760 km of rail track running from Kaduna - ikot ekpene will not pass the interest of millions of nigerians residing in the cities that the track traverses The track is suppose to pass through jos-lafia-makurdi-otukpo-enugu-umuahia-ikot ekpene. there are millions of nigerians within that area, a project of that magnitude will not escape their interest. As much as i would like this to be true, but i think the sources got it wrong. |
@ op wake up from your dream lol, consult this thread that i posted sometime ago and you will find the comprehensive diagram showcasing the Nigerian high speed master plan. click on the link above the said map to see a larger image with expected completion dates. https://www.nairaland.com/1414626/nigerian-high-speed-rail-journey The only part of the plan that is currently under construction is the Abuja - Kaduna line. There is a plan to connect Ikot ekpene as with several other cities/towns in nigeria so your dream is not totally baseless but implementation/construction has not began in earnest. Hope that answers your ? |
NIGERIA’S quest to boost its educational efforts got a major boost yesterday when it obtained a grant of $500 million to serve as additional resources to support universal basic education. The former British Prime Minister, Mr. Gordon Brown, gave this hint at the meeting of Coalition Interventions to Support Access and Quality of Education in Nigeria hosted by President Goodluck Jonathan at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Abuja. “The Federal Government of Nigeria has made available $250 million for investment in education by the states. What we have managed to do by talking to the individual agencies over the last few days is to match that $250 million by the additional $250 million making possible new investment of $500 million in education in Nigeria,” Brown explained. A breakdown of the fund as explained by Brown indicated that Global Partnership for Education and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have agreed to contribute $100 million each for the development of universal education. Brown said that the Federal Government, in collaboration with state governments, has already provided $250 million for the development of education in the country, noting that additional cash transfers is for training, introduction of new technologies can now match the initiatives that have been taken by Dr. Aliko Dangote from the business community and other initiatives among five agencies. He also pointed out that Nigeria stood to benefit from a seven-year term European Union (EU) grant that would be devoted to the development of education, saying: “I have talked to the head of the development commission for the EU and he said he will tell the government of Nigeria to submit an application from time to time for the next seven years term will be devoted to education development in Nigeria. So, it’s up to the government to make the application.” Mr. Brown told the President that he had had a very productive meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo, the Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy/Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufa’i, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, the Minister of State for Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, governors and state commissioners for education on international support for efforts to create greater access to educational opportunities for Nigerian youths. Representing the President, Vice President Namadi Sambo said that the Federal Government has identified access and quality “as the two strategic goals of Nigerian education,” emphasising that the government’s 4-Year Strategic Plan for the Education Sector: 2011-2015, “further enumerates the approaches to addressing the challenges in the sector. “Within these frame-works, we have implemented a number of specific initiatives to improve access and reduce the number of out-of-school children since the inception of this Administration. The Almajiri Education Programme was launched to increase access for the Almajiris or the less-privileged children and integrate the scheme into our Basic Education system. Today, 80 modern boarding and day schools have been completed and 45 others are in various stages of completion,” he said. http://ngrguardiannews.com/national-news/132379-govt-gets-n77-6-billion-to-boost-education- |
A report by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has ranked Nigeria high among nations where a large population of schoolchildren are not in the classrooms. The report shows that one out of every five Nigerian children is out of school. The UNESCO Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EAGMR) said Nigeria holds the world record of having the highest number of its young people out of school, according to the report published Tuesday by an online medium, Premium Times. With approximately 10.5 million kids out of school, Nigeria tops the table of 12 other countries with which it accounts for 47 per cent of the global out-of-school population. The other countries are Pakistan (5.1 million); Ethiopia (2.4 million); India (2.3 million); Philippines (1.5 million); Cote d’Ivoire (1.2 million); Burkina Faso (1million); Niger (1 million); Kenya (1 million); Yemen (0.9 million); Mali (0.8 million) and South Africa (0.7 million). Of all these countries, according to UNESCO, Nigeria is among the four that has experienced the highest increase since 1999. “It (Nigeria) is one of only four among these twelve countries where the number increased in absolute terms,” the report noted. “It now accounts for almost one in five out-of-school children in the world.” Although, UNESCO officials blamed the drop in school enrolment in some countries on the decrease in aid between 2010 and 2011, anecdotal evidence suggests that the monumental corruption at all levels of government might have worsened Nigeria’s case. In Nigeria, officials routinely steal funds appropriated for building classrooms, buying textbooks and implementing programmes that should bring more children to school. Recently, some officials were indicted for stealing funds released to the nomadic education commission, an agency charged with the responsibility of getting Fulani herdsmen to enrol their kids in school. “This is a shame for our country,” said Femi Falade, a private school owner in Ijebu-Ode. “President Jonathan and state governors should bury their heads in shame.” In a statement on Monday, Kate Redman, Communications Specialist, Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EAGMR) of UNESCO in Abuja, said the amount of aid to basic education Nigeria received in 2011 was 28 per cent lower than it received in 2010. “It is in the top 10 countries for the largest decrease in aid from 2010-2011.” It is not clear whether Redman was talking about aid from the Nigerian government or from donor agencies. The statement said new statistics showed that 57 million children were out of school globally in 2011, which was a drop of two million from 2010. It said that aid to basic education had decreased for the first time since 2002, adding that the world must move beyond helping children enter school to also ensure that they learnt the basics there. “Our twin challenge is to get every child in school by understanding and acting on the multiple causes of exclusion and to ensure they learn with qualified teachers in healthy and safe environments,” it said. It called on donors to renew their commitments so that no child was left out of school due to lack of resources. It also noted that funds were not directed to the regions and countries most in need, adding that only $1.9 billion (about N296.4 billion) was allocated to low income countries in 2011. The report, however, urged donors to prioritise countries and regions most in need as sub-Saharan African accounted for more than half of out-of-school children. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/nigeria-emerges-tops-in-number-of-children-out-of-school/150165/ |
agbameta: See irony and foolish .....Eko Ole sorry Eko ile AKA Agbameta since you changed your username/moniker i thought that you had turned a new leaf , but Obviously your obsession with Akpabio is still on going. All you do is run with your mouth based of rumors. Where did you confirm that Akpabio has relocated his family to Lagos? you are quoting a line off a biased newspaper article as you source? clowns like you need your head examined. Akpabio prior to his appointment as a commissioner in the Administration of Gov. Attah had been a lagos state resident and still maintained a home in lagos even as a gov. as most people in Nigeria do. This is not because of what lagos state govt. has done but what lagos state represent ie the commercial capital of Nigeria and a former capital of the nation. when you want to start your usual rant borne out of your hatred and tribalism traits, come out plain and state it as you usually do and do not try to be stealth for your activities viz a viz doing the biding of your pay masters ACN/APC is well known on this site. if you thought that your identity was hidden. think again for a goat can never turn into a wolf. Unfortunately for you no amount of propaganda can change the facts on ground Akpabio is a better gov. than all your APC gov. combined and Nigerians know this. |

[quote author=IGBO-SON]^^^They can't be seen to be spending too much money on Enugu, or else you know who will start complaining saying that the Aviation Minister is favouring Enugu airport over their own! They've already accused her of favouritism and tribalism.....you can expect they're watching her every move like a hawk![/quote]Detractors will say whatever they want to say, she should be bold and do the right thing by building a taxiway @ enugu airport to give it a befitting intl' status both lagos and kano have 2 runways complete with taxiways. so one standard runway with taxiway for enugu is not doing too much. |

[quote author=Warri _Pikin]That is the marked part. Anyway,how long is the Katsina airport runway? just asking..[/quote]Katsina direction 04/22 length 3,032m or 9,947ft the lengths provided are the accurate lengths of the runways in nigeria. FAAN wont lie about their facility. |
[quote author=Warri _Pikin]What Enugu needs so badly is using trees and flowers along the major roads to make it a truly green city. I know Enugu already has trees and flowers better than most Nigerian cities, but more should be planted to bring it at par with what is obtainable in European cities and indeed real African cities such as Nairobi,Abuja, Calabar or Harare. Again, i was informed today that Enugu airport has the shortest runway of international airports in Nigeria. Abuja=3.70km (extendable to 5.2 km) Lagos=4.2 km (extendable to 6.0 km) PH= 3.4km (extendable to 5.5 km) Kano= 3.65km (extendable to 6.2 km) Enugu=3.10km (extendable to ?) The government of Enugu state must immediately put a freeze on further developments around the airport area which is bound to boom now. They should also secure more land in front of the runway,should an extension be needs soon. They should also ban any building higher than a bungalow around the airport for safety reasons. All these measures need to be taken now because the Enugu airport unlike the other international airports is located in the middle of a thriving Emene town. So managing housing development in the immediate vicinity of the airport to guarantee safety of especially large airplanes such as Boeing 747s and airbus A340 landing and taking off from Enugu International must be a priority now. if not, land speculators will only concentrate on buying up all the land around the airport needed for future runway extension and build hotels and tall building which will make air crashes frequent at the airport.[/quote]point of correction the nigerian airport runway length are as follows: Abuja direction 04/22 length 3,609 m or 11,842 ft lagos direction 18R/36L length 3,900 m or 12,794 ft direction 18L/36R length 2743 m or 8,999 ft Port harcourt direction 03/21 length 3,001 m or 9,846 ft Kano direction 05/23 length 2,451 m or 8040 ft direction 06/24 length 3,301m or 10,831ft Enugu direction 08/26 length 3,000m or 9,843ft source FAAN Uyo direction 08/26 length 3,600m 0r 11,800 ft width 60 m + reinforced shoulders designed for widest body aircrafts. |

AKS Govt should save The ICT park project,It is Saddening that the place has become a farm cassava plantation. the present administration should look into completing this project as a lot of money was sunk into it by the past administration. this project should be resuscitated. The state govt has recently sent 150 indigenes of the state to india for ICT training, This park would serve as a great place for them to come back and apply their acquired skills. picture courtesy of www.facebook.com/akwaibomglobal/photos_stream

ngozievergreen: pls, help me explain this to ujoinme.Larfarge, BUA, Unicem, etc are also major cement manufacturers in nigeria. Larfarge was the largest before Dangote waded into the market. Monopoly is attained when there is only one producer of such goods. being a dominant or the largest manufacturer does not make you a monopolist it just makes you a major player! Did you guys accuse Larfarge 5-6 yrs ago when they were the largest producer of cement in Nigeria of monopoly? is it because its owned by europeans? Walmart is the largest grocer in The US and the world but that doesn't mean they are a monopoly even in the US there are other profitable and competitive grocers that are giving them a run like target, safway,etc Lafarge and other minor cement producers and their appologist should stop whining about dangote and compete afterall thats what business is about when they do that Nigerians will benefit from price drops. And when govt. policies favours bussiness it is referred to as business savvy. Thats why bussiness lobbies the congress/politicians tis nothing new, in The US every major business has a lobby group in washington! what do you think those lobby groups are set up for? No one is stopping Larfarge, Unicem, BUA and other cement manufacturers from lobbying the nigerian govt. they shoul stop crying wolf when dangote out lobby them in Abuja thats part of business. |

50calibre: You are very funny and naive to think the Russians don't have an effective delivery system for their warheads, to think that the Russians who fought in the 1st and 2nd world war, would be in a position whereby their nukes would be detonated in their soil, even china. Very naive of you.Good expose! now that you researched all these maybe you would agree with me that russia and china are just posturing knowing what the end game would be. remember off all this countries in the world that threaten nuke. the USA is the only one in the history of the world to actually use it in warfare just remember that! they are the only battle tested nuke power in the world. the rest have a history of only playing ping pong with nukes. US will Aid the rebel to oust ASSAD with or without air strikes and there is nothing China or russia will do about it except gripe and posture. |
I will lodge in that hotel as long as there will be a rank and file soldier to give me an officers treatment when i check in i.e. wash my car squeaky clean, polish my shoe till i can see my reflection on it, starch and iron my clothes to army precision and all other service they render to their Ogas at the top. lol |
BabaTony: I am presently not in aks now. When I visit I promise to furnish you pictures of only the good, I will keep the bad and ugly away because of the topic. Akwa ibom is a very blessed state with every potential to explode economically. We all, including you and me have to make sure this happens. As far far as you are in the world bickering must exist, you cant wiah it away. It is rather how you handle these bickerings is what makes the difference. Not when it comes you brand ppl anti-this or that. Deal with the issues because we all want the best for the state.Ok now you are talking am looking forward to you pictures. lol we need updates on all the projects thats going on in the state pls both where they are doing well and not. |
