Second and final thread for the day will be #PMBinOgun.

PMB has arrived and done the first two commissionings (of a total of 5), of the Ijebu Ode-Mojoda-Epe Road, and the new Gateway City Gate, at the Sagamu Interchange.

@dabiodunMFR

“Mr. President, may I now provide a panoramic view of the five projects that have been scheduled for commissioning today.” — @dabiodunMFR

“The Gateway City Gate where we are now, for instance, is an iconic monument that not only beautifies the environment, but a reflection of the new approach to governance in the State. It symbolizes the convergence, harmony & unity amongst all the groups & sections of the State.”

@dabiodunMFR

“The Ijebu Ode-Epe Road, a Federal Road, is another strategic arterial road that links the Lekki / Epe corridor of Lagos State to the eastern corridor of Ogun State at Ijebu-Ode.” — @dabiodunMFR

@dabiodunMFR

“With this road, socio-economic activities in the South East and South South zones of our country will receive a boost through the linkage of the road to Sagamu-Benin Expressway for easier access by motorists to Lagos, Nigeria’s largest economy.” — @dabiodunMFR

@dabiodunMFR

“In the same vein, the Sagamu Interchange-Abeokuta Road is 42km in length and is the main arterial road that leads to our Capital City. It is a dual carriageway with streetlights, median and other road furniture.” — @dabiodunMFR

“Mr. President, two of our many housing projects have been completed and ready for you to commission. Our affordable Housing Estate at Kobape in Abeokuta comprises of 526 units of 2 and 3-bedroom bungalows. The King’s Court at Oke-Mosan is a middle/high income Housing Estate…”

“I wish to specially thank you for the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan new standard railway gauge. The longest part of the rail-line is in Ogun State with 5 stations, the most in any State. We also thank Mr. President for the ongoing reconstruction of Lagos-Ibadan expressway.”

@dabiodunMFR

“There are many [other projects] at different stages of completion. These include the first phase of the Ogun State Int’l Agro Cargo Airport at Ilishan, and Atan-LUSADA-Agbara expressway which leads to Agbara Industrial Estate, industrial nerve center…” — @dabiodunMFR #PMBinOgun

@IbeKachikwu

(1/2) As of 2015, NNPC was owing more than $6 billion in unpaid Cash Calls for JVs with IOCs. @IbeKachikwu negotiated a nice discount & repayment plan. @DrMKBaru (RIP) and @MKKyari have continued the payments. As of Q4 2020, more than $3 billion of post-discount arrears paid off.

(2/2)

Mobil’s arrears fully cleared: google.com/amp/s/mobile.r…

Outstanding ones include arrears owed SPDC, CNL, TOTAL and NAOC. All will be paid.

[Even during the years of $100 oil nobody thought it made sense to keep up with Cash Call obligations or clear outstandings]
