He should look into the national library too. Was there about 2 years ago and that place looks nothing like a library.

Building a new one in different location with modern facilities and technology wouldn’t be a bad idea because, the present location also doesn’t look good as it’s too crowded and noisy to host such an institution.

The new national library is located close to the millennium tower..I believe Wike plans to complete that as well

From the look of the pictures, what is missing is Maintenance orderliness of the center which is zero just like the National Stadium in Abuja or Lagos State....

Renovation means there are more facilities to be considered so the structure may need to be expanded, or that some parts of the building have wall cracks and looking old so some finishing works need to be done while an introduction of something new be done in the facades ..

Besides I don't see why Julius Berger should be involved in this issue as well, is it because they are paid in foreign currency 💲?


Julius Berger built that facility..there is no better contractor to call than the Initial builders..

what exactly should be overhauled at the centre?

Your own is to be asking illogical questions

Does that place look befitting for an international conference center?

The one in Anambra, gombe and Ebonyi are 2x better

Why can't a local contractor company be given the job, what engineering works do Julius berger do there that local contractor can't do.
Most local contractors are very useless..

The is not a you do trial and error with small contractors..give it to a reputable contractor and be assured of quality.

If they give your brothers to do and tomorrow it collapse
..you will still shout government..


The contractor that handled the road washed away in Anambra less than a month after commissioning is a Nigerian contractor

Ordinary renovation of a conference center, it has to be a "foreign company" to carry it out. When are we going to deliver ourselves from this self-imposed mental slavery??

Open your contractor that will deliver more than CCECC, JB and RCC combined ..we will give you the contract

A member of NASS during a session in the house mentioned recently that Nigeria should enback on importation of cement to break the monopoly of dangote and rabiu.

Most of the members make comments based on Emotions..

There is no scarcity of cement.. cement going up is not as a result of insufficient supply..

The big players just increased their prices cuz they wanted to..

Importing it will only cost Nigeria more problems with forex

I could even understand, if it was the BUA group dude, at least that bros get some sympathy for Nigeria...But you see Dangote?, omoh na full blown CAPITALIST to d core.., He thinks in pure profit & monopolistic terms

Person wey dey take risks and borrow heavy from banks to invest in a shit hole system...make the same person come get pity for you?


If e easy why are there so little competition in his businesses... its because they know the risk in there

Ask yourself for over 40 years Nigeria has been selling oil why have all the multinationals decided to drill for oil and sell raw.. why didn't they build refinery or you think refinery is restricted to government only..do you know the richest indian makes most of his money from his refinery..


Dangote took risk to invest 20 billion USD over 8 damn years..now he wants to begin selling ..make e come get pity for you? Dey play

Politics / Re: Tinubu Has Approved FCT's N1.1trn 2024 Statutory Budget - Wike by pocom16: 1:28pm On Apr 02
JAWBONE:
1.1 trillion naira for [b]Federal Capital Territory that is pretty much developed.[/b]What is Wike going to spend 1.1 trillion Naira on in one year?

There are other states and other sectors that need that money much more than the FCT.
The Ministry of Science and Technology in the whole of Nigeria has a budget less than 100 billion naira.
Ekiti State has a budget of just 159 billion naira for 2024. Almost the same amount Wike was given for personnel costs.

Tinubu has just handed Wike a settlement package for the role he played in 2023 and given him more money to prepare for 2027.

The same way he settled his son-in-law with FHA and 126 billion naira. He has been settling all his cronies since he took office.

We all know Tinubu is the grandfather of corruption in Nigerian politics but he should spend Nigeria's money as if there's tomorrow.

Lol..

This must be a joke..

Even that budget is small...bit atleast it can hell reduce the vast no. Of abandoned projects..

Presidential jet shouldn't be more than three

How many times do they use them in a month??


Those aircrafts are exclusive to the president and vice alone..
Senior military officers, government officials and governors actually use ..

Reducing it to 3 means those top ogas will inflate their travel expenses and someone distrupt their abilities to manage the country..

4 jets and 2 choppers is fair

Read and reread my comment or take it to your Primary school teacher to interpret it.

Tell us what HE Fr Alia is doing. You can cap that with pics, links, etc. That's how to defend your principal and not jumping from one post to the other accusing all of ignorance. How do we know if you don't tell us the much you know about Benue.

Stop the Killings, first!



The governor is Installing streetlights on every highway (state and federal) in makurdi.
Yes mediocre but imagine a whole capital not a single road have functional street lights..

The first flyover to decongest traffic at a major roundabout is under construction.. another is planned at a junction just before the river Benue bridge thay will serve as a landmark....again mediocre..but Benue is the only northern state without a single flyover bridge..

Politics / Re: South-East To Sue FG, Demands Creation Of 6th State; To Demand For Trillions by pocom16: 5:36pm On Mar 28
Cyberterror:
The south east don't need another state. They are already cheating other regions with their five tiny states that can collectively fit into one state in other regions. For example, the 5 states can all fit into Oyo state. Niger state can swallow those five states, five times. Igbos think they can outsmart others with this ridiculous demand of a sixth state, it is just a ploy to cry marginalization in order to get more patronage from the federal government. If there is a new state that needs to be created in Nigeria, it is only Southern Kaduna, at least to compensate the Gbagyi for taking FCT from them.
Kaduna is in the north west which has 7 states already..it is senseless to add another one..

Creating a new state in SE is only fair and just ..

It will help almost balance politics as there are 19 northern states and just 17 states in the south..

Plus..the question of creating states has absolutely nothing to do with land mass...

SE deserves another state between Enugu and Ebonyi
