“we are here to
discuss very passionately and sincerely on the projects to see how we can move
various projects that have been abandoned”
“Maybe as a result
of change of leadership and as a result of our own knowledge of how
procurements are done before, which we found them to be abnormal and we have
told the world that we are not here for witch-hunting”
“I’m not here to
beg anybody, I’m here with my lawyers, you either do it or leave it. I am not
interested on anything that you have done in the past, but what I am going to
do now, I will do it very well. CGC, I know you very well, I have given you
over a 100 billion contract in Abuja, and you have done it, the same thing with
engr. Eze, who was in charge of Bureau of Public Enterprises, and procurement
and due process”
“We are not EFCC,
if we are unable to agree, we will go somewhere because government is large.
You have the choice of doing it, if you don’t want to do it, leave it and pay
us our advance money that we paid you so that we can get other contractors to
do the job for us”
“regardless of what
happened in the past, we want to move forward, we will assure the people of
Bauchi state that we will not have abandoned projects”.
“After more than 10
years of conflict between non-state armed groups and the Nigerian military, the
situation is only getting worse
“ The conflict is
intensifying and the needs are massive. The United Nations estimates that there
are more than two million people who have been displaced from their homes due
to violence, and more than seven million who depend entirely on humanitarian
aid to survive.
The most serious
problem is that there are more than a million people living in areas controlled
by non-state armed groups – humanitarian organizations do not have access to
these areas, and the people living there do not receive any kind of aid at all.
“The conflict may
be nothing new, but this crisis is extreme, and it is happening right now; in
our projects we witness the impact that it has on human beings.”
“This is a dream
come true and we thank God that we are witnessing this great transformation of
the orientation camp.”
“As a government, I
believe that we should improve on the facilities that we have in this
orientation camp as we are collaborating with the Federal Government in
different ways.
“Just few days ago,
on Monday, a Court of Appeal was inaugurated in Asaba, I am happy that we have
the Court of Appeal and it has been described as apparently, one of the best in
the country.
“These partnerships
are in the best interest of our people and in the best interest of our state
and here at Issele-Uku is the first point of call for members of the NYSC who
are posted to Delta State.
“The graduates
numbering thousands who are posted to Delta, apparently, will work in Delta
State and will impact on the state and its people, so, it is only human that we
make them comfortable to bring out their best to serve the state and our
nation.
“I appreciate the
work of the contractors that worked here to see that these projects are
completed for inauguration today; it is my hope and expectations that when we
leave in 2023, this NYSC Camp will be totally a changed environment that will
be comfortable for the Corps members.
“It gladdens my
heart that we are here to inaugurate a 700-capacity headspace hostel for Corps
members; four blocks of twin 3-bedroom flats and several other projects; in the
next couple of weeks, construction work will commence on the internal roads, a
multi-purpose hall and we shall also, construct a hostel to be named after
Chief (Sir) B.S.C. Elue, former Deputy Governor, Delta State”
