pointing accusing finger at may be innocent.

This is one angle that you may be missing so wait before you do irreparable damage to an innocent person who can turn around to sue you, claim damages against you and demand your committal to prison for your lies, recklessness, cyberbullying and criminal defamation .

I learnt that the auxiliary nurses are trained at private clinics so if she is being detained and prosecuted then whoever trained her should be arrested too to serve as deterrent.

obi58:
Don't say what you can't defend.

How many APC votes in Kano were invalidated due to INEC errors?

Or was it coincidence that INEC failed to get it right only in 165k votes of NNPP alone?

No be JuJu be that?

Eriokanmi:
They've started again . I remember the osun tribunal. Kano governor should just concentrate on governance. He'd be there for 4 good years and if he does well, he'd do 8

Prince111111:
they didn't touch APC's votes try and check before quoting!
