Good move.

Everything should not revolve around Lagos.
There are hundreds of virgin lands in Abuja, yet, Lagos keeps getting congested with very poor standard of living.

If not because of that Atlantic that cuts across Lagos, Lagos would have been a parody of itself since 1991.

If there was an easy way to make the Atlantic cut across Abuja, aboki people would have done that a long time ago.

And once that happens, many people will run away from Lagos.

Must it be Abuja?

Dpharisee:
Why is he moving institutions away from sophisticated 97% area to Abuja
Meanwhile, Airpeace has long asked for Enugu Airport to be concessioned to them to turn it into an aviation hub but Sirika has worked against that.
By the time Calabar, Port Harcourt and Warri Ports are given maximum attention, Lagos will start losing it's position as the export hub of Nigeria. All the North needs to do is to take over the Super highway project from Cross River state to Tarana which has close proximity to the sea than Lagos

My dear, ignorant people like u don't know what makes a city or a region great.
Administrative HQ doesn't really matter. What matters is where the operations take place. It's like saying PH and Warri has lost their place in our oil sector just because NNPC head office is in Abuja. Rubbish! Lagos is so independent that it doesn't lean on FG peanuts like other states.
As for companies, even if some relocate outside Lagos, does it not interest you that the world biggest single train refinery is being built in Lagos. With a capacity twice that of all your FG refineries combined.
This refinery also comes with the biggest petrol chemical complex and biggest fertilizer complex in Africa.
Go to Lekki Export Processing Zone and see how the Chinese are turning that place to a new China. Even a new Lekki port is being constructed there to decongest Apapa. Not to mention Eko Atlantic City that is being dubbed the new African Dubai.
My brother, if you are waiting for the fall of Lagos u will wait forever. Presently, nearly 70% of the foreign direct investments coming into Nigeria are looking for a place to set in Lagos. Ok?
Have a nice day!

Yoruba people don collect enough beating from Hausa Fulani

Stil na igbo Dey dia mouth as dem Dey wail...

Yoruba can never ever face Hausa Fulani and talk gibberish
Instead dem go silently Dey collect as them... if pain too much na igbo dem go scream consciously or not..

The name Dey believe wey Dey heal their pain

See helinues

His pain no gree again... the full scream igbos

Huncle, that's why Abuja is the administrative capital of the country

They should even move all of the key federal government agencies and parastatals out of Lagos

God! Nigeria's government has made Lagos very powerful, leading population explosion.

you have lost the first 5 alphabets which starts your username.

helinues:


They could have relocated to your region if it's more better than Lagos...

The presence of some of these FG agencies due to long period of lagos as Capital of Nigeria is one of the reasons lagos keep making money.

I smell fowl play. But lagos needs to be decongested.

It is for the interest of the entire country including South West. South West does not start and end in lagos. Nigeria is just a mess.

They might lose revenue because even the roads in Abuja are lacking people to even use them the roads in Abuja were meant for Lagos

CapitalBank:
The oil companies HQ in Lagos, what are they do there?

we are talking economy here you are talking about where head quarter is situated, u get sense so? They could as well situate those headquarters in any state they like that favours their company must it be any, in fact una minister has no economic sense.

I dont know if it is ignorance or bitterness that is affecting some of us.
The move is a nice one for Lagos, it is a very good development.

bakynes:

Is Washington D.C not the Capital of USA are all the agencies situated there? If Lagos is the commercial capital of the country, it means most travelers, foreigners will travel into Lagos more. So those Agencies are needed more in Lagos than in Abuja. Lagos needs to be decongested but relocating these Agencies wont decongest it. It will only make their work much more difficult.

Don't even mention the United States. Nigeria's version of federation and theirs are not the same. We claimed to have copied their constitution but bastardized it.

Unlike the US where most activities are decentralized, we run a central government here - something that has made Lagos to become overpopulated. It's time to decongest it.

For the minister to order a relocation, he must have done his feasibility study. You cannot be more Catholic than the Pope. He is an insider, so he knows his onions as far the industry is concerned.

Besides, we live in information age, so I don't see how the move will be an obstacle to the agency's smooth operation. Files and documents can be shared in a split second, people make calls in a flash, etc.

I cannot believe we have ports in Rivers and Delta states, yet the disaster that happens in Apapa is normal to Nigeria's government

Any move geared towards decongesting Lagos is acceptable.

It’s all about this insane and inexplicable need to feel superior and grab everything meaningful to their region! This is the major reason they went all out to get rid of GEJ (with the assistance of some greedy and bigoted southerners....kindred spirits if you like), and is also the reason why they unashamedly rigged the 2019 one to remain in power!

This is one of the reasons i want Ndigbo out of this contraption they call a country! We will always be undermined and held down at every corner, and can never reach our full potential as a people!

Do I look like I care?

It is just like saying "relocate NPA Nigerian Port Authority to Abuja" when it is clear that Abuja is land locked, that minister and some people here smoke a lot of cow dung.

Gbam!!! With the huge population in Lagos the roads are as tiny as a thread, why can't they enlarge the roads in States that has population and buoyant economy? They won't

Port decongestion is good, the Eastern ports needs to be revived because 60% of the countries importers are Igbos. But Aviation hub is in Lagos, it makes no economic sense relocating them to Abuja and having an annex in Lagos again, why not leave them in Lagos where they are needed while the leadership of those agencies can report to Abuja whenever they are needed.

Whiteangel1234:
good news Lagos over hyped it need
decongestion

I know you one of these ipob e-rats. Those that do not see anything good in yoruba race. That's the reason why your people will keep on serving the other region.
. Keep dreaming of Biafra Republic till thy kingdom come.

If it's not lagos State, it could have been one of your moldy and cursed Regional Territory.
Very soon, you will die of a heart attack because of the prosperity and abundance of the Yoruba region. Your people carry their cursed and battered destiny come to Lagos State, God open ways for them, and you are still forming the useless and unwanted opinion about lagos state that Lagos State is over hype....who begged or forced you to leave your forbidden region called Yeast...?

Tell him to get his ass out of Lagos for once in his life. It won't hurt

rovher:

Pls no disrespect, exactly what part of Lagos are you talking about?

Apart from some areas in Ikoyi, Lekki and Ikeja, the rest part are slums.
before you argue I know Lagos.

My dear, ignorant people like u don't know what makes a city or a region great.
Administrative HQ doesn't really matter. What matters is where the operations take place. It's like saying PH and Warri has lost their place in our oil sector just because NNPC head office is in Abuja. Rubbish! Lagos is so independent that it doesn't lean on FG peanuts like other states.
As for companies, even if some relocate outside Lagos, does it not interest you that the world biggest single train refinery is being built in Lagos. With a capacity twice that of all your FG refineries combined.
This refinery also comes with the biggest petrol chemical complex and biggest fertilizer complex in Africa.
Go to Lekki Export Processing Zone and see how the Chinese are turning that place to a new China. Even a new Lekki port is being constructed there to decongest Apapa. Not to mention Eko Atlantic City that is being dubbed the new African Dubai.
My brother, if you are waiting for the fall of Lagos u will wait forever. Presently, nearly 70% of the foreign direct investments coming into Nigeria are looking for a place to set in Lagos. Ok?
Have a nice day!

The fact the Government has played a good role in making Lagos sea Port it's only national Port is Devastating to other regions.

The main importers in Nigeria are the Ibos, when the construction of other ports in Akwa Ibom, Port Harcourt, Delta state and Cross River is completed, Lagos will die a slow death.

if you don't believe me, get a map of West Africa.

The comments here just show how much our wailing brothers from the Yeast long to see Lagos demise. We wait and watch.
But one thing I'm certain about is Lagos is going nowhere. But for our Nigeria neighbours that cry about Abuja being better, Lagos has always gotten a better rating in the developmental indices of world cities. And do the situation on grond says as much? Well, perhaps, they might have to bring the infrastructural facts and figures they use in arriving at the bull.shit of Abuja being more developed than Lagos. Come to think of it, since all the years they had been pumping in the money, it hasn't been economically viable let alone usurping Lagos despite being a year short of the duration Lagos used as the capital and despite being built right from scratch.
Just laughing and watching!!!
Eko o ni baje o! A tumbo maa dara si ni...

The Osus and their sympathizers are double faced cowards and as such not interested in what is right or not rather what in their imagination will bring Yoruba land down to them, Yorubas are their problem. They are usually the first to claim Lagos if positive development is discussed and called it Yorubaland if negative development is involved. In the case of Lagos and Yorubaland, it is beyond their imagination for instance, Lagos has been expanding even in land mass courtesy of Eko Atlantic city and other reclamation projects on going and the congestion stuff will be taken care of in due course meanwhile the little red mud land of the Osus is almost gone through erosion and no where to expand to. They hate with passion Asiwaju Bola Tinubu because he transformed Lagos from a slum when IBB left in 1991 to what we have today and his successors are moving it forward. Who God has blessed no Osu can cause.

The reality would set in when the ports are completed. So if the main importer are Ibos, what happens to the other tribes importing? Have you done the percentage to see which region import most? What about the market? Or better still, what goods are the Ibos importing that the Yorubas aren't? And also remind me what goods the Ibos are exporting that the Yorubas aren't? I don't want to drag in the other tribes here but when you leave, the market would still be as big with only little change in the character and the buyers would still be patronising especially that most of our international customers are within west Africa and Lagos stand the advantage of not only being known and trusted but also being in line as the first they come to.
Problem can only arise if no Yoruba or other tribe still around is willing to invest in the field the Ibo man left behind. S

9jvirgin:
The question is about efficiency and effectiveness. Nothing can succeed in Nigeria. If Nigerian embassies in USA and Canada are struggling, I don't see anything meaningful with this relocation. You cannot relocate agencies just because you want to continue to perpetuate fraud and corruption.

Really true.
