Sincere9gerian:
Did APC promise extra 2000 megawatts or total of 20,000 megawatts?

Anyway, we're waiting!

Do you have a problem of understanding a simple comprehension-like press briefing? What is there is 2000 megawatts in the short term. The 20,000 could be in the long term.

Let's be patient. Naija will work!

Keneking:
Where is lalasticlala sef?

Great understanding of the left-overs of PDP and their 16 years of mis-rule.

You're beginning to come off as a comedian with your frequent use of "sef", "Jonah oooo" and clapping monkey.

This is the kind of news we ask of, not travel news, tho all na wash!

chesterlee:
Only God knows how many billions he will steal this time around


BTW he doesn't sign cheques...

chesterlee, gbenu buruku soun

forgiveness:
They should remember Aba- Uyo road, Aba - Port Harcourt road, and the rest. PL

Lagos Ibadan is even more motor able when compared to Aba - Uyo / Aba - Port Harcourt .........if you travel "Aba - Port Harcourt" you will understand why some Nigerians think the BIAFRA option is the best.

#there are many other very failed Federal Highways across Nigeria....that deserve urgent attention too

He said year 2002 was the last time the sum of N200 billion was budgeted for road constructions in the country.

.

His words: “The records that have been made available from previous budgets show that the last time Nigeria budgeted over N200 Billion in a year’s budget for roads was in 2002. It seems that as our income from oil prices increased over the last decade, our spending on roads decreased.

“As far as status reports go, the federal government budgeted N18.132Billion in 2015 and the Ministry of Works got N13Billion for all roads and highways in 2015, although it has contracts for 206 roads, covering over 6,000km with contract price of over N2 Trillion.”

‎However, Fashola stated that government’s ability to achieve connectivity of Inter-state roads would largely depend on capital spending in the 2016 budget.

He said it became imperative to pay contractors and get them back to work as soon as possible.

“Our short term strategy will be to start with roads that have made some progress and can be quickly completed to facilitate connectivity. We will prioritize within this strategy by choosing first the roads that connect states together and from that grouping start with those that bear the heaviest traffic.

“As at May 2015, many contractors have stopped work because of payment, and many fathers and wives employed by them have been laid off as a result.

“Some of the numbers from only four companies that were sampled, suggest that at least 5,150 workers have been laid as at March 11, 2015; and if we realize that there are at least 200 contracts pending, on the basis of 1(one) company per contract,” he said.

Analysing the unfortunate situation, Fashola explained that, “If each contractor has only 100 employees at each of the 200 contract sites, it means at least that 20,000 people who lost their jobs can return to work if the right budget is put in place and funded for contractors to get paid.

too late for dat na. you are older than methuselah

Stop writing out of sentiment and limited knowledge.

BIGERBOY1:
With a budget of over 6 trillion nothing is impossible. Am impressed by the government prioritising 2nd Niger bridge. Let my brothers in the east learn to be patient with this government, note roads and bridges in the northeast have been devastated by the conflict there yet the government is prioritising outstanding projects before embarking on new ones. You won't hear northeasterners crying marginalisation.

At over 70 baba has got nothing to lose he's going to jail those jailable and do the works workable. Dazzall

Good one from Fash!..2016 is looking like a good year for Nigerians

all talk and no work...........? action action action

manutdrichie:
He is back with propaganda again
Lagos Ibadan Expressway was not awarded in 2002

Dumbo,read before u coment boy.

Keneking should be awarded as the most outstanding moniker that loves calling lalasticlala. Leave the guy alone na.

Back to topic, Igbos shebi una dey see Fashola in action.

Fashola is a born CEO.
Give him a responsibility and he sure knows how to harness resources (human, financial, material...) to deliver.

This is how governance should be with the people given insight into the plan of govt.
BRF will surely deliver
PMB will surely deliver
Nigeria will surely be great again

If Buhari can build second Niger bridge history will be fair to him. This is the bridge Obasanjo promised to build and failed. Our greatest hope Jonathan also failed. I am watching.
