#AskAjuri Thread On East-West Road Completion:

Very Important Question! Thank You.

The East-West Road Is One Of The Five Special Intervention Projects Of President @MBuhari Under The Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF). Funds Paid To Contractors From Source.
The East-West Road Was Recently Handed Over To The Handlers Of The PIDF From The Ministry Of N/Delta Affairs To Ensure Its Completion By 2023. FGN Has Already Approved N100BN For Sections 1—4 Of The Road While Section 5 Is Being Funded By A Counterpart Fund-Backed Chinese Loan
At The Rate Of $500m USD. All Told, Federal Government Interventions In The N/Delta Include The N120BN Bonny-Bodo Road Which Will Connect The Gas Hub Of Nigeria To The Mainland. Nigerians Have A Lot To Expect By 2023 And They Should Hold Us Accountable In These Efforts.

#AskAjuri Important #Thread On Nigeria's Current Debt Position:

I Am So Glad That Someone Asked Me This Question — Smart One!

DMO: Nigeria's Current Debt Stands At N25.7 Trillion Or $84.26BN.

Questions Arise: Are We At Risk? How Much Does Does Each Government Account For?
Please Fact-Check Me, Patriots!

In 2010, Our National Debt Was: $35 Billion USD.

By 2014, Our National Debt Had Ballooned To $67.7 Billion USD.

That's $32 Billion Dollars Of Debt Added DURING AN OIL BOOM With High Revenues And No Commensurate Infrastructure/Investment..
From 2014 To Date, Nigeria Has Added $18 Billion Dollars And That Leaves Us At The Current $84.2 Billion USD.

Far Less Money Added To The Debt At A Time Of Recession & Low Revenues And We Still Spent The Highest Capital Release On Infrastructure Around Nigeria In History.

#AskAjuri Very Important Thread On New Job Creation Initiatives (2015-2019):

Thank You For This Question, Tony!

Let's Start With Job Creation: Aside From The Expansion Of Our N-Power Scheme From Our Current 500,000+ To One Million By 2023, Access To Capital Is Critical...
Which Is Why We Are Expanding All Of Our Programs & Adding New Ones. The GEEP Scheme (Tradermoni, Etc) Which Has Impacted Over 1.7m Petty Traders Is Now Being Expanded Into The "PeopleMoni Bank." This Bank Will Offer Larger Interest-Free Loans To 10 Million Nigerian SME Owners Of
Up To N1m. On An Escalating Credit Scale. Upon Faithful Repayment Of N50k, N100k, N250k, N500k, N1m Will Be Made Available. We Believe That This Large-Scale Investment In Our People Will Enable Them To Expand Their Operations & Hire More Nigerians. Multiply The Impact Off Of 10m.

I wasn't inclined to tweet about #Kashmir, but after seeing the amount of disinformation, I am going to.

I'm back in the newsroom today after a week in Srinagar.

Things are NOT normal.

People are seething. Kashmir is likely a tinderbox waiting for a spark.
When I got there on Monday, just hours after Article 370 was abrogated, the city was locked down.

I walked a km to find the nicest auto-wallah in the land.

He didn't have a clue of what had happened, why his city had overnight turned into ghost town -- blanketed with security.
Later that evening, we spoke to @shahfaesal in his living room.

Since satellite TVs were still working, news had trickled in.

“We might see an eruption when the guard is down."

“People are taking it as an act of humiliation.”

Then, the pelting began.
