No electricity in Ekpan Area. It comes only for few hours in a week and that is it.

Monogamy:
Nice one from FG

This are all glaring projects not GEJ started this, that all on paper



What did Pdp do with all the loans they took during their wastage 16 years? Anything to show for it plus oil price was at it's peak

GEJ did a lot including appropriate pricing of gas. Without appropriate price regime, nobody will invest in gas. Liquefaction of gas is expensive but profitable.

Reference:
Totally agree. 100,000 running Kaduna state?... doing what?. He can cut that figure down to 25,000 while deploying technology to bridge any gaps. The problem is there are MDA's for everything under the sun just as at the Federal level. If Nigeria is properly structured you don't need more that five to seven items on the exclusive list covered by ministries, the rest can be handled by Commissions which are essentially private partnerships of which everyone is paid according to performance. No government liability there.

Transportation, Petroleum, Communications, Works & Housing, Sports, Tourism, Science & Technology amongst many should not be government businesses but government regulatories, government refereeing only and Commissions suffice.

If I was a governor I would reform my state's tax system and end blanket rates. I will rather collect targeted levies that are project or sector specific for exclusive items and sell specific bonds for PPP's.

I agree with you 100% and I agree with the governornor, 150%.

Let someone earlier said, this pruning should be done across all states and the MDAs of the FG.

They should increase salaries!

The same Julius Berger that completed the rehab of Abuja Airport Runway in record time? The same Julius Berger that is building 4 Flyovers in Rivers State and they are being commended.

The FG should pay them as agreed in their contracts and they will complete the works.

The reps are looking for means of making money.

agitator:
You people with all this garbage mindset.

Bonny in Rivers State has 24hours electricity and all buildings including shanties have power, because they use prepaid meter. Nobody has time for you if you like pay, if you like don't pay. Nobody has bypassed their meters.

How many homes and shanties in Finima have meters? Someone is paying!!!

midnighter:
Now this is the comment I was looking for. Please I am curious, what great achievement did the guy accomplish that you people were dancing for him when he came back to Nigeria?

Somebody said something about scholarships but I want to know more. What is so great about the dude after stealing how many billion

Before him and after him...no one like him in governance performance. Words on the streets!

Every part of the state felt the Odidigborigbo of Africa!

marvin906:

I tire o...this Warri wey we dey so!!

olaolulazio:
How close is this man to Lie Mohammed?

Very very close...same party!

Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State Wednesday cheated death, missing a hit by Boko Haram, which attacked his convoy on his way to Gamboru-Ngala for a political campaign.

The governor, who confirmed the incident to THISDAY last night, said his convoy ran into an ambush between Dikwa and Gamboru on Tuesday evening, saying he was only saved by God.



“Two cars next to mine were hit, killing a soldier and two politicians,” he said, adding that one of the dead was “an influential politician in our place.”

Boko Haram had been a torn in the flesh of the people of the North-east, particularly Borno State that had borne the brunt of the insurgence that escalated in 2009.

Although the President Muhammadu Buhari administration had claimed the insurgents had been degraded and were no longer capable of holding positions, there had been a resurgence of deadly attacks on military formations in the state in the last four months.

Late last year, Shettima visited Buhari in Abuja with Borno leaders to plead for respite.
Weeping like a child, deprived of his beans cake, the governor appealed to the president to save his state and people from destruction.

Tuesday night, he himself, was, as he put it, was saved by God.

The APC have been telling Nigerians that they spent the last 3.5years completing inherited projects. How come they turn around to say the PDP did noting in the last 16 years?

In the event to discredit others, they expose themselves.

amazingspiderma:
A book is an eternal document of knowledge. If every Nigerian leader had to write a book about their tenure, Nigerians will be better informed about the running of Aso rock by different people. Gradually other people who held sensitive position will follow suite. Imagine if Emir Sanusi Lamidi, Buratai, Kachikwu, Iweala all had their memoirs available in a book for all to see. Nigerians can better understand them and make better choices in the future. Writing a book is better than newspaper comment or political statements. It is exposes the writer to scrutiny by those who have contrary opinion while it makes his motives more clearer. It gives far comprehensive account of minute details from the author's point of view. Africa needs to start understanding the value of books. Books have changed nations and will continue to play a role in humanity.

Let me go to Jumia and order my own copy...haters can go and die!

Shettima keeps avoiding that fact that he, against security advice, made the girls to sit for an examination that was not cleared for security by the security forces! He should tell the world why he acted against security advice.

Butterflyleo:
If you had a modicum of common sense you would pause and carefully analyse the entire scenario and not be bigoted.

The presidential elections are fast approaching and then suddenly we are having all manner of killings everywhere. Something that wasn't so 2 years ago is suddenly now a daily occurrence.

Some persons are stirring the waters of hatred behind the scenes and watching people like you reacting in ignorance to it while further giving them the results they want as they muddy the waters of Nigeria with their songs of ethnic Intolerance.

Sir please!

Even if FEmi or PMB must make comparison; this is not the right time to make such declarations.

Secondly, people are behind this? So ''catch'' the people doing this. Catch them and deal with them.

Let me ask you a question....in your mind what solution do you think Government should deploy to stop these killings? Just name one!

fero007:
Shell office at Ogunu has started operations, I don't know of edjeba office

Please which of their fields are they coming to manage from Ogunu? Are you sure you are not talking of the Project Office for Desicon as they are doing a project for Shell at Tunu.

Please where is the Shell in Warri right now?

SBG04:
If this was Jonathan's era, they would have spent N1billion to publicise the fact that they're redesigning the Airports while actually doing nothing, or spending the money to buy bullet proof BMW cars. Plenty of work is going on in Nigeria today without noise and with zero corruotion.

You don't know Nigeria!

georgecso:
That is why the Daura President will still be my no. 1 choice come 2019.. He got lots of guts to seal up loopholes our so-called hero of democracy could not. The Daura President implemented the TSA and BVN to prevent looters from siphoning our treasury..

Lies!

Donald Duke actually left Cross Rivers State poorer!

BankeSmalls:
Where are the almighty state and federal SARS

If na to arrest boys walking with their babes, they will be champions.

They are on the roads searching students' bags!

One thing about this GEJ...is the number of books so far written by eminent Nigerians!

Truth be told...GEJ will be in Nigeria's political consciousness for a long time!

Respect to the most democratic President Nigeria ever had till date!!

seunmsg:
NOI was the finance minister in that period. If there are questions to be answered about how the revenues of the country was mismanaged, she should be the first person to be questioned. I really don't get why you think she should not be invited.

As the chief finance officer of the federal government, she should have advised the president on the illegality of withdrawing funds without the appropriate budgetary approval from the national assembly. The president doesn't have the powers to order the release of funds not appropriated by the national assembly. She knew very well that the money was going to be stolen and that was why she crafted her letter to mumu Jonathan in such a manner as to absolve herself. In saner climes, someone like her will never be allowed any where near a public office again. I really don't get why any objective person will be defending this woman.

Who approved the budget with which the NNPC is currently paying "under-recovery" of the PMS now consumed in Nigeria?

Who know this one for our Delta State!

Delta State is religiously PDP...QED!

For every 1,000 Bags of Rice seized; close to 500,000 bags reached its destination....Nigerian Homes!

When will the power be restored? The suffering is just too much!!!!

Nice Work!

When will Warri, Uvwie, Udu (Jakpa Road, Omimi Link Road, NPA/DSC Expressway up to NPA New Port) be remembered?

We still buy fuel at 180ngn/litre in most parts of the country.

Any updates from the government officials superintending the Ministry of Petroleum Resources?

Seeing street lighting returning to Warri metropolis, Uvwie, Udu areas, I rate Okowa well!

I must commend the road rehabilitation works but much more needs to be done, especially in the urban areas of the state...Asaba, Sapele, Ughelli, Kwale, Ozoro, Oleh, Oghara!

Okowa should give serious attention to flood management projects in the urban centres of the state, especially Asaba and Warri.

I wish him goodluck!

I concur!

This means that the Fuel Scarcity will continue to bite harder in Nigeria!

LASSA Fever is now rising to become a National Epidemic.

Lassa Fever Spreads to 10 States, Kills 16 People
January 25, 20180201

107 suspected cases recorded in 2018
NCDC activates emergency operation centre
Senator Iroegbu in Abuja

The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has confirmed the spread of Lassa fever in 10 states across the country with 107 suspected cases and 16 deaths recorded so far in 2018.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NCDC, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, in a statement yesterday said following the increasing number of Lassa fever cases reported, the Centre has activated its Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) to coordinate the response to the outbreak on behalf of the Ministry of Health.



Ihekweazu said the EOC has deployed Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) to the most affected states-Ebonyi, Ondo and Edo.

According to him, the RRTs are supporting the states in response coordination, contact tracing, case management, risk communication and strengthening infection prevention and control practices.

He said the emergency supplies have also been sent to treatment centres in all affected states.

Ihekweazu said: “Since the beginning of 2018, a total number of 107 suspected Lassa fever cases have been recorded in 10 states-Edo, Ondo, Bauchi, Nasarawa, Ebonyi, Anambra, Benue, Kogi, Imo and Lagos.

“As at January 1, 2018, the total number of confirmed cases is 61, with 16 deaths recorded. Ten health care workers have been infected in four states (Ebonyi – 7, Nasarawa -1, Kogi -1 and Benue -1) with three deaths in Ebonyi State.”

Speaking further, the NCDC boss said the Centre is collaborating with the World Health Organisation (WHO), Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, African Field Epidemiology Network, United States Centres for Disease Control, University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB), Alliance for International Medical Action (ALIMA) and other agencies in supporting the response in the affected states.

He noted that Lassa fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic illness, transmitted to humans through contact with food or household items contaminated by infected rodents.

Ihekweazu explained that person-to-person transmission can also occur, particularly in hospital environment in the absence of adequate infection control measures.

According to the NCDC boss, health care workers in health facilities are particularly at risk of contracting the disease, especially where infection prevention and control procedures are not strictly adhered to. He however, stated that Lassa fever can be prevented through practicing good personal hygiene and proper environmental sanitation.

Preventive measures, according to him, “include storing grain and other foodstuffs in rodent-proof containers, disposing of garbage far from the home, maintaining clean households and other measures to discourage rodents from entering homes.

“Hand washing should be practiced frequently. Health care workers are again reminded that Lassa fever presents initially like any other disease causing a febrile illness such as malaria, and are advised to practice standard precautions at all times, maintaining a high index of suspicion. Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) must be applied to all suspected cases of malaria. When the RDT is negative, other causes of febrile illness including Lassa fever should be considered.

“Accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment increase the chances of survival. Family members who are providing care for patients with Lassa fever should take extra caution.”

In addition, Ihekweazu encouraged the states to ensure safe and dignified burial practices for patients who die from Lassa fever.
To this end, he said the National Guidelines for Infection Prevention and Control as well as Lassa fever case management has been developed, disseminated to states and are available on the NCDC website for download
He said NCDC remains committed to supporting all states’ public health teams to prevent and respond to public health threats.

What is happening? The government should rise to this National Malady.
