AnonyNymous:

Ohh. I think the word you're trying to say is maintenance.

Since I have been on NL, this is the 3rd time they're delivering trains. First when I first registered, they had the ones from Canada. In 2014, a next one from China. And now this.

The whole thing looks like a Ponzi scheme and some big scam to keep stealing money. The fat fvck in Lagos looks like a gluttonous kid and I won't trust him with money cos he is going to spend everything on food. And you have got the unseen pilfering hands of Tinubu lurking somewhere.

NgcoboP:
if only Tinubu had not partnered with the illiterate in Abuja .... Lagos state doesn't need Abuja

its only an illiterate DAT insults d number 1 citizen of d country

lalasticala should do the needful

Kingsley10000:

He will, at the moment he is eating pepper soup snake and malt

@ OP, it is Light rail Train. please take note.

I swear these Afonja people don dey go far. Obianno over to you.

Anoruo:
MAINTANCE! MAINTANCE!! MAINTANCE!!!

Lekki ikoyi bridge is the most beautiful and most sophisticated bridge in Nigeria and it remains so and still shining today because of dedicated maintenance.

Even Facebook CEO and on if the richest individuals in the world jogged on that bridge.


Lagos state is not any other state in Nigeria or the FG.

my governor should emulate this development.......we are not alien to modern facillity in anambra

Grundig:
Unless I'm informed otherwise, One thing I dislike about this project is that it is a single carriage rail line. And For me, that is not good enough. Nonetheless, this is a laudable adventure.

What do you mean by a single carriage rail?

Takes too long to build developmental projects like this. Maybe every little would have counted better if Fashola and others stopped pocketing N70+ million for websites.

Not hit 30 yet, but at this rate our grandchildren would soon meet us still trying to fix up our lack of infrastructures.

It's good regardless rail is coming to Lagos. More needs to be done, especially with Lagos population. The transport options available are currently a nightmare.

Lagos is really developing to a mega city.



While my brothers from the south east have refuse to go and develop their own states.

The bridge is like that because it is a private property. There are too many nonchalancy when it comes to govt. Owned properties.

Thank you. MAINTENANCE I am supposed to say.

Tell us more about the sophistication of a cable stay bridge sire? No doubt it's the most beautiful

In as much as I applaud this development, I would also advocate for a sustainable maintenance culture.
Lagos is setting the pace since 1645.

Anoruo:

Lekki Ikoyi bridge is public property built with taxpayers money and it belongs to the people of Lagos state.

The state did what sensible and responsible governments all over the world by privatizing and concessioning maintenance of that bridge.


Having steady funds for constant maintenance is one of the reasons why they tolled the bridge in the first place..

Most government properties like MMA and Railway should be privatized or privatize maintenance...

PaulIdu:

Sophistication regarding that bridge and the obvious difference between other bridges in Nigeria is self explanatory..

How is it even possible for them to develop their own state when they think they own Lagos and other places outside their neglected and unproductive states.

They spend more time hating and and crying over other states that they pay zero attention to their own useless and incompetent governors.


When was even the last time they posted anything meaningful or projects from their states?

You only see them coming out to hate and spew rubbish when other people post projects and developments from other states.


They are eternally cursed.

Please wake me up when they renounce the monthly almajiri begging bowl rounds in Abuja to share Niger Delta oil revenue.

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct
15 NOVEMBER 2013






Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that [size=14pt]the states had requested for $2bn[/size] to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

Anoruo:

When was the last time YOU maintained, repainted, refurbished, upgraded the fittings etc in YOUR house, church, mosque, school, business place etc
Why should OUR government that reflects our aggregate VALUES do something that we do not appreciate, value or do on our own?

What happened to the

- huge N30 billion IGR raised monthly
- federal allocation
- loans

This is just another SCAM and fraudulent corruption scheme to enrich JagaBandit and his minions like the Lekki concession brouhaha.

Ayekotoo:
The Lagos State Government is set to go to the capital market to float a new N87.5 billion bond to buy back the concession rights of the Lekki- Epe Expressway from the Lekki Concession Company, LCC.
The Lagos State House of Assembly had on Tuesday approved the buy-back of the concession right from LCC, paving way for the government to take over the road and toll collection.

The Lekki-Epe Expressway has a contract sum of N50 billion while the LCC has 30 years concession rights under the Build, Operate and Transfer, BOT, system, that will enable the company recoup its investment plus interest.
The N87.5 billion bond to be floated in the capital market will enable the state pay off LCC and take over the construction and management of the road and collect toll on it as well as address shortfall in the state's internally generated revenue, IGR.

According to Governor Babatunde Fashola in a letter to the State House of Assembly for the approval and an amendment to the Appropriation Act 2013, "the proposal for further amendment is largely predicated on the need to fund the acquisition of existing concession rights and toll revenue benefits held by the Lekki Concession Company (LCC), the concessionaire for the Eti-Osa-Lekki-Epe expressway.

"This will effectively accelerate the transfer of ownership of the road to the state, leaving the state with wider policy options with regards to that important road infrastructure." He added that, "we also need to restructure our borrowing plan as the N30 billion World Bank Development Policy Operation, DPO II, will no longer materialise in 2013. In effect, we will need to issue bonds totaling N87.5 billion this year, instead of the N35 billion originally envisaged, in order to cover the shortfall in internally generated revenue and the delay in disbursement of the DPO II, so as to be able to finance the acquisition of the concession rights and take control of the toll regime for the benefit of our citizens."
Answering questions from the lawmakers, Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Ben Akabueze, said the decision to acquire the concession was for the interest of the residents of the state.

The commissioner explained that part of the plan by government for the review of the agreement with the LCC was to pay them off in order to take full possession of the road.
Akabueze noted that government had already committed about N10 billion to the funding of the project which took off in 2004 billed to cost N50 billion.
According to him, the state government would now determine how much to be paid by motorists as toll on the road instead of allowing the concessionaire to fix prices when and how it likes.

Commissioner of Finance, Ayo Gbeleyi, also told the House that under the agreement with the LCC, the concessionaire possessed the right to increase tolling on the road at any time, saying that the government had been notified of a 20 percent increase in the tolling and another five percent increase next year, adding that when the company is bought over, this would no longer be the norm.

The State House of Assembly also approved the N7.5 billion supplementary budget the government asked for. The current figure approved by the House through a law to amend the Appropriation Act scaled up to N507.105 billion from the N499.605 billion approved on 2 January, 2013. This means that the addition is to be sourced through bond issue while the initial budget figure has also been re-ordered to provide enough money for the purchase of the
company.
To attain the new figure, the House reduced the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in the 2013 budget by N22.5 billion. It also reduced the External Loans by N30 billion and added both figures to a bond issue requirement now standing at N87.5 billion.

Furthermore, it approved N7.5 billion addition to the existing internal loans of N44.419 billion in the 2013 budget, making it now total N51.919 billion. The House also reduced the Recurrent
Expenditure from N229.729 billion to N214.729 billion while supplementing the Capital Expenditure from N269.876 billion to N292.376 billion.

9PBLIVE:
Cross River State is ready for the commissioning of the Calabar Monorail which is expected to be commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari on a soon to be announced date.

According to the State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade, the President’s Commissioning of the Monorail will be to mark his first year in office.

Speaking moments after a second test ride in the monorail, in Calabar the Cross River State Capital, Ayade said that taking another ride in the monorail was his own way of checking to ensure that the project was ready for commissioning before the President arrives the state.

Ayade maintained that with the kick-off of the monorail, the state’s economy would be boosted and many employment opportunities would be opened for the unemployed in the state.

On whether the monorail would be fully ready to accommodate the huge crowd that will flood the state soon, the Governor averred that, with the commitment shown by the contractor, he is optimistic that everyone visiting will not only have a smooth ride on the rail but a memorable experience.

I don't go back and forth with internet trolls.

Living in Akwa Ibom I don't think light rail really necessary right now like it was in Lagos. If the roads were paved everywhere it would be just as effective. Then bus services would be cool with me. Most places if it wasn't for bad road and traffic only 30-45 mins apart at most. Drive for an hour any direction you leave state. This is just my 2 cents so take with grain of salt.

The trains that could be good would be cargo trains. I would prefer us to finish port, airport, and improve roads.

[b]Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria, Lagos is been develop by all Nigerians, we can rant online and offline about Lagos but let us ask ourselves this question are we really in charge Igbos and Hauses control large chucks of Lagos economy, Dangote is building the biggest refinery in Lagos all the northern politicians, eastern and southern all have their investments in Lagos, and you believe if Nigeria disintegrate tomorrow they will just handover their investments to you go to Kano, Onitsha and Aba you hardly see yoruba investments over there, to me we had lost control of Lagos just like Kwara in disguise , you all heard what emir of Kano said the last time he came to Lagos, you all knew what happened during the last election in Lagos state, Igbos are now in house of representative in Lagos, even LGA chairman, and the numbers are growing things are changing, just imagine tomorrow if Igbos and hausas join and contest for governorship with one of the major parties your guess is as good as my, other southwestern states are nothing to write home about, we are hear making silly noise about Lagos and abandoned other western states to rot, we are experiencing pockets of crises in Lagos were these two major tribes chase and kill our people and nothing happen, I heard one guy making silly argument online concerning street urchins all over Yoruba land and he said they are future soldiers and I asked, the soldiers were so helpless when Hausas killed our people in mile 12 and militants invaded our communities in Ondo, Lagos and Ogun, let us stop confusing ourselves, if you traveled round Nigeria you will know southeast you are mentioning here is far developed than other southwestern states, Yoruba land doesn't start and end in Lagos, majority of the investments in Lagos belong to other tribes and foreigners, Eko Atlantic was bought and been develop by Lebanese, tomorrow we will claim glory, we can claim glory of Lagos off and online but we have lost control, for years now Lagos state governments has been begging FG to hand over most of FG's infrastructures in Lagos to her like trade fair, national stadium, TBS, and most of the barracks within Ikoyi, Ikeja and VI and Lagos promised they will build new barracks for them some where in Ajah, FG refused, that is one of the major problem Tinubu is having with current president, soon another crises will erupt in Lagos we will make silly noise and chaste beat, the major problem remain unsolved, they have test us and know knew we are cowards from Kwara case, our politicians and activists are all silent, OPC members are helpless, Fulani's are now in charge, most of our people are blind by hate to understand what is going on, we are blaming Igbo, Kogi guba tussle was another clear case, our people wanted to penetrate Kogi by installing Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, the northerners new our agenda and cut down Tinubu's plan, they are serious cold war going on, those who are naive will not understand.[/b]
