naptu2: It's a seaward defence boat.

In a move to consolidate the gains of building the first indigenous warship in Africa, the Nigerian Navy is to commence the construction of a new 38 metre Seaward Defence Boat (SDB). The Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Dele Ezeoba has given his consent for the commencement of the warship. In the same vein, the design for the project has been approved by the Naval Headquarters.

Rear Admiral James Boer, who made the disclosure of this tremendous feat yesterday at the NNS BEECROFT parade ground, during the first anniversary of NNS ANDONI- the first indigenous warship built by the navy-said the international certifications by relevant agencies have begun. It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan had on June 1 2012 commissioned a 31metre Seaward Defence Boat at the Naval Dockyard in Lagos.

Admiral Boer, who is the Admiral Superintendent of Naval Dockyard Limited, added that NDL was in the fore front of technological breakthroughs and innovations in the Nigerian Navy. He further stressed that NDL is diversifying efforts into various aspects of activities that would include marine construction and fabrications in the maritime sector and the offshore operations of the oil and gas industry.

abagoro: Some of you act like all is rosy in Akwa-Ibom roads like we are not the ones using them. The road that links Uyo to East-West road is not better than these roads shown here true or false? Meanwhile this picture is from the Oron you asked me to visit.

abagoro: Akpabio has not constructed any single intra-community road . He has focused mainly on inter-community roads and major roads. What Rochas is doing is going further than just connecting communities but touching the inner parts of the communities. These kinds of roads are called NDDC roads and expected to serve limited traffic.

NIGERIAN SCIENTISTS LAUNCH ROCKETS
By J.K. Obatala
GUARDIAN NEWS
16 November 2008

OFFICIALS at the Centre For Space
Transport And Propulsion (CSTP), Epe,
Lagos State, have made a startling
revelation: Nigerian Scientists and
engineers have, for the past two years,
been building and launching experimental rockets – without foreign
assistance.

Coordinator of the Centre, Mr. Oluremi
A. Fashade, told The Guardian last
week that at least nine test-firings had
occurred. The rockets are launched from a testing range near the Lagos State University,adjacent to the Lagos Lagoon.

For the first time ever, Fashade, an
engineer, talked openly about the
Centre’s formerly top secret rocket
research, which is being carried out
under the auspices of the National
Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA).

Among other things, he said that the
Centre would, in time, graduate to
bigger and more complex craft, capable
of launching satellites and eventually
humans into space.

He said that the NASRDA was acquiring a new launch site on a remote island in
the Atlantic, to accommodate full-sized
space vehicles. http://beegeagle./2013/04/30/world-exclusive-made-in-nigeria-rocket-launch-at-the-centre-for-space-transport-and-propulsion-propshenry-a-beegeagles-blogger/

austinkenneth: Those ghost workers must have been employed by one of our presidents - Jonathan ,Yar'adua, or OBJ.

Apart from disengaging them, we need to understand the process that led to them being in the system in the first place and they should be made to refund all monies collected, all the pats ministers, HOD, etc should be held accountable

Phartymah112: I'll simply quit when i discover he's in Nairaland. Coz all the dude here are currupt in one way or the other

Abagworo: Akpabio cannot build industries. It is left for the Akwa-Ibomites in diaspora to come home and invest. Akwa-Ibom today is experiencing huge capital flight because of Julius Berger handling most of the contracts. More than 80% of the money leaves Akwa-Ibom to Lagos and Abuja. The vehicles and materials used in construction are bought from other States or imported while the high salary earners in JB live in Abuja, Lagos and abroad.

As a start he should try and increase local content at least in the inner rural areas to alleviate poverty.

playah P: This money is enough to fund buhari's 2015 aspirations.... If buhari is smart, he'd give up his junior commander!!
