let hope they accept

oduastates:
Hand over all western region properties and powers back.
You can share the oil and leave us out of the mess.

Lagos -ibadan is in need of 4 extra lanes, - high speed rail and multiple toll gates to raise needed revenues.

Seriously we shouldnt be selfish,toll gate must return.It's enough to generate money to carry out road maintanance

Bolustic:
This is long overdue, I think a bill should be forwarded to the National Assembly in this regard, if a state is rich enough to construct and/or maintain a federal road, why should it be stop in the name of one exclusive law? Some death traps federal roads, particularly in the opposition controlled states, could have been rehabilitated since but the unhealthy rivalries between the centre and states delayed such motives.

At least, the common man will benefit at last.

then wat is the work of FG n why is it called federal road. Soon the will relinquish all their duties to the states n still not accept to negotiate for true federalism.

State Begs FG To Take Over State Roads

I imagine how lie Mohammed will sound if it were GEJ administration that profer this statement

Unbelievable. The states that hardly pay their workers salaries are now been asked to repair roads owned by the same Federal government that they(the states) run to for bail out. It does not add up. I think this government is filled with people that count their fingers before they add up.

STARGREEN:
Sorry... has it gotten to this stage? God bless GOODLUCK JONATHAN.

For blasting trillions and building no roads right?

now i understand why most APC stalwarts are called zombie.

Basic problem is oil prices have fallen down, so everyone has to bear some of the burden.

Increased taxes coming up next.

What's he talking about, States that' are struggling to pay workers their salaries

Pavarottii:
How rich can a state be, wen d FG is in control of the state reesources. Let d states manage their resources and den dey develop alll roads. Wats FG that has the highest allocation doing with the money it's making?

Simple!!!

I think that God is answering our prayers. We will surely get there.

Nigeria will be restructured and the enormous powers at the center reduced.

.....

Ballmer:
Please stop commenting as if you are mentally deranged. How do you justify the federal government that covert almost 90% of the revenue accruing to the nation yet can not maintain roads it's predecessor built and maintained. Why are some of you APC supporters so blind to reasoning because Buhari is the president. Please learn to draw the line for God sake people. because we desire a beta Nigeria or the ouster og Jonathan does not mea we should be blind to the glaring failures of Buhari.

Was just passing bye and then I saw this. Please which roads are you referring to?... which roads did the predecessor build and maintain?

Mynd44:
The federal government need to hands off Aebokuta expressway and Lagos Ibadan expressway.

I will love to see a fast train from Ibadan to Lagos (mainland then the light rail to the island while BRT to ither areas) passing through Ogun state. If it will take people 45 or 30 minutes non stop to get to Lagos from Ibadan, people will move out and reduce the population of Lagos and the hugh cost of housing.

Even without the train, a joint venture between these three states to build and toll that road would have seen it completed more than a decade ago. The FG has too much in their hands, they should hands off some things.

U made reasonable point

Allow the south to control their crude oil, and let's see how it goes... Stupid deaf president

NIGERIA IS ALREADY RESTRUCTURING ITSELF BY DEFAULT

Bolustic:

Stop being childish, I know you just wanted to get likes and shares from your ilks.

Right from OBJ's tenure, Lagos and other states have constructed and maintained roads belonging to the FG only to be reimbursed later. This isn't about PMB or GEJ, it's about you and I.

Get over the election loss, GEJ is over it.

Do you mean the states that are begging for handouts, which the FG bailed out?

SamMilla1:
While federal government do what?

Chop money.

What else is there to do?

Anticorruption:
Akpabio did wonders with federal roads in akwa ibom

if only the foolish former abia governor had allowed him to do that road linking abia with ikot ekpene

aka- nung udoe
uyo - itu
ikot ekpene to uyo
eket to etinan

etc

the question is how the FG will pay back n as wen due. Not to start harassing the state gov wen the ask for their money with DSS n fictitious lies.But the FG can take over the resources of the States.

speed99:
and you and your cohorts gave us non ssce holding - tough probing one whose punishment is non ability to see in the day. Isn't it strange intelligent people like you behave like this?

Abeg thank you. Leave d clueless people to continue saying rubbish. Typical example of their clueless president and party.

Who will manage the toll gate?

Rewind 1999, The toll gate in my state was given to a serving minister and I was told it was the norm then. Politicians hijacked it before OBJ removed them.

I suggest we really solve our monetary crises and also solve the fiscal problems we have. One sure way of doing that is by giving more responsibilities to the states/regions. The state can either construct the roads with tax payers money or concession them to foreigners who will now put tow gates.

Summary is Restructure Nigeria.

FG Should Also Beg States To Take Over Resources In Their States

The FG want the states to take over the repairs of Federal roads yet the same FG is still against restructuring. Isn't that absurd?

FG running from its responsibilities gradually, like a weak man dat cannot provide for the family. Despite collecting our N50 forcefully from our bank transaction. Soon they will force us to contribute to the FG. Apc shame

So states should do FG's job for them

This is interesting and I think it is high time Federal govt look into so called NURTW . This association collect Money from millions of commercial vehicles, keke Napep, Okada, lorries and other forms of transportation.

All sources of money they collect at every bus stop and garage, who is collecting the money and for what purpose. Passengers suffer high fare due to all this collection and still the money are used for nothing but chairman money, security money, etc.....

I will advise federal government to give construction of road to daily money generated from commercial transportation through NURTW.

I pity you... . Did you even read the body of the article

It isn't about GEJ but it is about the current clueless administration.

In the past state governments would work on FG roads in the knowledge that they would be reimbursed.

The states know that they will not be reimbursed by this administration, especially when there are noises that the FG cannot even fulfil its contractual obligations with its own direct employees.

The FG wants to divest itself of responsibility but doesn't want to hand resource control to productive states - does that make sense to you?

The FG can't pay salaries either. The FG hasn't dealt with insecurity and now can't deal with the roads.

At least the good states take care of their roads.

Until Nigeria stops relying on the resources of 9 states to subsidize the other 27 this nonsense will keep happening.

Sai Baba, now you can all see what I was saying two years ago - this man is not fit to run a bath.
