FG Requires $166bn To Meet Nigeria's Transport And Energy Needs – Rotimi Amaechi by NaijaCuzin(op): 1:54am On May 24, 2016
The Federal Government would require 166 billion dollars in the next five years to meet the country’s energy and transport infrastructure needs, the Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, said.



The minister made the disclosure at a public hearing in the House of Representatives on a Bill for an Act to Repeal the Nigerian Railway Corporation Act on Monday in Abuja.

The hearing also focused on a bill for an Act to provide for the establishment of three national transport commission.

Amaechi revealed that the Federal Government and General Electric had concluded arrangements for the commercialisation of the Lagos-Kano railway project.

He explained that the measure was intended to guarantee efficiency, competitiveness and profitability in the sector.

While declaring the public hearing open, Yakubu Dogara, the Speaker, House of Representatives, expressed optimism that if the obsolete Act of the Nigeria Railway Corporation was repealed, Nigerians would enjoy cheaper means of transporting their goods.

He said Nigerians would also enjoy quality services and the incessant damage to roads by heavy duty trucks would be reduced.

The sponsor of the National Transport Commission Bill, Rep. Ncholas Ossai (Delta-PDP), said that the bill would curb revenue loss of about 30 per cent accrued to the federation.

According to him, the loss is due to non-integration in the transport sector.

Go to Islamic Bank or ask Dangote to divert the 70 percent balance of his tax to finance Amaechis proposals.

Sometimes I think Amaechi does this for the kicks he gets.

You can begin to tell us where you kept all the money you stole in Rivers State. Who knows, we might even have some balance after using the $166bn

When Federal Government wanted to save money during Jonathan, you, Fashola and Oshiomole went to court to stop them.
You campaigned for money to be shared.
Now you have shifted from State to Federal government and all of a sudden, its Federal government that requires all the money in Africa.
Re: FG Requires $166bn To Meet Nigeria's Transport And Energy Needs – Rotimi Amaechi by Nobody: 5:05am On May 24, 2016
In otherwords, Fed Government would not meet our transport needs. Amaechi has just given himself and this government an alibi for failure. We didn't expect anything less from a reputed infrastructure failure asked to head an infrastructure based ministry

Yea that's very possible, but minister sir, I think ur blueprint should be visible for us to see, because I need to check this government, following u step by step, my vote most not waste

Give us a better Nigeria, we give u another four years in charge of Nigeria, that's a nice deal

The way some comment either show their level of comprehension or they dont bother to read it. To elaborate:
(1)he didnt say he is looking for how to get the money, he said it will REQUIRE. Meaning the amount of money that will be required to be spent on it for the next five years
(2)This money is what will be needed to be spent in the next 5 years for the infrastructural development of the country.

Please people lets critisize constructively

When I said that Buhari can never succeed with the likes of Amaechi, Fayose, Audu Ogbeh, Danbazzau, and the likes they thought I was a joker. Just imagine this coffin-headed thing analysing when he is yet to perform with the huge funds voted into his Ministry. Nigeria is a huge joke......this is what you get when you make a public dancer a Minister of Transport....

Another stomach infrastucture pension fund for some 10% of the entire population if that fund is finally released unto us..

Dear Amaechi, if you find a way to harness and access that $166bn, please and please, share it among 170 million poor Nigerians.. And not among those who are already wealthy..


In other news, I have a honda bullet 1998 model for sale (very good condition) in akure,ondo state.. Please quote me me if you are interested for more info and enquiries..

Note: the car is legit and not a scam.. So, scammers stay off.. Interested and real buyers only.. Test drive before payment...

You mean Obasanjo should return his loot for amechi and friends to loot? No way allow OBJ to hold unto his loot and answer to God in the nearest possible time.
