PRIORITIZING TRANSPORTATION IN DELTA STATE; A BLEND OF UDUAGHAN'S PRAGMATIC LEADERSHIP

#UduaghanScoreCard




TRANSPORTATION has been A Major factor in Man’s existence giving credence to need for mobility to enhance Economic Growth & PEACEFUL co-existence.
Transportation Network in Delta State has been a shamble of itself in the past decades thus making movement of people and goods a nightmare in the State. Hitherto, this surge has no doubt caused a menace to Economic Growth and sustenance.

The Coming of the Uduaghan’s Administration gave much priority attention in addressing this trend. The Transportation Transformation in Delta State was made manifest in the renowned and Ancient DELTA LINE Transport Scheme, with the purchase of State of the Art Buses, and an overhaul in its Management setting and infrastructure.
The intervention in Transportation became prominent in 2008 with the establishment of the Delta State Urban Mass Transit Scheme and the launching of 168 Brand New Toyota Corolla Cars by Governor Uduaghan. Some of the Toyota set of Cars were given out to interested Licenced Drivers as part of Government Empowerment Programme;
others were allocated to the Delta Line Transport Company for commercial purposes.

In 2009 and 2010, the State Government further increased the fleet with the purchase and commissioning of 100 and 200 Brand New Hiace Buses. This holistic approach in Transportation should be recognized as a major infrastructure development, a critical component of the 3-Point Agenda of the Uduaghan Administration. It is also a demonstration of the UDUAGHAN'S total commitment to opening up the State to attract Tourists and Investors.

By the acquisition of 800 Vehicles, comprising Hiace Buses, Toyota Taxi Cars and "MARCOPOLO" BUSES The Governor has stemmed the hitherto crisis that greeted the Transport Sector during the deregulation of the Petroleum Downstream Sector early 2012.

Similarly, MARINE Transportation, hundreds of 19U SPEED Boats have been acquired, while Several Jetties have been Built in the Coastal RIVERINE Communities. Over 21 of such Landing Jetties were provided between 2008 and 2010.
The Delta Publics, who are mainly the beneficiaries, have shown great enthusiasm and gratitude to their Loving Governor "The Man Wey Sabi Road" for this intervention, particularly, with the regulated Fare. The downward Review of the fares has had tremendous impact in the State as it has put private operators in check.

At the last count, Governor Udaughan Administration has procured 800 Vehicles comprising Toyota Taxi Cabs, 500 Hiace buses, 60 Marcopolo Buses, 10 Tata Buses and 130 Boats deployed to various Communities in the state. This has immensely improved the Transport Sector and reduced the stress associated with daily movement of Deltans.

STATE OF THE NATION: Nat'l Orientation Agency Has Failed Nigerians_Max Gbanite.

NIGERIANS DESERVE 2 KNOW WHAT GOVT IS DOING...


Speaking on the State of the Nation as regards the Security of Lives and Properties, Dr. Max Gbanite (A Strategic Security Consultant) has blamed the Leadership of the National Orientation Agency for inadequacy and gross inefficiency in the discharge of its duties to adequately inform Nigerians.

Stressing further, Dr. Max lamented the high level of ignorance and misinformation in the country which has aided insecurity to thrive. "Majority of the People are not carried along, and they don't know what the President or the Government is doing" to appreciate & support Government

Dr. Max made this known as a guest to the Channels Television’s breakfast show Sunrise Daily on the State of the Nation, as he also faulted poor funding and corruption in the Military.

Stressing that, from the 2013 Budget, the Ministry of Finance has only given the Security Agency 20% of the Funds to Secure the Nation. He further said Nigerians have failed the Security Agencies by sending them to fight insurgents and Militant Groups without equipping them. He made it known that “We have also helped in increasing the hatred of The Military, The Law Enforcement Agencies giving confidence to Community to feel that the military and law enforcement agencies are GAME that can be killed at any given time and that is not acceptable”.

Mr Gbanite stated that the Nigerian Democracy has survived over the Years “because of the maturity being exhibited by the current Military who are highly intellectual and have come to accept that its only Democracy that can keep NIGERIA Together.”
