The Federal Government has spent N50million to procure Earthquake Monitoring Seismograms to enable it fully monitor ground disturbances in Nigeria.Director General of Nigerian Geological Survey Agency, NGSA, Dr. Alex Nwegbu, at a media conference in Abuja, yesterday, said the equipment would be installed in the six geo-political zones.



Nwegbu, who made a presentation on the recent earth tremor in Mpape, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), maintained that there was no cause for alarm and called on the residents not to panic.He explained that a team of geologists and geophysicists was already on a fact-finding mission, saying that earthquakes tend to be concentrated in particular zones.

The director general maintained that many of such earthquakes have been reported in Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Cameroun, though largely unsubstantiated, had been in parts of Nigeria, adding: “Earthquakes could be generally defined as a sudden vibration, sometimes violent, of the earth’s surface that follows a release of elastic energy in the earth’s crust.”

He stated that a sudden dislocation of the crust generates this energy when the built up stress exceeds the strength of the rock mass, adding that it is called seismic waves, noting: “This preliminary investigation, therefore, associate the tremor to quarrying activities in the area, which involve intense blasting that led to stress accumulation. Mpape is yet to be established.”
He, however, said the agency was keeping a close monitoring team to have a detailed survey in the area, involving reflection seismic and gravity measurement, to fully unravel immediate and remote causes of the tremor.

Good

K

Picture of the Equipment

So until now, the country wasn't monitoring seismic activities and movement?

This is quite shameful.

Commendable

Things unheard of in these paths are now happening, the world is living on borrowed time due to man's activities.
A narrow mind can't comprehend, indeed time is running out.

I am happy to have buhari as my president

Na Now Day Break For Una. ..

This is commendable

Make I see the picture of the thing na...

The ma on the left tho....is he holding back a protein fart while faking a smile?

End times

another name for the money has been pocketed. what an easy cashout.

is the device only meant for aso Vila or the all of abuja?

Geologists don get work

Ok

The man on suit thinks otherwise hence his look.

Hahahaha. So dem no get before

Hahahaha...Nigeria my country, the biggest joke that ever liveth amongst the comity of nations. What a shame.

And one brother like that on a related thread was trying to be clever with me by half, reeling out big sounding words and supposed acronyms for agencies saddled with such responsibilities not knowing they were empty edifices where rogues are congregated in the guise of carrying out some professional job.

He was even telling me they had a standard procedure of communication. SPC indeed.

I wonder where they quickly purchased the types of equipment from within 72 hours (hopefully not fro Alaba Market or a guise to embezzle some money) and when they'll get operational.

Bufoons

Enjoy my siggy

Good

Another huge amount of money gone down the corruption hole.

I'm waiting for those booking space to say something so I can hear

Haha
Another way to embezzle money

Me when it's a thread on Buhari's government

These guys are just giving out generic causes of the tremors. I've been expecting to read comments from the FIELD GEOLOGISTS

If there are faults, what are their names? which formation is hosting them? what's their age? any lateral equivalence in nearby states? These and many more are questions that needs to be answered. Buying a siesomogram is not the issue, the problem is manning the equipment and paying the personnel who are likely supposed to be residing at the base stations.

If you apply as a geologist now to FEMA one m0ron will ask if you've PhD

Medicine after death, we are not ready in this country for anything,na only to dey steal money,pursue woman we sabi

The APC federal government.... Hardly a people to be believed, sorry. This is what happens when someone constantly lies. Show us the equipment sir.

Nawa

Exactly!

Some rogues will just share 50 million amongst themselves like that. Thanks to the tremor.

FG and lai Muhammad am not understanding, where the picture of the seimogram?
