Kano state and working Governors

Oga this is the kind of things we should be hearing from SS states with their 13% derivation but alas na songs about marginalization we go hear every day couple with destruction of Govt infrastructure.

I hope the northern states will not super-cede the southern states one day in terms of infrastructure with the way things are going.

EazyMoh:
Misplaced priority if you ask me. We shall all focus on production, production and production. Even our agricultural produce if properly processed can generate jobs and revenue for the state. Kano is not congested at all to deserve such project.

can you hear yourself? must kano be congested before such project can be embarked on? chai

Goke7:


Rail is good you say, so what's your problem. Do you mean good things should not be done during recession?

Come on, your reason is not tenable, the best time to make such expenditure is in the time of recession due to the spill over effects into the economy. The governor certainly knows what he is doing and am sure if he's your state governor, you will be hailing him too.

Northern states like Kano and Kaduna are trying to full advantage of PMB in power to improve critical infrastructure in their domain, this is what the SS states fail to take advantage of when GEJ was in power, no be everything be gra gra.

Take advantage of a president to improve infrastructure at the expense of others in an economy under recession?. Now that is an interesting angle you brought up.
Atleast a precedent has been set. If a SE or SS president emerges tomorrow, he is expected to leverage on his position to overspend on his domain beyond the realms of common sense and equality. He is not expected to check the most ample position for increased national productivity and invest therein devoid of ethnic sentiments.
Jonathan must be a stark moronn then for not diverting half Nigerias's budget to the Niger-delta for the total transformation of that place instead of building almajiri schools and solving northern age-long issues meant for their governors.

Dollyak:
What's the economic viability of this project? Even more so for a state, according to statistics, has been one of the most unproductive states in the scheme of things. No doubt, the southerners would be forced to stump up the repayment of this sum.

You have surely been misinformed which is very unfortunate, Kano unproductive? Jesus christ

Kano state need more of human development in a place where d youth lack knowledge of understanding, so after the construction the China will stay and maintian it abi

Kano state alone has more federal allocation than the entire south east.
If you had any sense, You would see how much Nigerian resources is being wasted in the north with very mediocre output and results.

Goke7:

Most state in Nigeria are unproductive but some more than others. For being such a major state with many 'unfair' historical capital funding, it's really unproductive. Relative to States like Lagos, River and even Kaduna to an extent.

You think Jonathan meant well for the north? He only did what he did for the north cos of his intention for re-election, reason the northerners were not fooled. You think if Jonathan had won second term, he will care for the north? Jonathan was never nationalistic, if you think so, ask the sw governors.

Abegi, carry your sentiments go one side, the northern governors are the ones trying to up their game and leveraging on PMB's power which the SS governors fail to do. Its not Jonathan's fault but the SS governors palaver. ok?

fiizznation:
Yeah Mr pessimist, never sees any good in others. None of your backward state can be compared with kano state in terms of social, physical, infrastructural or whatever development. Kano state is miles ahead of wherever cave you came out from. Now the topic is talking about a $1billion railways tracks, you mischievously brought "almijiri" into the discuss just because of bitterness for people who don't know a simpleton like you exist. Pray tell me, between the almajiris and the hundreds of drug barons executed all of the world, who is more better? Of course the almijiri is better because he doesn't uses greediness to take the lives of innocent people all over the world.

Never do well like you have already made social medias a place for nuisance were every tom and dick display all sorts of foolishness, that's why many sane minds are avoiding various fora.

Now what's your business with kano state or governor ganduje? Is he your state governor or its the railway tracks meant for your village you called a 'state' ?

You used all your space attacking the messenger rather than the message.
Rail project is never a bad idea anywhere but the message is that Nigeria at the moment do not need to spend our monies on projects that are not localised.
Localised in the sense that the money will be spent locally. $1.85b! The truth is that more than $1b of that money is going to China.
We need to mobilise our local contractors and construction firms. They will spend the money locally thereby not putting pressure on the Naira.
Time for international contracts has been halted for now.
Hope you understand the point now.

Kano State Metropolitan Rail Gigantic Project--- Ganduje Is Working


Kano state government has awarded a $1.851 billion contract to China Railway Construction Corporation to construct the Kano city light rail.

The state Commissioner for Works and Transport, Hon. Shehu H. Lambu presented the provisional letter of award of contract which was received by Mr. Wei Guo Qin on behalf of the company.

The rail, with a total length of 74.3 kilometres, is expected to travel at a speed of 100 kilometres per hour.

In context, 100 kilometres per hour is as fast as moving from Lagos to Ibadan in 72 minutes.
The first phase of the project construction is billed to take two years, while the second phase of the four-line rail is expected to take another two years.

“Project contract amount of approximately $ 1.851 billion, equivalent to approximately RMB 120.3 Billion, accounting for 2% of the Company’s 2015 revenue, under the China Accounting Standards”.

The project is part of a grand design to upgrade Kano to the status of a truly mean city, as it will significantly ease movement of goods and services.

On completion, the light rail is expected to cover Janguza - Bata, Jogana - Bata, Dawanau - Bata and Kwanar Dawaki - Bata routes in Kano city.

$1.851 billion @#305/$ = #564,555,000,000. Cost per Km = #7,598,317,631.20/Km. This is a very huge investment. Let's just hope it's worth it. BTW, who knows the latest about the feud between this Ganduje guy and his estranged God-father?
ION, Check my signature and do the needful. Thank me later.

What is their productivity in terms of ?
Is it in manufacturing? Skilled Human resources? Education? What exactly? That would justify their humongous federal resources even more than the southern eastern region that accounts probably for 30-40% of Nigeria's industrial and productive population.
What does kano state contribute to Nigeria that correlates with their enormous federal funding?

Do you know many international business transactions are in Kano, you think it has an international airport for nothing? in terms of agriculture, do you know how productive kano is? Please get more information, google is your friend.

Google is your friend, go and learn more, we are too lazy to read in Nigeria, nairaland is too small to be source of information you hear.

You are just bitter against Kano simple, if its anambra, it won't be a problem at all bruv

China has made it in this African continent

I will always be in support of any rail implementation project because that is the way to go. But maintenance is key to get these things going in the long term.

I am not discussing jonathan . I am discussing a precedent.
The SS and SE governors should hijack aso-rock when they get the presidency again. That is exactly what you are saying and I concur, atleast with respect to Nigerián politics.

Indeed. In addition, there won't be any transfer of technologies from china as it is always the case with many African countries cue Ethopia rails agreement with the Dutch.
2. The lack of economic drive (extremely negative purchasing managers index) in Kano means the project is unsustainable. so effectively the federal government would always need to stump up cash to subsidize this toy project.
3. Geographically, in terms of population density I don't even think they should be in the top 10 for this kind of projects.

EazyMoh:

What we need to revive this economy is infrastructure, infrastructure and infrastructure. How can you produce without any infrastructure on ground. If it needs borrowing, lets go an borrow to fund our infrastructural development.

I don't need google to check south eastern contribution to Nigeria. It is felt by every man and woman and child in Nigeria . I don't need to google to see aba and Nnewi products. I don't need google to know south eastern leadership in education and productivity.
