FASHOLA, FCT MINISTER CHALLENGED TO START REPAIRING ROADS.



The popular Front for the Good Governance has challenged Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola and Muhammad Bello, the FCT Minister to start repairing roads in the capital city. Making the call in Abuja, representatives of the group took turns to level accusations of non-performance on the part of the ministers. “Abuja city has deteriorated; there are no more good roads, only pot holes everywhere”, one of the speakers lamented. Another said “How can ministers come to office every day and sleep off? Are there no more accountability? This is strange”. Another speaker recalled the days of El-Rufai, now governor of Kaduna State who went all out to dramatically reconstruct the capital city. “What we are enjoying today are the works of El-Rufai. No minister has surpassed his activities to date”, the speaker disclosed. The group observed that whereas Abuja is growing fast in population and infrastructure, there are absolutely no plans to expand the network of roads; now the city is crowded and almost busting at the seams. “What we hear of are television statements and radio announcements, nothing more. Then perhaps fake promises that runs through the years unfulfilled”, decried Mr. Usman. “We can’t continue to live like this”, he stated. “look at major road junctions, Kabusa junction, Galadimawa junction, Nepa Junction Gudu, Gaduwa are all hot spots in Abuja raging for years without any intervention from government. “But when it comes to demolition, that’s when you see Development Control comes alive”, with bogus reasons. The group observes that the same applies to AMAC-Abuja Municipal Area Council-who are perpetually adept at collection of fines, levies and issuing permits-without doing anything to add value to the society.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets? Seco...
