Nice one from the senate.

Though there are other institutions offering course in transport as posited by Minister Amaechi, they are not degree awarding. These institutions are Maritime Academy, Oron-Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria Institute of Transport Technology, Zaria.

Maritime Academy is essentially a merchant Navy Training programme offering HND while the NITT Kaduna offering courses in Transportation Technology and Management leading to HND.

If the Maritime University Okerenkoko is properly structured and positioned it would thrive and offer quality programmes. Presently there is only one of such institution in West Africa; The Regional Maritime University, Teshie-Ghana. The Maritime University can affiliate and collaborate with similar institution in Malaysia, South Korea and Singapore. These are nations with well developed seafaring and ship building culture that rivals that of the western nations.so because Bill passed second reading now we should be dancing skelewu ? even if the whole house pass the said bill, President still need to apend his signature before it bcom law here in my dear country ..... pls tell me, Deputy Senate President passed 20 bills in a single day ........... how many did Bubu appended since assumed office , or GEJ passed during his tenure?? Nigeria what a funny country ...... we needs to secede and come back later to form New Nigeria like Germany

Technically the University can partner with Nigerdock-Lagos and other EPC (Exploration, Production and Construction) companies involved in the Oil and gas Industry. The Nigeria Content Development Bill has helped a lot of indigenous firms to build local capacity in the construction and management of equipment for the oil industry.

Finally Amaechi's excuse that the area where the university is safe cannot hold water. There is still the University of Maiduguri in Maiduguri, Ramat Poly, Maiduguri irrespective of the Boko Haram crisis.

I bet the mover of that bill did so only to spite Amaechi because I don't see where the fund will come out from habi no be inside this economy wey Bubu has to leave the other room seeking to go borrow loan finance a budget

richidinho:


why cant you seek for more information before commenting here?

EVarn:
On one hand,the maritime university seem to be an avenue for gross embezzlement,with N13 billion already spent on land alone; how much will it take to actually build and finish the project itself?,perhaps a trillion.



We already have many institutes of learning for the purpose of land and marine transport; what the government should do is that those institute be heavily funded and provided with necessary infrastructure.




When we have the money,we can then build the maritime university.

[b][size=14pt]The good people of the Niger delta will not forgive Minister Ameachi for condemning the maritime university at Okerenko, Delta state. A strategic project that is been built in his constituency – the niger delta.

Amaechi seems to have carried his misunderstanding with the Jonathan too far. He had problems with former first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan and with President Goodluck Jonathan, the then Nigerian president. He use that misunderstanding to rub everything link to Jonathan which was not fair.

He started a war with the Jonathan and the Wike in Rivers state and turned to Delta state to denied the people of riverine their first maritime university.
Ameachi did not reason properly before talking. He was so carried away by the position of a minister forgetting that one day he will be dropped as a minister.
If Ameachi knows that he is not just a minister but he is also representing the Niger delta and rivers state he will have think twice.

This is a project an Hausa man, Yoruba man and Ibo man will not condemn if it is sited in their own domain. Amaechi went out of his way to utter gabbage condemning all aspect of the project thinking he was pleasing Buhari.
Ameachi think he will remain a minister for ever. There was minister before him and there will be minister after him.
It is unfortunate that Ameachi has created unnecessary hate for himself especially in the Niger delta region. The handwork of Amaechi will show clearly to him as at the time President Buhari drop him as a minister. He will certainly have no constituency to turn to. That is the sad tale of a man who fail to reason intelligently.

Amaechi should have respected the adage that “Silence is golden”

I wish to thank President Buhari, the senate, and Minister Kachukwu ( minister of state for petroleum ) for using wisdom to handle this delicate issue. It is in Buhari best interest to see that the Maritime University at Okerenko is completed and the EPZ project completed as well.
In same manner, peace will be achieve in the Niger delta region.
