Northern Nigeria is known to be the epic center of insecurity, terrorism and violence.
The is usually the first thought in the minds of the average Nigeria especially those who live In the south.

One would doubt if there are any from of development in the North which can match with that of the south especially in the aspect of infrastructural project which the North in general is not known to have many.

We keep hearing about the second Niger bridge, Lekki Deep Sea port, Lagos Light Rail, Dangote Refinery etc .. all of which run into billions to construct and are all in the south.

One would also wonder what the North have to show in this regard.
It is for these reason this thread analyzes the Biggest Construction Projects in Northern Nigeria today.

The finance minister should release a statement on this because it isn't from Ngige's Office salaries are paid..

Plus was the finance minister not aware of the agreement reached between the FG and ASUU

I'm surprised everyone is venting their anger on Ngige.. the Finance minister should be called out her ministry supervises the office of the Accountant general.

Why is ASUU hell bent on collecting salary for 8 months they didn't work.

wirinet:
Without tail transportation, a country cannot industrialise or develop. Roads are cheap to build and very expensive to maintain. Cars and trucks cannot be used to move huge quantities of materials and people.

Nigeria literally doesn't have rail transportation yet we have quite a lot of industries..
Those industries didn't consider rail before coming to establish.

What industries need is stable power.

Roads are not expensive to maintain..

MrMcJay:
The continued detention or release of Kanu will adversely affect Obi's chances in and out of the South East.

Release him, wahala.
Don't release him, wahala.

Am telling you

If they release him now..

All those who switched from biafra or death to obidient may switch back..
Except kanu is a hypocrite.. he will definitely continue is no election in biafra land..and UGM will enforce it..

If he is not released..UGM fit scatter the SE during election..

Wahala don wear short knicker

Worldliness:
Sanwo-Olu did not initiate the rails project.

He doesn't have to..
Besides... Sanwo Olu..initiated the Red line rail project which is longer than the blue line only the blue line was met at no less than 50% completed ..
Sanwo Olu also paid for the trains for the redline which are now in Lagos And 2 sets of electric trains for the blue line

The part he is constructing cost no less than 70bn..

The cost of wike's flyover combined will never match the cost of the blue line not to talk of combining it with the red line..

The economic impact.
Contribution to growth, development and ease in transportation can never match

No state governor's project beats sanwo olu's flagship project in just under 4 years..

Wike's flyover have little benefit and impact .they are merely to deceive naive and gullible folks..

Flyovers are something Lagos has been building since the 1970s..no big deal..
With all the flyovers Wike built plus the existing no. of flyovers he met.. the total is not up to the no. of flyovers in Lagos state

Antoeni:
Gov Wike is The Most performing Governor in the whole of Southern Region , Beat even Sanwo- Olu in performance, Go & Verify

Sanwo olu has not completed his first term

How does wike beat him by building flyovers of around 2bn..
Sanwo olu is constructing rails Worth 70bn plus..there is no comparison.

Don't be confused..sanwo olu rail project in 4years beats anything Wike has done in 8 years combined

abobote:
Nigeria emergency service is zero, especially in a mega city like Lagos.
Imagine this kind of fire, without any fire service in sight

The picture could have been taken just secs after the fire started.. fire fighters cannot fly or disappear

moneyissweet:
Nonsense

What have they achieve with the previous ones.

Bas.tards

The north east is much safer now than ever...
When last did you here about Boko Haram.
iswap and bandits are what is being handled and are fading away little by little

The Nigerian Air force military strength


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P41-ak0dls

Hmm

The military must not Bleep up.
We don't have war planes, Fighter jets and ISR planes for nothing.
The terrorist are likely in the bushes of close proximity to the city

The Air force should do the needful. Deploy ISR planes

Meanwhile see the Nigerian Air force strength along with all of their war planes and jets.

Deploying 1/4 of it arsenals to the FCT should deal with these threats

stepaside2:
Not surprised that PHC International Airport did not get any bidder. Only 2 or 3 foreign airlines operate out of that place. More needs to be done to attract back the International traffic that Airport once enjoyed. How will an airport concessionaire make money with very little traffic activity?

Nothing can be done..

citizens need to use that airport more.
more passengers means more airlines will operate there
low passengers mean low airlines

good one from Lagos state

Are white weddings compulsory

even the western people only do white weddings as it is their tradition.
we black people will do our traditional own come add white one join.

as for me I'm only consigned about the traditional wedding

white/church wedding should rest.

The aircraft is only exclusive to the governor of rivers state and who ever he approves to use it.

besides.. this mean that rivers state government has two jets..
the same Wike purchased two helicopters but were seized by customs,,
even Lagos state has no aircraft exclusive to the governor

since when did state governors in any country begin getting their own jets just like the presidential jet of a president

Lakside1955:
It doesn’t look like bullet train at all, this people still giving us 1987 vibes

bullet trains for metro and intra city transport?

NAF needs to fill in it loopholes meanwhile

fxexperts:
You can imagine people like the fool I quoted below.



Oga your mumu never do. PMB and Lai mohammed spill these trash, lies and blame game and a zombie like you decided to gulp it whole into your head, without any research. Just like Fela sand Zombie who only hear watin them want am to hear, zombie nor dey think.
For your information Crude was never average closed to $90 during the last 16 years of PDP rule you refering to. during obj reign in 1999 crude sold for $20 per barrel and he never complained. Party and genereation of complainers that is what you all are.

crude averaged $90 during GEJ whose administration was the last..

OBJ had high crude oil production and low pricing... but during his tenure you cannot compare the demands for Forex to that of today.. you cannot compare the value of imports as well. go back to where you get your analysis online and confirm. this things are not juju or magic.

you could have layed out your points without insulting.
It shows how irresponsible and how more of a tout you are.

government stealing crude or not.
APC or PDP

the point is we do not earn enough forex to meets demands
we do not meet our targeted earnings simply because when prices are high production is low and vice versa.

there were times when fx were so much that CBN begged banks to come and buy. Soludo can relate because he was CBN governor then. Nigeria didn't experience high fluctuations in oil prices.

check the charts the very worst fluctuations many might describe as oil shocks were seen in this current administration

should I also add the fact that the refineries are dead and this has been the same since OBJ so you cannot blame one govt for killing it rather you blame all for not reviving it.

when oil prices dipped to as low as $30 dollar just months after buhari became president. the CBN was living off whatever had been saved during GEJ times. now the reserves are drying up despites demands going higher. the CBN has to take drastic steps to weaken the naira in order to attract more dollar to get the country going.. this worst thing the CBN can do is to allow the fx reserves to dry up totally.

any government coming in has to address one thing first. end fuel importation..fuel imports sucks 15% of our reserves. when you add petrochemicals and fertilizer. you move close to 25% . Dangote is making his investment. govt should follow him up and end petroleum imports first.

addressing any other thing other than this is not realistic. put people 10x smarter than Einstein in Aso rock .. if fuel imports are not addressed first. naira will continue on it free fall.. the fuel subsidies we are paying which is going to reach N6 trillion this year..you think the money is paid in naira?.. it is paid in USD.. when Okonjo Iweala tried her best to challenge this because politicians have used this method to steal USD from Nigeria.. Okonjo Iweala lost her mother in the process and eventually gave up..you think the issue lies with PDP, APC or LP..

no presidential candidate has admitted this and emphasized on this. some are shouting emi lokan the rest are giving statistics about other country no body bloody cares about..

it will take us decades to reach levels of production required to foster growth that Peter Obi keeps blabbing about..
factories cannot be established in one day and start manufacturing... before we can get the level of industrialization that will end importation by 10%. we are talking of no less than 10-15 years if the right things are done..

but we can save 15-20% of our forex..when you add petrochemicals and other bye products as much as 35% can be save in fx spendings. if we tackle the refinery issue as it is a matter of urgency. 5 years is too much to achieve this.. be there shouting APC and PDP.. politicians are the same..peter Obi was a member of PDP that stole $12bn in the name of power during OBJ time.. a member of Apga as well whose hands are not entirely clean in anambra.. anambra was not made heaven on earth when peter Obi was governor..even Obiano did better than Obi by far..real anambra people will confirm this...he also has leaks and corruption cases (pandora papers) same with agbado and Atiku...

they are all the same.. the thing is to select the lesser evil

Mayeldah:
Same APC and Buhari that were singing since 2015 that oil sold for $100 and GEJ did not nothing with it are now crying that despite price increase subsidy and oil theft has gone up.
There is a saying that a child that blame his father for not owning a car will grew up on day to understand reason it was difficult for his father to own one.

Visionless leaders. PDP even tried small, you see this APC, always blaming everyone else for their woeful performances.

PDP did not try anything

oil production averaged 1.8mbpd during their time with oil averaging $90-$100

in this current regime

at a point oil production averaged $1.6mbpd and prices were around $40

when prices rose ..production drop..

today prices are averaging $100 but production is 0.9mbpd

there is a difference..
also those years with PDP.. nothing like covid 19 or russia ukraine palava

the truth is every country is feeling the heat.. ...

go to ghana ..they have reached a point that they are now seeking bail outs

Munamoqel:

the international terminal building has been abandoned

I was once told that the Nigerian army is equiped to fight a civil war that was way back in the 90s.

All this show of airpower or naval power etc is rubbish when a group of turban wearing and slippers wearing men are occupying local governments and terrorizing Nigerians from the North to the South
