SUPERB LAW!



El "the django" rufai strikes again!

El-rufai should take over from PMB, if the later fails to contest in 2019...this man has foresights!!

Ok. One minute the prices of crude oil goes up and the next you're passing a grand plan into law in a state where students still sit on the floor to learn.

That grand plan would have made better sense if it were based on developing the educational or industrial sector.

elrufai again?

Nasir El-Rufai should have contested the Presidential election as the candidate of APC instead of Buhari.

Y do the Northern Politicians have working brains than their Southern counterparts who would rather be taking entirely useless pictures with ponmo sellers or okada riders?

Little wonder the British relinquished power to the North.

Nice.

Amazing. That's what happens when you have a Quantity Surveyor as Governor.

While I'm aware of El Rufai's dream of transforming KD into a modern metropolitan masterpiece, as well as his capacity to fully implement his plans, he should take cognizance of the undesirable effects it could have on the stability of the lives of his citizens particularly as a result of 'necessary' demolitions, and as such, should make adequate compensation available.

Let's watch and see.

Master Plan ko Servant Plan ni

Rubbish

I smell trouble for those who built without obtaining government approval.. It will also boost government revenue as those who have not been paying ground rent may be forced to do so.

This was Namadi Sambo's idea and project

Demolition man.
Two governors that are delivering in Nigeria- El-rufai of Kaduna state and Willie Obiano of Anambra state!

This so called master plan bill is at the detriment of the masses. The masses of the country always at the receiving end.

Business owners are gonna be thrown out of business without compensation. People are going to be rendered homeless.

This bill is sure going to increase poverty to people of Kaduna. God deliver us from wicked and heartless rulers

Hmmmm
