Roads are the basics, stop praising governors for doing their job. Let's talk of empowerment, building factories managed by private consultants,.mass skills training of youths and handing over of tools to start to earn a living. Akwa ibom is an oil rich state...how much is their minimum wage...this is what the governor should be doing. Roads are basics, and only take like 20% of state revenue...the rest money should be used on the people.

oga are you asking questions or you’re concluding?
Meanwhile Udom alone built 22 industries in Akwa ibom plus Ibomair etc so relax and unlearn to learn ok

This is impressive, the govt should try to populate the place at once to prevent bandits from occupying's the bushes and kidnapping.

They can rent girls from IMO state and guys from AK to speedily populate the area ASAP.

we don’t have bandits in Akwa ibom , little or no kidnapping cases etc

Which one be sexy road again? road na road abeg!

which state are you from ?

The only state blessed with real government in Nigeria.

Akpabio try. Udom De continue but they really need to industrialize. I reach uyo this december post up for uria..ik pa. Cus na there I live for school( uni u yo) Na so keke de the town.

The boys just De para me non stop cuz no work..bet naija everywhere. Omo leave. No were like Lagos. No be as you see things for picture them be for reality. Am a proud akwa bomites so we say it as it is..

Did I forget to mention the number of churches.

pretydiva:

You were making sense, but your last paragraph shows how myopic you are. Try get sense

I think his from IMO state

Corporate2020:


Have you seen any Lagos indegene sleeping under bridges in Akwa Ibom or working as housemaids in Akwa Ibom? It will never happen. The children of butchers will never eat bones.

A question I aske remained unanswered, thereby making you sound so unintelligent. You don't deserve my mentions.

Throwback:


You are obviously speaking out of ignorance.

I remember seeing roads like this during Tinubu's tenure.

He started the cobble stone roads allover Victoria Island in a road resurfacing drive, to help cater to the beach soil condition in that area. I remember Akin Adesola Str, Adeola Odeku Str, Ajose Adeogun Str as some of those touched. I remember how marveled I was at the quality of the job done while internship hunting in 2007.

On the mainland, he also revamped Oba Akran Road in Ikeja which was my daily route to school in the early 2000's, Oregun Road (Kudirat Abiola), Ijeshatedo Road in Surulere where I sat for my JAMB UME in the early 2000's also, are some of the many roads that featured in his achievements leading to re-election in 2003.

Funny you should mention Power as a priority.

Guess who tried to overdo himself to ensure there was private power generation in Lagos when others still waited on the federal government?

It was Tinubu who had that foresight and engaged Enron to come into Nigeria to develop Power generation for Lagos State, but the Obasanjo/PDP led federal government would not allow an opposition party Governor ridicule the federal government by succeeding where they had every intention to fail. So they frustrated the initiative.

Tinubu had many firsts that went beyond roads and power, but also simple governance initiatives like returning all missionary schools siezed by the 1979 to 1983 class of democratic state governments and better manage the true public schools, to initiatives and ideas about State vs Federal Government power separation.

Lagos State under Tinubu became the template to be copied by other states who needed to setup State agencies to better deliver and manage public service to the citizenry.

All the mentioned and more are the reasons why I wholly believe that Nigeria should give the city boy a chance to lead Nigeria.

Aje...

There would have been court cases and public outcry if schools were seized. I never heard of any such in all the five UPN controlled states

The military at the helms of affair from 1984-99 were no fan of politicians and would have returned schools back to owners in such situation.You need to do more findings to know that financial and other arrangements were involved before schools were handed over.

They’ve been doing this , since I visited about 11 years ago. “Sexy roads inside villages”

That’s how villages become cities. Begin with the roads.

you are on point

Sure this is my hometown etinan, but there is no street light, only at ekom iman fly over

Akwa Ibom roads are as beautiful as most of their daughters.
Sen Godswill Akpabio started the trend.

Tinubu is a Disaster in waiting...God forbid we have a Buhari pro max.

If we talk dem go say he draw road map, the road map wey carry both old and new agbero along, leaving tax payers to the mercy of CDA

otipoju:
I dont remember seeing anything like this during Tinubu's tenure.

Good paved Roads are the bare minimum that government should provide for its citizens.

Power is next on the priority list.

Shame no catch you
See road na
Make we no lie
Akwa ibom is the finest state in Nigeria.

Why shame go catch me ni? Did I condemn the road? Or did I argued that akwa-ibom is not the most beautiful state in Nigeria?
Ogbeni learn how to understand quote before u quote someone. Thanks

otipoju:


Before Tinbu there were tarred roads in lagos. Calling him the architect of modern lagos for facilities and roads that existed even before he was born forgetting that Lagos was once the seat if the colonial government and capital of nigeria until 1991.

It is what makes people like us laugh. Because we cannot see the government impact on the environment. Lagos is not modern in any sense.

There is no steady power, no pipe borne water into homes, no new state of the art hospitals built by government, no new University, no mass housing estates like Jakande LSDPC, no new stadium or recreation centers, no 4th Mainland bridge....in spite of the big IGR and Federal allocation.

If dem manage build one road...they will start tolling people for it even after they have paid their tax.

Brother forget all the propaganda ojare. Nothing spectacular about Lagos .

The one thing Tinubu is good at doing is converting public owned properties to his own use. He is an expert on that. A stupid thief.

thanks bros.they have been building ikorodu road,from agric bustop for ages.whenever it rains,its a big mess.sanwoolu is a big failure.you dont rate a government by road anyways cos any idiot can construct road,its not their money.no sound policy by this government.they have not been able to solve the terrible traffic.i know electricity is on the exclusive list but the state can also help like what the akwa ibom government is doing. no water,everybody is drilling borehole.most government officials are corrupt,no institution to curb their excesses. insecurity nko,see end sars period,the touts that came out destroying properties have not been caught but their faces are on social media.with these i have mentioned among many shows this government have failed terribly.with the revenue lagos generates,it deserves better

maxiart2:
Akwa Ibom ayaya

yes oo

Akwa ibom is clean but the people are suffering
Akwa ibom government should focus more on human empowerment and development rather than on this infrastructure that's nit reflecting in their indigenes lifes

See Governor na......my own na only statue erection e achieve for 8yrs weh e do still dey drag to b president!! Wish Nigeria was a saner clime u 4 dey prison all ur lifetime for the huge funds you syphoned

Corporate2020:


It has to be. What is the residents population of Akwa Ibom? With 95% of Akwa Ibom indegenes working as house boys and house girls in Lagos, tbe state should be the cleanest on Earth

Tell me your state.
Be proud and tell me.

sogodihno:


Is your brain working at all? Has Tinubu govern Akwa-ibom state before? Why has hate for Tinubu damaged your brain?

Go and sit down!
You are very stupid, imagine this tinubu rabbis attacking somebody who air out his view.
You just jump into abuse without reading through the lines of this thread just because his view doesn't favour your god tinubu.
Just getout of this thread.

Instead of you guys to focus on yourselves you are talking about old fools politicians who doesn’t have you guys time
