The effect of fallen oil price. Buhari took over in the 80s at the era of falling oil price and the same scenario has repeated itself this era. Nigeria wasted 9 years of oil boom on non-strategic projects and was not able to develop other sectors that would have served as alternative foreign exchange earner. We are lucky a prudent man is steering our ship at the moment.

Nigeria’s former Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said her successor will face a “difficult” year because of plunging oil revenues and the economy needs expert management to weather the storm.

“We have a serious situation with a cash crunch,” she said in an interview with Bloomberg in Cape Town, South Africa at the World Economic Forum on Africa........

Good initiative by the Lagos state government. Lagos is gradually moving towards becoming a real modern mega city.

Lagosians really need to be a little bit patient with Ambode. Gradually, I believe he will hit the ground running and perform to the admiration of the people. The burden of performing at the same level or even more than a Fashola that has seriously raised the bar of state governance in Nigeria is not an easy task.

The Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja will on Saturday deliver its judgment on the petition filed by the All Progressives Congress and its candidate in the April 11, 2015 election, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, challenging the election of Governor Nyesom Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party.

The Justice Mohammed Ambrosa-led tribunal on Friday issued notice of the judgment barely 24 hours after parties adopted their final written addresses on Thursday.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Wike winner of the election with 1,029,102 votes as against Peterside’s 124,896.

But the petitioners, through their petition filed on May 3, urged the tribunal to nullify the election in the entire 23 local government areas of the state and order fresh one on the account of alleged substantial non-compliance with provisions of the Electoral Act and Manual for Election Officers 2015.

The petitioners, who called 56 witnesses within 10 days allotted to them, alleged that various acts of non-compliance include “non-accreditation/improper accreditation, failure to use card reader, resort to manual accreditation, non-signing of forms EC8A by any party agent and signing of forms EC8A by only PDP agents.”

They are alleged that the poll was marred by unauthenticated alterations in Forms EC8A, issuance of ballot papers in excess of 100 leaves per booklet, one PDP collation agent signing for several wards, presiding officer signing for party agents, voter signing for party agent and absence of collation at ward collation centres and many more.

Counsel for the petitioners, Chief Akin Olujinmi (SAN), argued that the resort to manual accreditation lacked legal justification when INEC had directed that card reader machine should be exclusively used for accreditation.

He argued that there were only 293,072 accredited voters comprising those whose Permanent Voter Cards were read, but whose fingerprints could not be verified by the card reader, Wike and other respondents failed to justify the total accreditation of total 1,228,614 votes.

But the respondents – INEC, Wike and PDP – who jointly called 40 witnesses, urged the tribunal to dismiss the petition on the grounds that it was constituted by unfounded allegations which the petitioners failed to establish.

Wike’s lawyer, Mr. Emmanuel Ukala (SAN), argued that Peterside was not qualified to contest the April 11 election because he was sponsored by the APC in contravention of Section 85 (1) of the Electoral Act.

Ukala argued that the petitioners failed to call witnesses who conducted the election, a development which he said was fatal to their case.

PDP’s lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), maintained that the petition was incompetent and the tribunal lacked jurisdiction to amend the petition which he said was replete with some bogus and unproved prayers reliefs.

INEC’s lawyer, Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), argued that the petitioners failed to prove the alleged irregularities and electoral irregularities polling unit by polling unit, which is the standard of proof set by the Supreme Court.

bettercreature:
It seems something is serious wrong with PMB because I wonder why only South/East has no INEC commissioner Because we 6 geo-political zone in the country....He gave the names of the national commissioner-nominees as: Mrs Amina Zakari from Jigawa representing North-West; Dr Antonia Okoosi-Simbile from Kogi, North-Central; and Alhaji Baba Arfo, Borno, representing North-East.

Others are Dr Mohammed Lekki from Edo, representing South-South and Prince Soyebi Adedeji Solomon, Ogun, representing South West.

Ademat7:
d project is good however rail will hv been better considering what dangote truck driver hv done to other highways

naptu2:
Yes, but I think I understand what he was referring to.

The Radio Nigeria presenters kept asking him what the point of the expressway is? Where does it lead to? So he explained that he had already spoken to the Benue State Governor and Benue State already has plans to construct an expressway to the Nassarawa border.

So they asked where that expressway would lead to and he mentioned the Central African Highway to either Morocco or Algeria. I've heard of this highway before. It's part of the Trans-Africa Highway System that was planned by the OAU/AU.

See the number 2 highway in the map in this Wikipedia article. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-African_Highway_network

Governor Ayade was interviewed on Radio Nigeria while he was waiting for Buhari to arrive. He said that he had spoken to the Benue State Governor who has a similar project to construct an expressway from the Cross River border all the way to the Nasarawa State border. He said he expects this expressway to be part of a Central African highway that will run all the way to Morocco.

baralatie:
okay,there is in the real sense two projects
a,the Deep sea port
b,the road

the deep sea port is to be built with PPP finance(this u know will not pull through.it will be frustrated at the NPA ) e.g the aba deep sea port,bonny sea port projects all died.

it leaves us with the road.the road goes through ikom-ogoja-obudu and terminates at Katsina ala in Benue state.
automatically we have Benue state,and Cross River state without a f.g involvement in that road(haba)

the road investors will now have have to recoup their investment basically through either tolls or the govt parties will foot the bill of construction
260km of calabar terrain is not beans!

Image123:
Buhari is a great team player. He doesn't muscle others, contrary to the PDP propaganda messages about him during the campaigns.

baralatie:
laudable project I agree but the PPP clause is where a clog is waiting in front of this project!
