GEEBITE: Nigeria and China have concluded a contract agreement worth US$11.117bn for the construction of the Lagos-Calabar coastal railway line in Nigeria. The first segment of the rail line will comprise Port-Harcourt, Calabar, uyo and Aba. However, the first segment of the rail project is expected to be ready within 2 years. Additionally, when completed, the proposed coastal railway line in Nigeria will link all sea ports. The project is also expected to create business hubs meant for commercial activities. http://www.weldfabtechtimes.com/news/lagos-calabar-coastal-railway-line/ Funny enough, the above is from the same link you provided. 3 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis:PDP under GEJ alone also borrowed up to $20bn. What exactly did PDP use that money to do in the SE?.... Heck! Let's even forget about the SE, what exactly did PDP use the billions of dollars they borrowed (even at a time of high oil price) to do for any part of Nigeria as a whole? Fact check: Nigeria had a total debt of $63bn as at 2015 June when APC officially took over. Unfortunately a lot of people saying APc is plunging Nigeria in debt are ignorant of this fact. I see a lot of people singing about ApC borrowing, its almost now an anthem all over Nigeria. A lot of people singing these songs are ironically sympathetic to PDP. The real question any truly intelligent lover or patriotic Nigerian should be asking is why Nigeria had a total debt of $63bn as at 2015 when PDP handed over to ApC. If we claim APC is stupid for borrowing purely for capital projects, at least APC has an excuse that govt revenues are down (due to low oil prices). The big question is, what's the excuse of the immediate past PDP govt that also borrowed billions even at a time of substantial oil revenue? Besides the Abuja - Kaduna railway which was even completed by APC, what exactly did they use those billions of borrowed dollars for? Enough of all these half baked criticism of APC (especially coming from individuals who are sympathetic to PDP). 2 Likes 1 Share |

[/b]I am not a party person and so I don't lean to either side but I know that the road from Enugu to Makurdi is above 50% completion and that benefits the South East region and is located in the Eastern Region. Fashola personally inspected that project recently.[b] seunmsg: 1 Like 1 Share |

seunmsg:. Why Reps suspended Buhari’s $22.7bn loan request – Gbajabiamila March 19, 2020Yusuf Akinpelu  Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila. [PHOTO CREDIT: Official Twitter handle of Femi] Related News South-east senators protest 'exclusion' from $22.7bn loan, others Stop calling us 'nPDP', Dogara group tells APC loyalists Electoral Act: APC Reps will stop override of Buhari's veto - Gbajabiamila Reps protest committee appointments, accuse Dogara of weakening APC House of Reps will approve Buhari's N12 trillion loan request One of the reasons the House of Representatives suspended the consideration of the federal government’s $22.7 billion foreign loan was due to “agitation about the South-east not benefiting from the loan.” House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila said this to a delegation of religious leaders from the South-south and South-east regions of the country, in Abuja on Wednesday. He said he had personally spoken with the finance minister and the director-general of the Budget Office to find a solution. The group, Leaders of Faith Forum, had urged the federal government to “completely jettison the idea of taking a foreign loan of $22.7bn at this time.” However, Mr Gbajabiamila, in a statement his spokesperson, Lanre Lasisi, sent to PREMIUM TIMES, said the issue is debatable and that the government should be given the benefit of the doubt. Mr Gbajabiamila added that the loan request, having received Senate’s assent, was due for House’s assent, too, but the agitation of exclusion by the South-east held the green chamber back. “I know there has been a lot of agitation about (the) South-east not benefiting from the loan. It is one of the reasons we haven’t considered the loan in the House. I’ve discussed with the Finance Minister and the DG Budget,” the statement read. “It’s a matter that we’re looking at seriously. I’m hoping that there will be some kind of amicable resolution so that everybody will be carried along. Equity suggests that all zones must be carried along. “With the quality of members that you have and the generality of the House, we’ll work towards a fair resolution of the issue so that it leads to something that will bring us together and unite us as a country.” Earlier, the finance minister said the government was suspending the loan request based on global economic realities. |

mrvitalis:The person you quoted already answered your question explicitly but its seems that once people choose to play opposition with sentiments, objectivity becomes alien. Will the Calabar to PH rail not go through Abia state? If the Mambilla dam is built and starts producing 3500mw, will the electricity not power the SE? I asked a question earlier, the immediate past PDP govt, despite receiving over 3 times more revenue, still borrowed over $20bn. Since you say the 2nd Niger bridge being built by this admin is too insignificant for the sheer size of loans taken, kindly point out what PDP govt did for the SE with the massive revenues and massive loans it also took. 1 Like 1 Share |

Which one is nationalist project Liar. The $22.5billion was recently approved and has not been borrowed. Some of the projects FG intends to carry out with the money will benefit all Nigerians. The Lagos to Calabar coastal rail project will pass through the south east and benefit Igbo traders more than any other tribe. The Mambilla power project upon completion will be added to the national power grid and distributed to all homes in Nigeria including the south east. Other projects to be executed with the loan are nationalistic projects that will benefit all Nigerians. [/quote] Which one is nationalist project Liar.

mrvitalis: Very catastrophic statement from an Igbo man. It is a shame that the Igbos have such people who continously publicly ridicle them and keep them at the mercy of their oppressors. If that bridge is the biggest federal project from the APC government in 5 years of leadership then where is the hope of the Igbos? In Lagos where Igbokwe holds a role in the waste management industry the Igbos suffer. Just go to Alaba market and see the state of the roads there. The local government generates billions from the Igbos there, yet the roads around there are in disgraceful states. Rubbish. |
