If she is planning to relocate, pls do all to encourage her to go for the training.
Truck drivers are well paid abroad and there is scarcity of truck drivers. I guess she may have been inspired by Lady Uzoma on tiktok who is a truck driver in the US. |

raymondFirstborn: Hope you know there's a clear distinction between a builder and civil engineer. Take note. Everybody must chop o. So a builder should come and certify the work of a civil engineer that designed the structural drawing ? |

I am going to speak from a professional point of view as an Engineer and somebody that has been building in Lagos State for the past 15 years.
The Lagos State regulatory Laws for buildings are more of extortionary than regulatory, this is the reason why people keep finding ways to bypass the laws.
There is a reason why developers keep avoiding the buidling permits and other permits in Lagos not because they dont want to be compliant but because of the tedious process, the bureaucasis and the unnecessary protocols involved.
First and formost building permits should be done by the Local governments as it is done in sane climes and not by one office in Alausa. It takes about a year before your building permits will be out that is if you "bribe" very well. Thats not good enough for businesses. Building permit should be out max three months. Some developers take bank loan to build, imagine taking loan for a project and the interest running for a year before commencement of the project.
When the construction is ongoing, Government agencies comes for stage certifications, you will think its actually to check the ongoing construction, but in reality they are coming to extort the developers or the house owners. Thats why developers can easily bribe them and achieve any sinister motive against their initial permits and approvals.
There's even an intresting situation I keep arguing with them. One of the requirements before a final certificate of complaince is issued on a structure is Builder's Document which must be provided by only a BUILDER not a CIVIL ENGINEER. I kept asking them why will a Civil Engineer erect a structure and then go and be looking for a Builder (somebody that studied building technology) to certify his job, thats absurd and crazy. I simply told them they just wanted to create jobs for builders.
The built industry MUST be regulated but the government has to be sincere, thorough and give it a human face. |

PHAYOL81: HiTECH hasn't finished the Lekki-Epe highway due to funding, not technical or engineering glitches. Don't always defer from putting blame where it should because of political difference. At least, you can see the pace the new work has taken already. As for Lekki-Epe, the road project is undergoing this slow pace because of all future roads planned to connect or go around it at the LFTZ axis at Ibeju-Lekki. The funding, the construction model and the plan are different. Remember, one of the best roads in Lagos and by extension, Nigeria as a whole was delivered by this same HiTECH. The APAPA-OSHODI-IYANA OWORO highway is one of a kind. Smooth, wide and durable. this is a road that consessioned, tolled and was making millions daily from the both tool gates before the end SARS and you are talking about funding? They made so much profit from the tolls that Lagos state government was forced to buy back the concession from them, and you are talking about funding? Do you think everybody is daft and poor in thinking? |

PHAYOL81: Every sane person supported the coastal project and anticipate its quick delivery for its benefits. Only BITTER Obi and Atiku alongside their supporters find excuses around so that such INCREDIBLE project doesn't come to fruition.
I think the Obong has a point. But the problem is, how many contractors can deliver such quality concrete construction like the HiTECH group which take the technology as their area of speciality? You will agree with me there ain't so many of them around. Which Yeye Hitech? Hitech that is yet to complete the Lekki Epe express way for over 15years now is a high quality company. Yeye dey smell. HITECH no even near Dantata and Sawoe not to talk of the likes of Julius Berger, RCC, MCC and the rest of them. |
