It seems the word "Commission or commissioning" inflicts pains in some people's body. Because I don't understand why they're pained anytime Nigeria wins or try to win.


But I'm really enjoying their tears. cheesy
No one is upset about a road being commissioned. What is upsetting is the deceitful act by the Tinubu administration in commissioning a road that is still under construction. The government awarded a contract for a 750km road project. Instead of waiting for the project to be completed before holding a commissioning ceremony, the government, in its dubious manner, chose to commission just a few km of the ongoing project and misleadingly labeled it as "Phase 1.

This is nothing short of a scam.

Lol. Is it this bad? Tinubu has no concrete achievement after two years in power. We are now commissioning disjointed one carriageway of a road under construction and terming it phase one. The jokes write themselves.

If by his admittance, the Buhari government already paid 156 billion naira for the road, was the money forfeited to the contractor and re-awarded or should we say Buhari already paid a part of the project? Don't forget, Umahi told us Buhari was the best thing since sliced bread and went ahead to name the Ebonyi airport after Buhari but Buhari declined. Perhaps, he saw through the sycophancy unlike the one in power today who demands it.
AMINDA:
They are not "commissioning projects" though. How do you commission a road under construction? They should be flagging it off instead.
Well, it is good for an administration to like commissioning, even if the commissioning is in phases. If that is the motivation this administration needs to keep working, let's allow it as long as they are not commissioning already commissioned phases all over again. Hopefully at the end of 4 or 8 years with many 'commissionings' all the projects will be completed. They are better than administration that are always flagging off or signing memoranda up and down with nothing to commission.

You're the ignorant bitter one here, same bitter mouths like you said the second Niger bridge was a scam and will never be completed, Dangote refinery was a scam and will never be completed until 2030. Abeg Tinubu doesn't need your campaign, stick to your Twitter President.
The last rtme you called Peter Obi social media person, he garnered 6 million votes after voter suppression and rigging from the drug baron.

Your lord and saviour was beaten blue black in his domain.

Show pictures of the road that was completed and stop the grammar.

Y'all need proper education and Tinubu won't hesitate to do you guys that favor before leaving office in 2031.


Show me anywhere in the constitution where it's written that a road must be completely completed before commission. And if you're unable to provide that, then I won't be surprised why you're supporting that Agulu failure because he's far from being a scholar and that shows in his governance and Antecedents grin

No one claimed the constitution mandates roads be fully completed before commissioning, but it's fair to expect that public infrastructure should be functional and not just photo ops.
Calling for accountability doesn't mean one lacks education, it means one understands the importance of governance beyond slogans and ceremonies.
And regarding your comment on Agulu, leadership is measured by impact, not insults. Let's focus on substance, not smear
