naptu2:
The origin of the Lekki refinery

I have heard talk that the government wanted to build a seaport in the Lekki area since the 1980s. I also heard talk that the government wanted to build an airport in the Lekki area since the early 1990s (at that time some people were debating about whether the noise from planes would disturb people that lived in Lekki Phase 1. They didn't realise how big Lekki was).

However, all this talk was just that, talk. Nothing concrete was done about these ideas, in fact, the government did not even make public announcements about them, they were more like rumours among people that were close to government.

Nothing concrete was done until Bola Tinubu became governor of Lagos in 1999.

The Tinubu Administration proposed a free trade zone in the Lekki area. It would have a deep sea port, an airport, a refinery, a metro rail line, new residential estates, its own power plant, etc. Governor Tinubu travelled to China to attract investors to the project and most of the companies that were involved in building and running most of the industries and facilities at the free trade zone were from China.

And what assures you the same demand that put off Dangote won't put them off. And even if it comes the people of Ibeju are already reaping their reward while olokola r still hoping

Ttalk:
The progress of Lagos State has been a long journey, if your state governor has been redundant and you are now attracted to the development of Lagos State to claim it belongs to all then you are on a long thing.

What you'll fail to know is that we will colonised you, compel to to speak our language, change your culture, and reduce it to inferiority, you will abandon Isiala for gbegiri and ewedu, and you will get possessed that you won't be able to travel home for the festival.

But note that your dead won't be bury in our cementry, we would ensure your place is turned to burial ground for those who spend their lives in Lagos

Before you know what hits you, you are already an adopted son of Lagos.

The choice is yours, that is what we wanted, and will judiciously execute it as a Lagoisian from generation to generation. We don't shout we use our brain

Your just typed trash here and you don't know. Quite a pity.

Is that the Oniru behind Tinubu?

Explicit and interesting. Kudos

sangresan:
A complete dunce on Nairaland. Mention those free trade zones licensed by Obj and show us links to verify your stupid remarks.

A simple Google search will educate your ignorance instead of exhibiting how daft you are on Nairaland. That asides, state governments cannot by law establish free trade zones without it being licensed by the federal government.

Yes. He was his ADC at the time.
