commends Hon. Dakuku Peterside’s walk-out at Works Ministry’s Budget Defence
We
have learnt with shock and disbelief, of the zero allocation to Rivers State in
2014 Budget of the Federal Ministry of Works. What this means is that Rivers
will not receive any Federal Government project this year!
No
one is deceived by the claim of the Minister of Works, Architect Mike
Onolememen, while defending the Ministry’s budget on Tuesday before the House
of Representatives Committee on Works, that neither the Federal Government nor
his ministry was at war with Rivers State. If that is the case, then what could
have warranted the omission of Rivers State from the list of States that will
enjoy Federal Government presence in terms of capital project execution this
year? If this is not war, then what is it?>>>
