Good beautiful morning

What’s that on his signature Sir?

Kewtt:
The South South geopolitical zone (Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, and Rivers States) is a major focus for federal projects, especially in the areas of road infrastructure, flood control, environmental remediation, and port development.
Here are the major federal government projects and initiatives in the region:

Strategic Road & Bridge Infrastructure
These projects are crucial for linking the region to the rest of the country and enhancing intra-regional trade.

1. East-West Road Project
* Description: This long-standing and critical road spans from Warri (Delta State) to Oron (Akwa Ibom State), linking several states in the South-South. It is one of the most vital economic corridors in the country.

* Status: Ongoing. The Federal Ministry of Works is now using reinforced concrete technology on many sections to prevent the perennial pavement failures caused by the wetland environment and heavy flooding.


* Sections in Focus:

* Section II: (Kaiama-Ahoada in Rivers/Bayelsa States) is being aggressively tackled, with a reported deadline for completion of April/November 2025 for certain sub-sections.

* Section 3A: (Eleme Junction to Onne Port Junction in Rivers State) is being upgraded to improve access to the major port complex.


2. Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway (Phase 1)

* States Involved: The full project connects Lagos (South West) to Calabar (Cross River State).

* Status: Ongoing. The first phase of this massive project is currently progressing, with the ultimate goal of connecting the coastal corridor of the entire region.

3. Second Niger Bridge Access Roads

* States Involved: Delta (South South) and Anambra (South East).

* Status: The main bridge is completed. The focus is on completing the access road linkages on both sides to integrate the bridge with the major road network in Delta State.

4. Odukpani – Itu – Ikot Ekpene Road

* States Involved: Cross River and Akwa Ibom.

* Status: Ongoing dualization and rehabilitation. The project is being funded through the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Tax Credit Scheme, ensuring dedicated funding. This road is essential for linking the two states.

Environmental and Development Projects
The region receives special intervention funds and projects due to its status as the Niger Delta.


5. Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP)

* Area: Ogoniland (Rivers State).

* Description: This is a federal initiative implementing the recommendations of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report on the cleanup of pollution in Ogoniland.
* Projects: The mandate includes:

* Remediation and Cleanup of contaminated sites.

* Provision of Potable Water: New water projects have been commissioned in communities like Bane and Gwara to restore access to clean drinking water.

* Livelihood Restoration and support for affected communities.


6. Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Projects

The NDDC, a federal intervention agency, executes thousands of small to large-scale infrastructure projects across all nine Niger Delta states. Recent notable projects include:

* **Ogbia-Nembe Road (Bayelsa): A 25.7 km road with bridges to link the ancient city of Nembe, which was previously inaccessible by road.

* Shoreline Protection/Land Reclamation:

Numerous projects across the coastal areas of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, and Delta States (e.g., at Iko-Iwuochang in Ibeno LGA and various Delta waterfronts) to combat erosion.

* Iko-Iwuochang Road (Akwa Ibom): A 6.87 km road and bridge project commissioned to link 20 communities.


✈️ Aviation and Transport

* Port Harcourt International Airport (Rivers): The Federal Executive Council (FEC) recently approved the concession of the Port Harcourt International Airport to improve its management and upgrade its facilities to international standards.

Lukgaf:
It's an hypocrisy to say it's only Christians being affected by the insecurity in Nigeria. Let's be objective, please!

femmyAdagba:
Thatsa big lie.
CNG conversion is now trending,
It's user friendly and economical.
No damages to your Engine and it takes a day to achieve.
The second day, your vehicle is test-runned

As a matter of fact, Dangote trucks are CNG equipped

Perfectly said and understood.
@ Prof Agbede, of course! Would mention a couple of others but that would stray too close to opening me up!

Back in my time Yahoo boys were not so much the problem as cultists but in my school cultism was mild compared to some other scary places.

:
I think standards have fallen in the public sector obviously. When I was there, our lecture halls were fully air conditioned, library, top notch (and I strongly doubt private universities have a comparable library up till today), hostels were not bad at all, though I never stayed there, and there were really classy restaurants about, comparable to some upscale ones in town.

Most importantly the pedigree of the academic staff was spectacular. To give an example, Professor Yemi Osinbajo was just one of all all star cast of lecturers in those days. And cerebral as he is, he was by no means special among them. There were absolute geniuses too many to count. Not just intellectually but with robust character.
