The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, has said President Muhammadu Buhari has not allocated a single oil block since he came into office.

Kachikwu said when the president eventually starts, South-south indigenes would have their share.

At a town hall meeting in Uyo, the Akwa-Ibom State capital, organised by the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, a Nigerian asked the minister why oil block allocations favoured the North rather than the South-south, where most oil blocks are located.



Answering, Kachikwu, said this was not the doing of President Buhari, emphasising that the president would follow due process in allocation of oil blocks when the time comes.

[b]Kachikwu also disagreed with the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on the establishment and maintenance of the Maritime University in Akwa-Ibom.

“I disagree with the minister of transport. Any facility in the South-south, we should work towards developing it, I don’t care the circumstance. It is not my business whether land was valued at 19 or 10 million,” he said responding to Amaechi’s claim that land for the university was valued at N13 billion.

“That has nothing to do with development of infrastructure. As far as I know, so much has already gone into that, so much fiscal asset has been developed. We are not going to throw away the baby and the bath water.

“We’ll deal with the issues but the university will be developed. If he (Amaechi) doesn’t want it in maritime, I will take it in Petroleum.

“On the issue of negotiations, again I disagree with him. There’s no theatre in the world where conflicts are being resolved through battle. It doesn’t matter who’s right, who’s wrong.”[/b]

kachichukwu my role model .


FTC .. I Dedicate this FTC to the struggle(though i dont know which struggle )

it's dawn on dem

We've got to disagree to agree. Life goes on.

All we want and crave for is a better Nigeria. Just do the needful in making that becoming a reality when we're still alive. Nah beg we dey beg.

Conflict of ideas produce positive results

bros abeg since wen?

It seems Ibe Kachikwu is the only Semi-sane person in buhari's FEC.

Ibe Kachikwu has a point. The project may be corruption-ridden but that does not mean that it is not beneficial to the ordinary citizens.

Jail the thieves and let the university serve its purpose

This is a person that has his people at heart, and not that looter called amaechi.

Wow!!! It's quite obvious Amaechi is angry with the SS don't know why at least. But why would u go against your people, dis is something a northerner can never do.

hmmm, this man is a wise man, but I will start taking him serious only when he ask for his daughter sacked from CBN,



after all, she wasn't there by merit.

Kachikwu on point once again.. Dude seem to be the only bright light among the noise makers in buhari's cabinet... I wonder what is wrong with the rabbit of Ubiama. Always having issues with projects in the South South. Someone needs to call him to order. We all know he is a stooge that has been planted to serve the northern interest but he needs to be careful. After canceling the one in delta state, the fool still has the guts to be saying this thrash. This is the sole reasons I love the hausas and the average northerner in general. They will rather die than go against any project that will benefit their people... But down here in the South South, just for a bowl of garri, men will kill their mothers

Yea, it's allowed

What is the "news" in this one nau.

What is wrong with two colleagues disagreeing in a meeting to collectively agree

These people self.

That is the Ameachi I know,Confirmed enemy of Niger Delta. Soon his true colour will be known to Nigerians.

In so far as it yields positive results, we'll welcome more arguments.

Minister of Petroleum should take up that Maritime University to execute it for posterity sake. Since the ministry of Transport has too many projects on its plate already

Nigerian Journalist, Journalizing Thru Their Reports, Am Sure Ibe Nd Amaechi Clubbed 2gether Dat Same Nyt, Making It Luk Like Dey Hav D Masses At Heart.

Great minds discuss ideas(what argument can solve the challenge at hand irrespective of who is giving it). Small minds discuss people (which tribe and religion the person that says what is from)

Trust some people they have turned this into who loves our people more than the other btw the two

I am awake

AMAECHI THE TRAITOR!!!!!

amaechi talks with out thinking,a confusionist that lacks decorum. My only anger with him is that he is from my home state,and keeps on disgracing us(chibuike .R. Amaechi with a yoruba mother) you are cursed indeed

It's so refreshing to know there are sane people like Kachhikwu in this cabinet who would not mislead the president in a bid to score a cheap political point. Amaechi makes it look like the funding for the university would be from his personal pocket. Posterity will indeed judge many.

Very intelligent n sound man......
His tory will certanily judge amaechi if he doesnt develop dat maritime university cos politics....

Very intelligent n sound man......
History will certanily judge amaechi if he doesnt develop dat maritime university cos politics.

If I say Amaechi is a TOUT, somebody will say I am wailing. But sure he is.

Amaechi no sabi anything...

Amachi sef

k

“I disagree with the minister of transport. Any facility in the South-south, we should work towards developing it,

I might not like Kachikwu but he is still a tad better than the great betrayer Amaechi.
