That is a Chinese loan newly constructed roads

mtisTheQubit:
This guy keeps on popping on every post of abuja...Question, is abuja place of worship or what ?

It's a signature building, every city has one. Even when we finish centenary city that building and the tallest building that will be at the centenarycity will serves as a signature building to abuja. Just the same way burj Khalifa serves it's own for dubai and Eiffel tower serves it own for Paris

Mkenya2019:
Abuja has a long way to get to Mombasa..leave alone Nairobi.

Every thing is not about argument. I am sure you are so intimidated by those pics that's why you wrote what you wrote. In cleanliness abuja is competing with Kigali. In infastructure abuja is competing with cape Town .in terms of infastructure (they both share good roads, potholed-less roads, all round city pedestrian lane,all round city streetlight, brt , modern traffic light , underground drainage system, so many underpass, city rails and many more. Even that ghanians vlogger wode maya who was recently interviewed in accra by his fellow ghanian vlogger, said that among all africa cities he has visited no city comes close to abuja in infastructure and organisations , and the Kigali and abuja are the cleanest city he has seen so far in africa. Your miss trudy also said it with her own mouth that she prefer abuja's infastructure to nairoslum and that she has not witnessed any slum settlement so far. The mombassa you are talking of is a very,very old city vilage with so many unpainted and unrenovated old building. It looks like where a sewer rat will seek refuge when caught in a serious run for its life. Your mombassa cannot be compared with uyo. That's another city I can confidently say you should try and tell me if you would encounter a single pot hole, or roads without streetlight, or without pedestrian lane. Uyo only lacks skylines which something that it's has started gaining with africa first smart building at its CBD (THAT BUILDING IS THE ONLY AFRICAN Tower to ever meet the America "LEED" criteria). A wonderful city with quality street road from street to major road,a city with underground drainage system. Point of correction we are not and will never compare our pride abuja with nairoslum, it's a taboo. None city or village in your country can ever be compare with that well. Planned city , I wouldNT be surprised if your miss trudy had visited uyo and also said it's infastructure is also better than nairoslum. Just go and pray that we don't finish building centenarycity else you will forever remain in nairoslum and envy it's beauty and development when it sits at its right position with all asian cities.

Nigeria-China $70b Trade Volume gets Boost

Nigerian and China bilateral relations got a boost when more than 200 Chinese companies attended a three-day China Homelife Fair in Lagos.
The Chinese firms were on a trade mission to expose themselves to the country’s manufacturing environment and strike deals with state governments and others who desire to go into joint ventures.
ELAN Nigeria Chief Executive Officer and Project Coordinator of the Fair, Jude Chime, urged participants to leverage the meeting to explore joint ventures that would aid local production rather than importation, adding that bilateral relations between both countries were over $70 billion and can be more if properly harnessed.
Chime said the fair was organised to bridge the gap between Chinese manufacturers, who are seeking to expand their footprints in the country and the West African region.
According to him, some manufacturers are looking at backward integration in the production of certain electronic items in the country.
He said: “We have over 200 manufacturers representing China. The purpose is not to make sales, but to meet with stakeholders in the investment sector to explore opportunities on how to create an investment hub where manufacturing activities can take place.
“One of the companies from Shenzhen that is into production of television will be offering some Semi-Knocked Down (SKD) aspect of the television to start production in Nigeria.
“They will be meeting with some stakeholders to see how to exploit the project so as to bring down the production cost of television in Nigeria and in the West African region.”
Chime explained that the essence of the exhibition was to promote investment, noting that China and Nigeria had always had a great level of relationship in terms of trade and that he believes the exhibition will aid trade growth from the present level.
The project coordinator added that only the original Chinese manufacturers were the ones being admitted for the expo. The over 200 companies at the three-day China Homelife Fair were all manufacturers.
There were no middle men or traders, according to the Chief Operating Officer, Meorient International Exhibition Co., Binu Pillai, who noted that this year’s fair attracted more exhibitors than in 2018.
On the purpose of the fair, Pillai explained that the Chinese manufacturers were in Nigeria to deepen their investment, saying: “Last year, we had over 140 exhibitors, and this year there is about 15 per cent increase.
“The acceptance of Chinese products is increasing in Nigeria. Most of the exhibitors are here to deepen their investment in Nigeria and to see the market for themselves.
There are no traders at the exhibitors. We only have manufacturers here, who can negotiate the price and think of the best market penetration strategy,” he added.
Pillai continued: “Chinese businesses are looking for opportunities to come here and expand their horizon. We also want to work on that negative impression of substandard products associated with products originating from China.
“That is why we do not have either middle men or traders in this fair. There are a lot of electronic manufacturers, who are eager to come here to set up their factories to produce quality products.
We are hoping that before we leave, we will tidy up a lot of businesses and agreements for the good of both countries.”
Special Adviser to the Enugu State Governor on Small and Medium Enterprises and Investment Promotion, Anayo Agu, urged participants to take advantage of the technology that can be transferred to aid local production.
“We have told the Chinese manufacturers to start some local production as the days of importation are over, even as such practice remains unsustainable.
Nigeria is a gateway to many African countries and we have to position ourselves for local production,” he added. Agu, however, regretted that most Nigerian businesses are finding it difficult to think in the long term and change from the usual 90 days turn around.
He added that the only way to check unemployment, restiveness and insecurity is to provide jobs and opportunities for young people.

Buhari's Government Seizes Diezani's 2,149 Pieces Of Jewellery, Customized Gold iPhone, Valued At $40 Million
*Court orders forfeiture of valuables

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK JUL 05, 2019








Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the forfeiture of 2,149 pieces of jewellery and a customized gold iPhone, valued at $40m, belonging to a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The judge ordered that the items should be temporarily forfeited to the Federal Government.
The forfeiture order followed an ex parte application moved on Friday morning by a lawyer for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo.
The application, titled action in rem, had Diezani as the only defendant and it was filed pursuant to Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and other related Offences Act No. 14, 2006.
The EFCC said in the application that it found and recovered the jewellery and the customized gold iPhone "on the premises of the respondent," adding that it reasonably suspected that the former minister acquired them with "proceeds of unlawful activities."
According to the schedule attached to the application, the jewellery, categorized into 33 sets, include "419 expensive bangles; 315 expensive rings; 304 expensive earrings; 267 expensive necklaces; 189 expensive wristwatches; 174 expensive necklaces and earrings; 78 expensive bracelets; 77 expensive brooches; and 74 expensive pendants."
The EFCC said, "The respondent's known and provable lawful income is far less than the properties sought to be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria."
Following submission by the EFCC lawyer, Oyedepo, Justice Oweibo ordered that the 2,149 pieces of jewellery and the customized gold iPhone should be temporarily forfeited to the Federal Government.
The judge ordered the anti-graft agency to publish the forfeiture order in a national newspaper "for the respondent or anyone who is interested in the property sought to be forfeited to appear before this honourable court to show cause within 14 days why a final forfeiture order of the said properties should not be made in favour of the Federal Government of Nigeria."
The judge adjourned until August 23, 2019, for further proceedings.

This are the type of things I want buhari to continue. Let this retrieved money also be spent judiciously

Don't call mombassa a city. They have only show us a few junk of ugly low-rise buildings facing the beach and an animated resort that all. That doesn't qualify for a city ...let them show us mombassa road network. ...Hahahaha that's if the village has got a road
When nairoslum is still struggling with its annual dose of atleast 100km of roads out of the proposed 600km per year from the entire , is it now mombassa that will have a road.

Just wait and see they would post that mombassa terminal and the road that links to it and voila we have momobassa as a city. Bloody joker who derive joy deluding them self

SUFFERInSMILIIN:

Yeah he is...they are many of them like that

But I don't really watch he's movie...he doesnt usually feature in.my kind of movie

spendoon:
Do you even know some of those people doing odd jobs like gate men and mai shayi in the south are from Niger republic the problem is people mistake them to be from northern Nigeria they do the jobs here in the north

True. They also sell biscuit and beverages in small kiosk here in lagos

spendoon:
I believe by 2030-2040 Nigerian cities of Abuja and Lagos will be competing with the likes of Dubai while cities like PH,kano,kaduna,calabar while be competing with the likes of Johannesburg

No pls take calabar off that list they are also building a world class city. PH and the rest northern cities can do that comparism

vaxx:
There is difference between Niger Hausa and Nigeria hausa. The Hausa language is even difference though understandable just like Yoruba in Nigeria and Yoruba in benin rebublic. The northern actually know the diffrence and some of us who have spend considerable years in the North.

If you want to know how Nigeria take immigrants issue serious, you may need to visit seme border. The northern border is very porous and base on religious similarites with Niger which is very dear to the Hausa than nationalism, they care less about regularising them.

I know there is difference. I recently just discovered that when I mistook one Niger citizen for an Hausa man. They behave the same way so it can be very hard to decipher their true identity..thats my point

This is the only way to go. Let the infastructural development spread


El-Rufai launches ambitious Kaduna Renewal Project, signs MoU with CCECC

LAST FRIDAY AT 1:03 PM | NAN

In his speech at the event, the governor said it would be the most comprehensive urban renewal project in the history of Kaduna state.

Gov. Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, on Thursday in Kaduna signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) for the road component of the Kaduna Urban Renewal Project.

In his speech at the event, the governor said it would be the most comprehensive urban renewal project in the history of Kaduna state.


“These investments will improve our competitiveness, support economic dynamism and promote the wellbeing of our people. Similar projects are envisaged for our two other main cities, Kafanchan and Zaria.”

According to him, the Kaduna Urban Renewal Project is in response to the accelerated urbanisation of the state capital.


”Our state capital now straddles four local government areas: Kaduna North, Kaduna South, Chikun and Igabi. These metropolitan areas are projected to be home to more than half of the state’s population by 2050,” he said.

He disclosed that the project would make Kaduna a friendly home to its residents, a safe place to live in, equipped to support and promote the livelihoods of citizens.

”Kaduna city has grown tremendously in the 100 years since its founding. But public infrastructure in the city has not kept pace with the vast increase in its population.

“Neither has infrastructure followed its expansion into new districts.

“We acknowledge that the existing infrastructure is not robust enough to support the current population, let alone cater for the projected population,” he said.

He therefore said that the project would address the challenges that exist in delivering urban infrastructure.

“It is an accelerated, coordinated, integrated and sustainable urban renewal project that will position the State as a choice place to work, live and play.

”Along with ongoing social sector investments in education and healthcare, concrete upgrades in housing, transportation, energy systems and other infrastructure will create jobs, improve the welfare of our people and enhance economic activity,” he added.


According to him, the project has 14 components among which are roads, mass transit, housing , improved land use, street lights, parks and recreational centres.

Others include markets, neighbourhood centres and waste management.

He noted that, the roads component of the Kaduna renewal project will open up the city, connect communities and create alternative routes to reduce travel time, from north to south, and east to west.

“This will have a multiplier effect on housing, business and social development. It is also expected to promote integration across communities and enhance unity.”

He said the renewal project will begin with the construction of seven new roads spanning 23.4kms within Kaduna metropolis.

“All the roads selected are based on the Max Lock Master-plan for Kaduna city. Fourteen existing roads will also be dualised or upgraded.

”New roads will connect Kabala Costain to Aliyu Makama Road in Barnawa and Malali to College Road. A new 9.65kms road will connect Rabah Road to Nnamdi Azikiwe Road (the Western By-pass), with a link to the Rigasa train station.

“Another 5.73km road will connect the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua road in Millennium City to the Eastern By-pass.

“While the the urban renewal project will dualise WAFF Road, from the NEPA Roundabout to Essence Junction.


“It will also dualise Yakubu Gowon Way and build an underpass at Leventis Roundabout. Several other roads will be upgraded, including Alkali Road, Tafawa Balewa, Swimming Pool Road, Poly Road to Dutsenman Road via Kasuwan Barci Roundabout, Kinshasha Road, Katuru Road, and Shehu Laminu to Ramat Road in Ungwan Rimi. The 4km Nasarawa to Flour Mill road will also be completed.”

He explained that the roads captured represent a significant investment in the present and the future of the capital city.

El-Rufai stressed that the roads would be constructed and delivered to world-class standards in reasonable time, with markings, solar lighting and shoulders.

“That is why we are today signing a Memorandum of Understanding with CCECC to build all the new roads and upgrade the existing ones.


“It is my understanding that CCECC will today flag-off the 5.73kms road project to link Millennium City to the eastern By-pass.”

According to him, Government has been assured that the Malali- College Road will be delivered within 12 months while many of the other roads will be delivered over a 24-month time frame.

“The road projects will also embrace the demands of our mass transit programme.

“Kaduna needs to upgrade beyond the rickety cabs and rickshaws (tricycles) that pass for public transportation in the city.

“Kaduna Renewal will bring to fruition our long-held aspirations for a mass transit system.”


He disclosed that the Kaduna State Transport Regulatory Agency (KADSTRA) will unveil its chosen operator for the bus mass transit when it concludes the selection process.

“The responsible agencies will similarly update the public on their mandates for delivering Kaduna Renewal.”

The governor called on the public to support the delivery of the projects for the benefit of all adding that, widening the roads will require the removal of buildings and attachments in the public interest.

”Construction work will also impose some temporary inconveniences” he said.

I swear to GOD Nigerians value their African brothers more than any other person ask the people from Niger republic living here

I can't even differentiate btw them and the hausa's. Who cares if you are a nigerian or not so long as you have the melanin pigment you remain invincible. Do you know foreigners enjoys equal right and privileges like we the citizens. I wonder how these other africa countries are able to decipher a person that is not from their country merely by looking. We are ranked 4th as the african country with the highest immigrants but yet we dont complain and are not ready to deport every african. I just wish that the next govt we will have will take immigration seriously and practicing what these other african nations are doing maybe that time they would learn to respect authority and superiority. They take our kindness and hospitality for granted
