President Muhammadu Buhari has on Thursday afternoon commissioned the longest flyover in Maiduguri the Borno state capital constructed by Prof Babagana Umara Zulum’s administration.The edifice, which is arguably the monumental threshold of the Professor’s administration was constructed at the cost of 4.3 billion naira in a period of 18 Months.
The once infamously traffic hold up Custom round about, that leads to the various axis leading to international roads linking the state capital to neighboring countries, will help in decongesting the axis.
“We can now conviniently fly the custom road without fear of holdup.” Mommodu a Keke Napep rider said.
Another Man who identified himself as Kahinde Ojo expressed his amazement at the quality and speed of work of the construction.Nobody believed this work could be completed within this period, I always use this road going to work. When work started and the news was saying it’ll be completed within 18 months, everyone was laughing and took it for a joke. But now the whole world knows Prof Zulum means business.” Ojo said. The president has also commissioned mega school at Kushari, a new settlement along Damboa Road in Maiduguri.
The President is also to commission an international standard Center for distance learning built by business tycoon Alhaji Mohammed Indimi at the University of Maiduguri.
Zulum, who made this known on Tuesday when he inspected the completed Custom flyover project in Maiduguri, begged residents of Maiduguri to give President Muhammadu Buhari a rousing welcome during his visit on Thursday.
During his visit, he said the president would commission the Custom flyover, 20km Custom – Muna dual carriageway and the Centre For Distance Learning, University of Maiduguri, all executed by the Zulum administration.
Zulum affirmed that President Buhari had initiated viable programmes which impacted positively on the lives of people of the state.
According to the Governor, Buhari has accorded priority to the restoration of peace and security as well as livelihood support to the people in the state.
He noted that Buhari had provided necessary support to facilitate the restoration of electricity supply in the state.
“The president deserves commendation for approving millions of dollars for procurement of weapons and other equipment for the military and other security services to enable them to execute the counter insurgency campaign.
"The state government is working to ensure speedy completion of the Maiduguri Gas Power Plant in March 2022, to ensure steady power supply to Maiduguri metropolis," he added.
Governor Babagana Zulum had in June 2021 asked the residents to show appreciation to Buhari during his visit to the state.
The governor in a broadcast had given reasons for the people to honour the President when he arrived in Maiduguri, though the visit was later fraught with demonstrations. Borno is the epicentre of insurgency war in Nigeria
GEEBITE: Meaningless overhead bridge emptying virtually no traffic in a low density area. These folks are building bridges when they are meant to be developing human resources.
I love the north... East is my Homeland.. Any one that has lived/worked in the north would know better that in terms of human relations.. it is the best place to live.. Bar insecurity.. the north is the real deal..
Let me just give one example.. When I graduated from University Of Maiduguri (Oldest Uni in North East 1975) .. when I was mobilized for service.. I started and finished my clearance one day (Tuesday) and reported to Camp on Wednesday.. when I told my fellow Corp members from schools in the east where I come from.. eg UNN.. FUTO.. MOUAU etc.. they we're shocked and didn't believe it.. They told me tales of how they use months to do clearance before the can collect their results..
Na we Igbos dey wicked ourselves but always quick to blame FG and accuse other tribes of hate.
Examples Yakpa.. anyone that reads this and want more life experiences from me should quote me.. I would give more ..

The Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has banned the distribution of food and non-food items to internally displaced persons, IDPs, in resettled communities. He made this known in a letter sent to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UNOCHA, which was obtained by our reporter and believed to be from the governor, as his signature was appended to the two-paged correspondence.
The letter reads : ‘The Borno State Government wishes to acknowledge and thank you all for your support to the internally displaced persons as a result of insurgency. ‘As you are aware, the Borno State Government is deeply committed to supporting our people to build resilience and support themselves out of poverty. ‘To this end, the government has committed to closing all official IDP camps in Maiduguri by December, 2021. Pat of this initiative is to empower people to begin to build back their lives,’ parts of the letter said. The government’s letter was understood to mean a shift from providing humanitarian support to empowerment, which will eventually see the resettled communities stand on their own. The government has earlier communicated its plans to close all temporary camps in Maiduguri by the end of the year. So far many have been closed and IDPs resettled. ‘In furtherance to this, the Borno State Government, after consultation with our communities, have decided that no partner organization, either local, national or international shall henceforth be allowed to embark on distribution of food and non-food items in any of our newly resettled communities across the state. Food distribution will only be allowed in IDP cams and IDPs in host communities for now. ‘In order to ensure coordination and reduce duplication, all new areas partners wish to start distribution of food and non-food items should first be discussed and cleared by the Borno State Government,’ another part of the letter said.

f*cking retard I believe igbos are product of incest,
Youngman911: BSC is mostly between 16 and 40k CAD depending on school. Your first search should be the course you want to study and schools that offer it. I don't know why you don't want to use your degree so I suggest you state why so one of the Gurus can best attend to you. The more you reveal the better. If you don't use your degree, you'd have a 4 year gap you can't account for. That will definitely create a problem for sure. Note that Your uncle has to have Well above the school fee amount + 10k because his dependents (Wife, Kids etc) will be considered when looking into your POF.
I hope this helps
is the 16 or 40k CAD for the whole program or first year
