OChimex: Never. Your super tucano is a flying moluwe, flew by untrained fools that will go bomb either fishermen or mourners... Dude, forget Nigeria is a country of 99 percent idiots... The country is depressing
The Federal Government on Monday, in Abuja expressed its commitment to engage with relevant stakeholders to boost power sector investment for economic development.
A statement by Mr Mohammed Manga, Director, of Information and Public Relations of the Ministry of Finance said that the Minister, Mr Wale Edun, disclosed this at a meeting with World Bank delegates.
The delegate was led by Dr Ndiamé Diop, Country Director for Nigeria and Ms Olu Verheijen, Special Adviser to the President on Energy, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
The meeting was in view to reaffirm President Bola Tinubu’s Administration’s commitment to repositioning the economy for the future of Nigeria. The minister said that the meeting aimed to discuss innovative ways to drive Nigeria’s power sector forward.
He said that the meeting also focused on World Bank-supported initiatives, which involved the Power Sector Recovery Operation (PSRO) and the Distribution Sector Recovery Programme (DISREP).
He said that the initiatives’ objective was to improve power distribution and management systems to ensure the economic growth of the country.
Edun said that key issues highlighted involved plans to roll out 3.5 million meters to enhance power distribution, 50 million dollars in funding for state solar plant pilots and infrastructure upgrades.
“Also, measures to support tariff frameworks, market reforms and co-financing the Transmission Company of Nigeria’s Performance Improvement Plan.
“This collaboration aims at strengthening Nigeria’s power sector, enhancing energy access, promoting economic growth and development.
“The collaboration also aimed at improving job creation as well as poverty alleviation in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration,’’ he said.
Diop, however, expressed its commitment to work with the Federal Government toward achieving the goals for the benefit of all Nigerians.
Floky215: And what if the politicians are running the country into the abyss just like what we have here in Nigeria now, what do the military do? Continue to sit down face their job and watch until things get out of hands and the masses pour into the street uncontrollable right..?
Clap for yourself..!! The military taken over is the best thing that happened to those countries..!!
Is the military not running Burkina Faso into the abyss now? So what next? Another coup?
Abee79: I started noticing the trend during Buhari's time. Certain public officers (especially CJNs) always carried that weird looking bag during their swearing in. There have been many speculations about the significance and contents, but no one knows doe sure.
It didn't start under Buhari, you only started noticing under Buhari.
Ojuntana: So you're saying Tinubu siphoning Lagos State tax benefit the people of LAgos?
So you mean druggie stealing government properties right, left and centre and converting them to personal property from bourdillon, to Ketu to Abuja etc benefit the people of Lagos?
So you mean Tinubu fixing his children in choice portfolio in Lagos is actually good for the people of Lagos?
But the brewery and Bank is useless and the people do not feel any positive effect from it?
Tell us how the coastal road will benefit the people from Lagos to Calabar. Tell us the places the road will pass through
When will the South south section start as promised by the minister? Shouldn't that be your concern as someone who claims he's from South south?
Ojuntana: If you think Obi did bad by investing state money in a brewery is family has stakes in, how much more the man you support that simply hijacked the state polytechnic and turned it to his family business thereby denying thousands of people access to education?
If you think Obi investing state money in a bank his family has shares is evil, how much more a man who siphoned state tax collection from both the rich and poor brazenly
A man who continued to collect governor's salary and allowances even after he left office is who you jump to support while vilifying a man who does not take any pension from the state coffers
A man who turned the Abuja liason office of his state to his personal house is who you defend while castigating Obi who lives in his personal house
I guess no one is making use of the brewery and bank after they have been constructed. I guess road users will pay VAT like beer and banking services consumers
I guess those who supplied building materials when the brewery was being built are from outer space
Like I said, common sense is parallel to you
So you're saying Obi fixing government money in a bank he has an interest in benefit the people of Anambra state?🤣🤣
So you mean Gbajue investing government money in a business his family has an interest in benefit the people of Anambra state?
But the Lagos Calabar road will be useless and have no positive effect on the coastal areas it will pass through?
Kenny9857: You are just too foolish and shallow minded This is how all you APC e-rat has been configured, to label and accused anybody trying to speak out an opinion contrary to what yours polithiefians principals are doing as someone from the East and I can see you foolish being has almost succeeded in dividing the country using tribal and ethnic bigotry...
What makes you thinks the person you are arguing with is not an Hausa or Yoruba man ? Because he disagree with the ideas of the project, does it mean the Federal government won't do what they want to do ? Stop this nonsense Mr Man and argue your case without using tribe you foolish being...
I just hope you are being paid well as an APC online miscreants sha.
I'm ready to bet my money on it, the guy is an igbo from the south east, no matter how you wail and shed bitter tears, it wont make me wrong about him.
Even you sef, you're a bitter obident from the south east like him. The road construction won't be stop, if you want to cry you can cry
Ojuntana: You usually write like someone bereft of comon sense
Moreover the breweryand Bank will directly and indirectly employ people and pay tax while none of that comes from the road after construction.
You mean obi fixing Anambra state money in a bank his family has an interest in has a positive effect on the people of Anambra state?🤣🤣
You mean obi investing millions of dollars of government funds on a brewery his family has an interest in have positive effect on the people of Anambra state?
But this road will be abandoned after the construction and nobody will make use of it
The people working on the coastal road are not Nigerians but aliens from far away planets
The people supplying the construction materials are not Nigerians but aliens from far away planets
Nigerians wont make use of the road when it's completed, it will be used by aliens from far away planets
Onewazobia: I agree with you, but pls look at it with the eyes of Nigerian economy and the stress people under go to end a living. Although, this deterrent can't be avoided to totally discourage people from Okada biz. All the same the government at LGA, state and central have not be sincere to the masses
You're not different from other clowns giving stupid excuse on behalf of Fulani herdsmen destroying farmers farmland.
techbro1: I’m talking about a purposeless road project and your discussion is Anambra and peter Obi. Truly, to see Yoruba man wey get sense na by connection. Off the road this this BS
A road that will enhance the connectivity and boost economic activities along Nigeria’s coastal region is what you call a purposeless road? You're so shallow
techbro1: As usual, the senseless discussion about Obi and the east. Never focusing on priorities. Again, if you were a right thinking person you’d see that this is an unnecessary project at this time. We have economic activities all over the country that have been crippled because of bad access roads. Just like your idols, you don’t know how to focus on what’s important
You keep on disgracing yourself with this your dumb comments
Is the government not working on fixing the economy?
Are you so daft to know inflation has start falling?
Are you so daft to know Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 3.19% (year-on-year) in real terms in the second quarter of 2024?
techbro1: See how silly you are? Because I’m not in support of this wasteful project that won’t impact the life of the average Nigerian I’m a South easterner? Is this how slow you are? Who said anything about land being sold? This isn’t even about landmark alone. Don’t you see how beach activities have been crippled because one man wants to loot the nation dry?
How can you be reasoning like this bro?
Is it not Nigerians that are working and earning a living from this project?
Is it not Nigerians that are supplying the construction materials that are been used on the project?
Is it not Nigerians that are going to make use of the road when it's complete?
How can you be this shallow?
How many average people in Anambra did Obi beer factory benefit?
How did Obi fixing Anambra government money in Fidelity bank benefit the average Anambarians when he was the governor?
Low IQ people like you will just sit comfortably in your one room apartment in the east and start spilling shits about projects you're ignorant about.
Dpharisee: You wake up every morning with so much bigotry in your heart, una don finish Nairaland with Igbophobia, you can't flog a child mercilessly and prevent the child from crying even if you feel your reason for flogging him is justified.
The FG is adjusting the route because of the public outcry against completely demolishing Landmark resort and losing investors confidence as they are doing same with MTN cable lines which I have to commend the Govt for listening to the people even though I am not an APC e-rat like you
There's no point in time the FG claimed they will destroy the whole landmark, it's just low IQ people like you that choose to believe fables
psucc: Why not conclude your post without the usual APC feature? Why can't you be honest ? The Hon. Minister of Works said they have diverted to the original plan which will no longer affect the Landmark as it would have been.
By the way, has work started in Akwa Ibom and Calabar sections as directed by the President? This project is likely a Lagos project.
But tell your Ogas at the top to "shame" critics.
This your shalaye is too much
Is landmark property still standing or not? Not an inch of his land was touched by the government
