He is donating whereas the Rivers state Fire service lack functional fire trucks. All the Fire stations, Amaechi built in various parts of Rivers state are lying comatoes.

If not for the IOC's fire service that always come to the rescue during fire incident, I wonder what will be the fate of Rivers state.

Let's pray they don't embezzle everything

You people put those so called leaders in. If they are not performing, to the detriment of you and your children, drag them out and stone them

We didn't put them there. He bought his way in with the tacit endorsement of INEC. In Rivers state our vote barely count.

You sound knowledgeable about this but you missed the first noticeable feature of the vehicle. It is a MAN Truck...not a Mercedes Benz as you claim.

5m every month? To maintain what exactly?

Thief!

That is a Mecerdes Benz (Rosanbuar)
Fire Tender. Price tag depends on the capacity and capability of the Fire Tender.
N60m - N112m

Maintenance cost

1. Servicing every 6 months -
Engine oil - 35 litres = 30k
Oil filter/ Water separator/ Fuel Filter = N20k
ATF - 6k

Total - 56k

2. Other Technical faults that can gulp up N1.7m at a go is the FR- Module, however FR-module can last for 6 - 15years without issues.

I can confidently tell you that the maintenance cost of this new brand Vehicles will not go beyond 500k within the first 1 - 2 years of proper usage.

The N5m every month is for what?
5m × 12months = N60m.
In 24 months = N120m enough to buy extra 2 or 1 more fire tender.
Lol.... Corruption will eventually kill this country.

Note - If this vehicle is not a refurbished vehicle, then with proper operation by competent people this vehicle is expected to go 2 - 4 years without any major fault.

Because a new Mecerdes Actros vehicle is not beans.

Also Note: it is an emergency Vehicle it does not ply on the road everyday only when the need arise.

I do constructive criticism, counter me with facts, don't quote mean without facts else thunder will fire you idiot in advance!

If you are docile and have no brain to think avoid my post.

Does that include snorkels?

I remember that the FFS got new fire equipment some time ago and they were being deployed across the country. I am trying to track the snorkels.

No sir. The snorkel is in Lagos.

Wike pledges N5m monthly FFS for fire trucks maintenance

Port Harcourt, Aug. 12, 2021 (NAN) Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers has pledged N5 million monthly to the Federal Fire Service for the maintenance of firefighting trucks in the state.
He made the promise during the commissioning of one modern firefighting truck, Basic Life Support Ambulance (BLS) and one water tanker on Thursday in Port Harcourt.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola had approved the deployment of newly acquired firefighting trucks to Federal Fire Services (FFS) in states to complement efforts of states firemen.
The Governor said that the monthly donation was also to buy consumables to ensure the sustenance and smooth running of the newly commissioned trucks.

“ We will give N5m monthly and it is not to be shared among yourselves.
“It is for use to make sure the vehicles are maintained.
“Our money is not to service other states but to service the people of this state.
“Whatever we give for the service of the vehicles, use it here.
“Once there is a fire outbreak and we hear there are no consumables, we will stop the funding and return the vehicles to where it came from,” he said.

He expressed concerns over the safety of lives and property as he pleaded for the trucks to be judiciously utilised for the interest of residents in the state.
Wike also stated that the state government was ready to equip the state fire service with two utility vehicles but he was unable to comment on the inclusion of the fire service in the state security council.

He however, said that he was concerned about the maintenance of the vehicles by those in charge of ensuring it’s proper utilisation.
“ The problem we have now is that will those who ought to manage this trucks and vehicles carry it out for the benefit of the people.
“ There might be situations of outbreaks and the equipment might not be around because it might have been hired rather than used for the interest of members of the public,” he said.
He commended Dr Ibrahim Liman, Controller General, FFS for the equal distribution of the modern trucks to states in the country.
Wike said “Thank you for not playing politics but doing the right thing and not relying on belonging to the same party before carrying out what’s right.”

The FFS boss assured the state government of his commitment to monitor the federal and state fire services in the state and make sure the promised monthly funds were utilised.
“ The consumables which includes: chemicals, diesel and auxiliary equipments are very expensive so we appreciate the gesture of the Governor.
Liman said the Minister of Interior has promised to deploy more fire trucks on or before the end of 2021.

He said that the deployment of the trucks was to improve firefighting and enhance service delivery in the state and country at large.
The CG on behalf of the state fire service had earlier requested for the allocation of two utility vehicles, recruitment, sponsorship of personnel on trainings and inclusion of the service in the state security council.
