Model Primary schools

At the inception of his administration, Governor Chibuike Amaechi placed a state of emergency on Education and took over the responsibility of Primary schools from the Local Government Councils. The Governor came up with the idea of building new model Primary schools to the standard of the United Nations and obtainable in developed parts of the world. With a target of 700 Model Primary Schools, the Amaechi administration has completed 500 across the 23 Local Government Areas of the State. They are equipped with ICT facility, modern library, science laboratory, football field, basketball pitch, volleyball pitch and Nursery playground.

Model Secondary Schools

24 model Secondary Schools are being built, 1 in each Local Government Area, well structured and fully equipped with modern day educational, recreation and boarding facilities with standard housing for teachers, these secondary schools have grossly been referred to by observers as Universities.

Governor Chibuike Amaechi has consistently regarded power as key to economic development of the State, thus his administration has worked fervently in the areas of Power Generation, Transmission, Rural electrification and intervention schemes to achieve 24 hours power supply, while negotiations are on with the Federal Government to facilitate distribution which constitutionally is the sole responsibility of the Federal Government.

On Power Generation, the government targets 715 megawatts of Power to ensure adequate power supply in the State. 460 mega watts have been completed, 130MW at Trans Amadi, 150MW at Omoku, 180MW at Afam. 75MW at Onne is still ongoing while another 180MW at Afam is underway to make a total of 715 Mega Watts.

Songhai is a center for training, agricultural production, research and development of sustainable agricultural practices.

The programme was conceived when Governor Chibuike Amaechi visited the Songhai Centre in Porto Novo and was impressed with the model and decided it would work well in Rivers State.

Work began at the Rivers Songhai farm in 2010, before then a group of 105 young men and women drawn from the 23 Local Government Areas of the state had been sent to Songhai International Centre in Benin Republic for 18-month training in various specialized Agric and Agro based areas as well as develop entrepreneurial culture.

The farm project sits on a 314-hectare land in Bunu-Tai, an agrarian community in Tai Local Government Area of the state. It is about 20 times the size of the Songhai model — an integrated farm which combines livestock, arable farming, fisheries, snail farming and poultry.

Why do you nitw1t find it very convenient to spew lies?
The national chairman of APC is John Oyegun, a christian from Edo state whereas the national chairman of PDP is a Moslem from Bauchi. There are about 14 PDP Governors in the North and they are all moslems.

When did religion even become a factor for good governace? Compare the achievements of APC governors and PDP Governors

Fasahola built the Lekki-Ikoyi cable link bridge? A suspension bridge, the first of its kind in subsaharan africa.

Amachi is building a monorail in portharcourt. The second of its kind in Nigeria after the one still under construction in Lagos.

Now, tell me, which PDP Governor can build a monorail? Which PDP Governor can build a suspension bridge.

Zamfara state is PDP; Taraba state is PDP; Ebonyi state is PDP. Tell me what those PDP governors built in their state

This thread reminds me my days of atheism,never agreed with anyone about things of God

Never knew I had a spiritual problem which I always refuse to accept its reality whenever it occurs,always looking for a physical excuse to hold onto when ever it manifest

Till it got to a stage I could no longer disregard,I had to run for my dear life,I ran to mountain of fire for back up

The truth of this matter be say,I'll never blame any atheist because I used to be one,I only see them now as people who never had any encounter with anything spiritual,although some of them do but refuse to accept it like I used to

anonimi:
So YOUR problem, well defined, is that you THINK that these cement "cartels" must have "sat down" to reduce prices.
Does that sound REASONABLE even to yourself

And how did you know that Glo, MTN, Econet did not sit down to "jointly agree" on reducing price? Okay, I get it, since they did not invite you to witness their sitting down to decide their prices (the way Dangote & BUA invited you this time around) then it did not happen
What a genius you are

A BIG FAT LIE!!!!! PROFORCE fully owned by a nigerian who has the majority shares and some philipinos. Dicon is in K.D and a joint venture with nigeria & Israeli Coy. I hope you've been well schooled buddy.

Sheggy13:
But the guy u quoted was talking about universities only, and u had to call him mad. That's not cool, especially u been a lady. Even considering number of higher institutions in general, Enugu state cannot still hold a candle where Ogun state is. No hard feelings towards u tho, just stating the obvious. Have a good day.

Sheggy13:
He's right. It's only a mad man that won't make inquiries and confirmation before calling some other persons mad. We're talking about NUC accredited universities and not some mushroom universities that NUC blacklisted the other day. These are the NUC accredited unis in Ogun State: FUNAAB, OOU, TASUED, Covenant, Redeemers, Babcock, Crawford, Bells, Crescent, McPherson University and Southwestern University=11 in all. Help me list the ones in your Enugu and Lagos Mr. Mad man identifier. Even Osun state has more compared to your Enugu. Next time desist from thinking with your anus. U can visit this link for free education on Universities in Nigeria.
