These are some of the 14 Universities built by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, with their structures in no particular order
1] Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State. —North Central.
2] Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State. ——-North Central.
3] Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State.– North East.
4] Federal University, Wakari, Taraba State. —-North East.
5] Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State.-North West.
6] Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State.——-North West.
7] Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State. —South South.
8] Federal University, Ndufe-Alike, Ebonyi State.-South East.
9] Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State.——-South West.
President Goodluck Jonathan also on Thursday advised Nigeria’s National Economic Council (NEC) to approve the upgrade of six Federal universities to Mega tertiary institutions with absorptive capacity of 150,000 students to 200,000 students each. The affected Universities are yet to be named by the Presidency.

A friend came back from France, after studying for his masters degree and was absorbed by Federal University, Ndufe-Alike, Ebonyi State (FUNAI). He had an interview with the VC, Prof Ayo Ibidapo Obe directly and the VC was impressed and so he was directed to go through the recruitment processes of the school. He was absorbed and subsequently listed to go back for his PhD, being sponsored by the school via TETFUND. It breaks my heart when lazy Nigerians run their mouth and insult President GEJ, claiming that some of his works don't exist. The worst mistake Nigerians will make is to vote in Buhari in the forthcoming election. We will live to regret it. Jonathan did not only build these universities but appointed seasoned professors with administrative experiences and track records to man them. Prof Nebo was poached from Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State (FUOYE), while the like of Prof Ibidapo Obe still remain in the various ones. I don't want to forget how first class graduates have been selected all over the country and sent on scholarships to various countries to study with a bond to come back to Nigeria and serve after studies. A kid brother just graduated after his doctorate programme in Newcastle University. Instead of wasting your life badmouthing GEJ on Nairaland, go back to your books now and take advantage of GEJ's wonderful investment in education. A word is enough for the wise

Pavarottii:
He made sure there was a federal institution in all states. Adding 12 more universities.

He conducted free and fair election during his time. Wen opposition won elections with ease e.g Edo, Ondo and Anambra. And he called dem to congratulate dem.

He fought corruption with putting systems on ground. IPPIS, TSA and BVN.

He met a power production level at about 2,000plus and left it at about 5,000MW.

He created jobs through Sure P, YouWin etc.

The number of beneficiaries from PTDF from. 2010 till 2015 is more than the whole beneficiaries from since wen d program started till that time. 19something.

He made sure he repaired and constructed new federal roads in all geopolitical zones.

He revamped the railway sector.

He increased our non- oil generated revenue wiv the turnaround and rebranding of d agricultural sector. (kudos to Femi adesina).

He made our economy grow at about 7% from 2011 till date and made our economy the 3rd fastest growing economy( kudos to okonjo iweala).

For the first time we never experienced fuel scarcity in d month of December since d inception of Nigeria for his period of rule and for the first time we had the highest production of crude oil in Nigeria.(kudos to Deziani Madueke).

The first African country that was affected to eradicate Ebola.

OP, I don tire to type.

My only wish is if he will become president again.

asha80:
are you trying to say now any delay on this project will now be on jb side and not fg?

realjoker:
Don't be skeptical bro. The cost of the the project is #170b and it is a PPP project government will commit #17b which is 10% of the cost of the project and the concessioneer company will provide the remaining 90% funding, the previous government have release #4b which the current government just complete the commitment of the fg #17b on the project.

banki:
Who has denied .....you want court to pass juddegment yet you employ delay tactics
Did metuh deny 400million in his account what about Badeh? What about dasuk what about America? Even global fund asked buhari to probe the missaproprtion of funds meant to fight hiv! I mean who has renowned not rrcievong large sums, is it the md of fidelity bank or sterling?

You guys complain that the economy is bad, you forget that the previous admosnostration bled the economy dry, have you asked yourself how state governments both pdp and apc would have survieved without the bailout funds? Where thisbdebts incurred when buharis or Jonathan was president how much was crude how much is it now

amaechi1:
There was no looting, yet people are returning money. There was not looting yet revelation in the court, as witness. Even the director that was convicted for stealing pension is not conviction.

oduastates:
Some of these clowns are laughable.
Where and how do they make these folks
Not surprised.
I personally think that the SW need to send a troublemaker to the National Assembly.
Are we talking about the Jonathan who manufactured kerosine subsidy to steal $6 billion.

amaechi1:
So, who will apologize to Nigerians for the massive looting under the watch of Jonathan. Fuel hike and gross corruption which one has great devastating effect.

Nonsense

WhoRUDeceiving:
We had Anambra, lighthouse abi powerhouse of the SouthEast, and now Owerri- the story story, I mean glory of the South East. Hopefully Abakaliki thread will also come tonight, or maybe Umuahia and on and on.


But seriously, did anyone see anything of glorify here? For a tribe that is one of the greatest in Africa, you can't even fly to this town from another country, a town some folks are bragging as the it town.

In 2016 there are cities and then there are jokers. Im glad that at least people may want to hype themselves and show some development but lets be serious and not settle for mediocre and "LOCAL" buildings and roads as great. Besides Abuja and parts of Lagos, there is no "Nigerian" city that even makes Africa's top 10 modern cities, talkless of the world when their is Rio, London, Miami, LA, Abu Dhabi, Stolkholm, Cape Town, Barca, Toronto, Sydney, Berlin, Tel Aviv, etc.

SMMMh

Abagworo:
Don't try to save face by comparing me with Chino... My only condition of being in any is that they can't produce the leader. Period!

foxvilles:
I just keep wondering.....then it means SW tried throughout all those years they used cocoa money to build Nigeria's Economy. No complaints, no violence, no segregation and during all these periods, peace existed. Oil Money and violence are synonymous.

God bless Nigeria.......we will stand United.
If you can't live with others, it shows how limited you've grown.

justjify:
What is this one saying? Did you know Ondo is also a Niger delta state?
Stop displaying your ignorance please.

Babacele:
until after 4 years of PMB 's repairing wetin una spoil.....anytime una dey talk now na from an insincere and unrepentant heart....so we should wished the wasted 16 years away? naaaa

kettykin:
Fulani has taken a loan that they can never finish paying back in their life time

Babacele:
una wey dey there for 16 years wetin b una achievement? refinery no work, no light, roads na death row, employment sef na after paying on earth na to go collect for heaven a la Moro, money wey we sell from oil una steal, una no dey shame? Trial and error beta pass wicked thievery!

greatgod2012:
I'm watching!

Are Nigerians just going to accept this easily or they are demonstrating just like they did during GEJ time?

I'm watching!

400billionman:
Umuahia is gradually becoming like Owerri with hotels on every street..

Mushroom hotels..

joborskill:
Even the governor of Ebonyi state agreed that the grazing bill is the only path to peaceful coexistence. . Btw I'm Yoruba and just making #commonsense [/i]

Yorubanews:
You're no better than the Fulani herdsmen that's why no one bother with the North or East.

Yorubanews:
What the elders see while sitting down.

Igbo cowards ganging up on one man calling it bravery. Try this in the North nau.

alfred5:
Why did the Igbo's in the north had to celebrate the Coup?

Even Chinua Achebe captured it in his book 'There was a country'
