Politics › FG Approves Work On Second Niger Bridge Onitsha. by Stingman(op): 9:18pm On Dec 21, 2016

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday approved continuation of work on the second Niger Bridge.

It also approved emergency repair works on Tambruawa Bridge between Kaduna and Kano States.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of FEC meeting in Abuja.

He said: “We presented from the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing two memoranda, one was first for emergency repair works of Tambuwawa Bridge between Kaduna and Kano, situated largely in Kano. Council considered and approved the emergency procurement.

“The bridge was suffering from scrap and erosion, the parts were exposed as a result of some mining activities. We got approval for that by Council.

“The second memo related to the continuation of work on the second Niger Bridge which is the bridge that is meant to give relief to the existing Niger Bridge and improve connectivity between the West and the East.

“The project was conceived first as a PPP with government financing but the investors had not brought themselves, negotiations had not been concluded and it is important to continue to work there.”

Politics › N10bn Baro, Lokoja, Ogoja Ports To Be Ready In 2017 – NIWA by Stingman(op): 8:42pm On Dec 21, 2016

The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) says that works on the N10 billion inland ports under construction in Baro, Lokoja and Ogoja will be completed in 2017.

The Managing Director of NIWA, Boss Mustapha, disclosed this in Lokoja on Wednesday while addressing newsmen.

Mustapha said that works on the ports at Baro, Lokoja and Ogoja had reached 98 per cent, 57 per cent and 75 per cent respectively.

He put the contract sums of the ports at Baro, N3.5 billion; Lokoja, N4.1 billion, and Ogoja, N2.7 billion.

He said that all the ports would be completed in the 2017 fiscal years, adding that the they would be provided with other auxiliary facilities.

The NIWA managing director also said that the augury port in Imo had reached 70 per cent completion stage while the Onitsha port had been completed and was ready for use.

According to him, NIWA has received a certificate of compliance from the regulator, saying that the process of concessioning the port to a private operator will commence soon.

When completed, the port will service the entire market in the South East while 10 other jetties are also being constructed across the country.

Mustapha expressed the hope that the ongoing process to amend the law establishing the organisation by the National Assembly would enable it to resolve problems of overlapping of responsibilities and other conflicts within the maritime sector.

Useless propaganda .

Buhari should stop declaring open a mere summit organized by other people.

He should declare Southeast development commission to address the war destructions and many years of neglect of the zone, the way he declared Northeast development commission to address Boko haram destructions.

He should stop the useless silly actions and do something tangible to help the region they way he is helping other regions. Tomorrow he will go and pray with Obi of Onitsha in his palace, while deliberately preventing Onitsha river port from operation and abandoned second Niger bridge project.

You are right...A commission is really needed in the East to bring it at par with other regions...Nigeria was founded on a tripod, and the East is being neglected....

Nnaji at the head of this thing gives it great credibility. A solid technocrat and intellectual, Nnaji gives confidence to Southeasterners who want to put their dollars into meaningful projects, but are wary of the compromised and unprincipled Southeast political class. Southeast wealth in the Global Southeast Diaspora is estimated at over $20 billion. Just a couple of years ago, Chinedu Echeruo, a high tech guru, sold his high tech firm to Apple for a cool $2 billion. Chinedu would probably invest some of this money in the Southeast, where his dad once served as VC at Imo State University during the Mbakwe Administration, with a guy like Nnaji, an award winning Professor of Robotics engineering, at the helm of SEESS. Nnaji must be given every support to succeed. He is for all intents and purposes now the Governor of the Southeast economy. The Southeast technocratic and intellectual classes must not hang him out to dry in his coming battles with the Southeast’s political prostitutes and Judases who would sell their brothers down the river for crumbs from the tables of the enemies of the Southeast. At last, the Southeast’s epileptic and incoherent economic machine is now in the hands of a solid guy. It’s a great day for the Southeast and kith and kin in Rivers and Delta states. - matt

He said that top local and international business leaders and investors, multinational corporations, bankers and financiers, the academia, security experts and others would also be in attendance. Nnaji said that governors from the zone had shown the desire to build a formidable economic integration in the area. “We are grateful to Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for graciously accepting to host the event as well as all the other governors from for backing the initiative. “Their collective support underlines the huge significance of the summit not only for the region but for the entire nation,” Nnaji said.

Politics › Amnesty International Report: South East Senators Push For FG Probe by Stingman(op): 1:24pm On Dec 07, 2016

One week after Amnesty International (AI) released a report which indicted Nigerian security forces, especially the Nigeria Army, of killing unarmed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) protesters in Abia State, Senators from the South-East are reportedly pushing for a federal probe.
Besides, Senators from the geo-political zone have also planned to formally raise a motion on the matter in the chamber.

In addition, Daily Sun gathered that they will push for other sanctions against security agencies indicted in the report by AI.
South-East caucus members who will sponsor the motion include Enyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South) who doubles as chairman of the caucus, Ike Ekweremadu (Enugu West), Hope Uzodinma (Imo West), Andy Uba (Anambm South), Sunny Ogbuoji (Ebonyi South) and Gilbert Nnaji (Enugu East).

Others are Mao Ohuabunwa (Abia North), Theodore Orji (Abia Central), Samuel Anyanwu (Imo East), Stella Oduah (Anambm North), Benjamin Uwajumogu (Imo North), Chukwuma Utazi (Enugu North), Sam ngu (Ebonyi North) and Obinna Ogba (Ebonyi Central).
According to the report released by AI, over 150 unarmed protesters were killed by security agents.
A lawmaker from the South East, who is familiar with details of the proposed motion, told Daily Sun that the lawmakers intend to mount pressure on the Federal Government to set up a judicial panel of inquiry to investigate the killings as contained in the Amnesty AI report within two weeks.

“We will urge the Federal Government to restrain its law enforcement agents from applying extreme force in the containment of peaceful protest,” the senator noted.
It was gathered that Abaribe has received a comprehensive report from officials of AI, who paid him a courtesy visit on Monday, “to furnish him with details of their findings in the South-east.”

Abaribe had, last Tuesday, raised a motion under Matters of National Importance, and urged Senate to debate the AI report.
His plea was adopted by the Senate.

Senate President, Bukola ruled that the motion will be debated this week.
It is, however, unclear if it will come up before the end of this week.

What you Igbos dont know is that the ordinary masses dont care if igbos leave or stay. I can assure you that the average yoruba man wants the igbos to have their own country, whether that is borne out of hatred for the igbos is what i dont know.

As for the hausas, i think they want the igbos to stay and continue being subjugated while they (hausas) continue to enjoy the oil wealth of the east.

I know most minority tribes dont like the igbos so they dont care if they leave or stay. In all these mess, the most worried set of people are the elites accross all tribes who are scared that their pot of soup (Nigeria) is being threatened by this Biafra issue.

The igbos should not even hope of faring better because they are protesting or heating up the polity. Yoruba or Hausa will not shift for you in the power tussle because igbos cant compete politically so these protests wont help the plight of the igbos, rather, it will worsen it.

All i am trying to say in a nut shell is that nobody cares whether igbos leave or stay. The Igbos will do well to face their agitations and ensure biafra is achieved on the end but till then, igbo suffering continues in Nigeria.

...but you and some other Nigerians claimed that Igbos are noise makers...that they are not suffering...You see una life...na so somebody de take crass....
