Lagos could hit N400bn in IGR on 2018. It currently accounts for over 35% of IGR receipts by states in Nigeria.

How is your state doing on the IGR board?

Can Nigeria really grow without functional states with distributed wealth and tax receipts? #AskQuestions

Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Group, has assured Nigerians that when his refinery is ready, the country would no longer need to import petroleum products. The refinery would lower the prices of petroleum products in Nigeria and save some costs on importation when completed.

The refinery will have the capacity to refine 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day while the petrochemical plant will produce 780 KTPA Polypropylene, 500 KTPA of Polyethylene while the fertilizer project will produce 3.0 million metric tonnes per annum of Urea.

The 650,000-barrels-per-day refinery will come on stream by September 2019. Work has been ongoing on the proposed site at Ibeju Lekki area which is very close to the Eko Atlantic site.

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has described the recent “endorsement” by The Economist of London, of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, party, Muhammadu Buhari, in the coming election as scandalous and partisan.

In one of its recent reports , The Economist of London had predicted that President Muhammadu Buhari will win next year’s election.

However, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communication , Mr. Phrank Shaibu, Atiku described “as a poorly-executed hatchet job, the prediction by The Economist of London, in which the magazine put on the garb of a partisan and made no pretenses to professionalism while predicting that President Muhammadu Buhari will win next year’s poll.”

He said, on Monday, that “with the tacit endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term, in its current edition, the erstwhile influential news magazine has hit a new low by throwing all pretenses to the wind to take up the job of presidential spokespersons.”

“It is common knowledge that the Economist’s fortunes have taken a nosedive in recent months with its flip- flop on issues especially as it pertains the upcoming presidential election in Nigeria. But the magazine hit a new low in its current edition, ‘ The World in 2019,’ where it made projections of issues and events that will shape the year 2019 across many countries including Nigeria,” Shaibu said.

Shaibu said, “even if the All Progressives Congress (APC) or President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokespersons had written that story, it could not have been so recklessly partisan, so undisguisedly biased and so devoid of any shred of professionalism.”

According to him, “the so-called story which says, ‘the president, Muhammadu Buhari, will win re-election in February, as a new opposition coalition may collapse before the vote’ fails to meet the attributes of objectivity, balance and fairness.”

The Atiku spokesperson said “it was scandalous that the magazine went ahead to predict a victory for the APC candidate even when it said a Buhari’s second coming portends disaster for Nigeria.”

Shaibu said “it was sad that The Economist went on to endorse a failed president even when it admitted that ‘a Buhari’s second term would mean continuing political weakness, little prospect of progress in the fight against islamist insurgency in the north, nationalism in the oil producing Delta and secessionism in Biafra.”

He said “it was equally strange that the same magazine whose Intelligence Unit predicted that PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will lead the new government come 2019 has now made a u-turn to endorse President Buhari even when his performance in office is now at all time low.”

“But we hasten to say that with or without the endorsement of The Economist or any news medium for that matter, we will defeat Buhari fair and square,” he said.

Shaibu said “on May 29, 2019 when Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is sworn in as the President of Nigeria, The Economist will have to look elsewhere for patronage, since there will be no more room for cash and carry forecasts, and fully-paid for endorsements.”

He said that “the PDP Presidential Candidate was aware that when fake news materials are planted in big news outlets, they often help to lay the groundwork for rigging in elections.”

Atiku, however, warned that members of the opposition party and their supporters will resist the rigging of next year’s elections.

[b]The fact that more than 90% of the readers here are garnering 200+ likes believing the clone allegations tells you a story about the sorry state of our "education" in Nigeria.

If Washington Post had any credible evidence Buhari is a clone, they wouldn't joke with it, they would be rushing to push out the headlines

<sub>I watched the entire interview, the most naturally refreshing, highly intellectual interview I have watched from a public office holder in recent years. I was literally spellbound for the entire 1hour plus duration. Fashola is amongst a very rare breed in this joke of a country, I also got to find out so much more about the workings of and stumbling blocks in the power sector,actual progress recorded, amongs others, there are good people in government, but the bad eggs want to cage them in their boxes.

The interviewers (Arise news) seemed somewhat professional, except a lady who kept displaying some sheer ignorance with her questions, uncle fash was quick to put her in check with each irrelevant question.
The highlight came when he was asked about his relationship with his supposed godfather and successor, he simply said and I quote (with the most warming smiles ever on national tv); "We're cool!" everyone laughed.

In sum, I pray he is given a second chance to complete the good works he has done in those sectors he represents, even if it means PDP comes Into power. More importantly, I pray he becomes a president someday.</sub>

Touché...
Nice summations

You are wasting your time. Atiku will be president...

I live in the UK, i dont know why i do not like this man and it is becoming glaring that this man is a fool. For him to read a newspaper editorial on the pulpit shows how religion has eaten deep into the skulls of Nigerians. Buhari died in UK, his body was exchanged in same UK. This man is an old fool.
I have several of his video where he will boast about God has given him mandate to destroy boko haram. And the fool will be praying prophesying from his church in ota. Theses religious goats are the real problems of Africa.

Today, Onitsha metropolis includes: Ogbaru, Ogidi, Idemmili, Ogbunike, Nsugbe, Obosi, Oba, Nkwelle etc. The city has kept expanding and expanding because it represents to the SE what Lagos and PH represents to the SW and SS respectively.
