TerraCotta: Welcome to the debate First, Lagos is one of 6 states in the SW. I wouldn't want to restrict the discussion to just Lagos. Afterall, most of the SW states have debts. In any case, tax receipts may be high but is it being translated in an improvement in the standard of living of average Lagosians? Or revenue is going up and a few are getting paid? Second, I don't think anyone has demonized debt. Surely debt is required for development but the issue I have with debt in Naija are as follows: 1. Lack of Accountability 2. Mis-managment 3. Corruption What is the point of starting projects if they won't have any impacts? And I doubt that SW politicians are implementing any Keynesian economics to boost their state economies. Were they practising Keynesian economics when Nigeria was making additional revenue from the sale of Crude oil? The simple fact is that Jonathan and everyone in power in the last 6 years mis-managed funds which accrued from high oil receipts. Now that Oil prices have crashed and with most states bankrupt, what is the way out of the quagmire? What will Osun sell to pay its debt? Third, the alternatives to Tinubu & his boys are obvious. To whom much is given, much is expected. If Tinubu's party is making progress, there would be no need to make references to Bode George, Alao Akala, Kashamu, etc. When your party does well, the opposition isn't relevant until you mess up. I am not interested in what the APC will do for Nigeria in the next 4 years; my interest is in what Tinubu's boys have done in the SW over the last 4 years. Fourth, China's debt to GDP ratio is high but China really isn't the best example of efficient spending since most of its infrastructure is unused. And lets not forget that China holds a large percentage of US Debt. China's holding of US Debt ($1.5T) is approximately 25% of it's own national debt. So China has some fall back. In addition, China leads in industrialization and manufacturing. Nigerian states are borrowing large sums of money, but what are they spending these loans on? Lets call a spade a spade - states collected free money from the center and borrowed both internally and externally yet are struggling to pay salaries; no improvement in health, infrastructure, education, defence. Where is the money ![]() 6 Likes |

Ford Motor Company yesterday
unveiled the first Ranger truck to
be assembled in Nigeria. It was
built in an existing facility with
Ford’s Nigerian partners
Coscharis Group, an indigenous
automobile dealer.
At the official announcement of
the Ford assembly line in Lagos,
its President/CEO, sub Saharan
African Region, Mr. Jeff Nemeth,
said Nigeria remains a significant
market in Ford’s sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA) region and accounts
for a high per cent of the
regional sales – the reason the
automaker is committed to
increasing its market share in the
country, and other key African
markets in the future.
He added that Ford’s unified
growth strategy for the
continent, with the formation of
the new Middle East and Africa
business unit last year, has also
enabled the company to
consolidate its efforts in Africa.
The facility, he said, will
accommodate one shift and will
produce an initial 10 units per
day for the market, creating
approximately 180 direct and
indirect jobs, adding that over
time, there will be expansion.
Mr. Nemeth said the main driver
behind Ford in Africa is
affordability. “Africa is one of the
youngest markets in the world
and presents a huge opportunity
in terms of consumption,” he
said, adding that the purchasing
power of consumer in the
continent is on the rise as the
middle class increases. “Despite
infrastructure challenges, Africa
has demonstrated impressive
returns on Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI),” he added.
He said the new assembly
operations, even on a small scale,
have positive knock-on effects in
the local economy and work
force. He added that in line with
the operating procedures for
Ford plants around the world,
the firm will send experienced
employees to the country to
assist with implementing the
Global Ford Production System,
which focuses on the highest
standards for safety, quality and
delivery.
Mr. Nemeth also said Ford has
taken steps to support its dealers
in Africa, including after sales
support and ensuring availability
of spare parts. “In addition, we
are looking at training and skills
transfer opportunities to
enhance the continent’s skills
base. In Nigeria, this includes a
training programme co-
ordinated by Coscharis Motors
and the Lagos State government
including hands-on modules for
technicians,” he said.
He said as part of Ford’s growth
and ability to service its
customers, Nigeria is already
home to one quick lane facility in
Lagos, with two others planned
for Calabar and Ekiti next year.
Quick Lane Centres are an
initiative of Ford Motor Company,
with facilities that offer motorists
the option of having professional
maintenance performed for
minor service items in the
shortest time regardless of their
vehicle’s brand. |

•N80b needed to complete
Akute-Agbado-Ijoko road
Ogun State has lost over 60 per
cent of its statutory revenue
allocation from the Federation
Account.
Governor Ibikunle Amosun spoke
yesterday at a Town Hall meeting
with stakeholders on the 2016
budget.
He said the state requires about
N80billion to complete the 32KM
Sango -Ijoko-Agbado-Akute -
Ojodu road.
The government awarded the
contract to Messrs Prado E.
Mercedos, a Brazilian firm, barely
three years ago but work has
slowed down, following
increasing shortage of funds.
For next year’s budget, he said
the development of rural areas
will be the priority.
He said the decision to prioritise
the rural area is because of the
realisation that the bulk of the
people reside in the rural areas
as well as the need to open up
the areas.
Amosun said Deputy Governor
Mrs Yetunde Onanuga has the
responsibility of fixing rural
roads and infrastructure.
The governor, who promised
that the new policy thrust of the
budget would be vigorously
pursued, however lamented the
massive drop in the state’s
revenue.
His words: “What we receive has
dropped considerably. In fact,
our allocation coming from Abuja
has dropped by as much as 60
per cent. It is so bad.
“When we came in, we were
collecting between N3.5billion
and N4.8billion monthly but with
the recent slump in oil prices, the
money coming to us has
reduced.
“Last month, we collected just
N1.3billion and our wage bill is in
the excess of N7billion monthly.
How do we do it? We have to
enthrone prudent financial
management.”
The governor announced that no
new roads would be awarded
next year, saying “we won’t
award contract for any new road
in 2016. We will only complete
the roads that are presently
under construction across the
state”.
Amosun told the audience that
the state would be 40 years in
February, adding that “we will be
inaugurating 40 projects across
the state.
“Our leader, President
Muhammadu Buhari, will be
coming to our state to
commission the projects. We will
be making it real because our
state is now 40 years.”
Amosun decried landlords’
refusal to re-connect their homes
with public water supply.
He said indigenes have snubbed
all efforts to reconnect to the
public water after the
reconstruction of the roads that
passed their areas.
“We are determined to ensure
that that is reversed. We
observed that people take jerry
cans to public taps. We will soon
discourage that because we will
soon be installing metres on
those public water taps and
ensure landlords reconnect to
public water mains.”
Answering questions, he said his
administration has put in place
verifiable assets worth over
N103billion while it has also
incurred a debt of about
N40billion.
Commissioner for Budget and
Planning Ms Adenrele Adesina
noted that the event was to get
public opinion on the 2016
budget.
At the event were Mrs. Onanuga,
the Olu of Ilaro, Oba Kehinde
Olugbenle, Secretary to the State
Government, Taiwo Adeoluwa. |
