$500m Chinese Loan: Reps Committee Grills Amaechi, Finance Ministry

[@stanleyjosiah6779]

[@abrahammohammed8663]

Mr. Chairman is very intelligent. More of you Sir.

[@breakfastworship8541]

He's indeed intelligent and a step ahead of them..

[@moses_a4253]

Ameachi is just quick about collecting this loan without the house critically analyzing the info. on the loan and previous one as this could potentially lead to serious debt and detriment to our sovereignty to China in the nearest future. I just think Amaechi is hiding something and China has serious selfish dealings because their clause to African contracts is ambiguous & sometimes unfair (interests & compulsory use of the materials and manpower). THE TRUTH IS AFRICA IS UNWISE.

[@Rymzo1]

31:12 this is a very good start to rebuilding Nigeria and accountability if it's sustained we would observe a huge change with regards to infrastructural development and growth within the next 10 years, it's time to fix our act and Buhari is not joking around with these guys anymore, he has a legacy to protect and he means business. Nigerians have a huge role to play here with regards to following up on these projects using the transparent Nigeria website and reviewing government expenditure up until we start having government officials who are there to serve not steal. The president's issue is that people are getting paid and the work is not done. How can you have paid 6 million dollars in 10 years for a $500million loan facility which has 10 more years till maturity. Lastly we should have more Nigerians employed and trained to implement these projects in the interest of sustainability. We'll be back in two weeks.

[@theafricanwahala]

Amechi is a very arrogant individual with zero solutions to Nigeria's problems. He's been a 2 time governor of Rivers which explains why the oil rich State is still at the bottom level it's been. Now he's a federal minister whom is not still not providing solutions to the sector he leads. He is your average Nigerian politician with zero solutions and full arrogance. He once said "I got into politics because of unemployment". We need to take to the streets and get a mega protest on to ensure these criminals are deposed and charged for their crimes against humanity. It has been 60 years.

[@omobanedonaija6966]

Nigeria! This part of the PROBLEM! I am beginning to think that all these public questioning are shows by commission to further confuse citizens and ultimately, the funds are gone and never to be revisited again. This pattern of BS are being done intentionally just for SHOW. Now, this is how you should be auditing any issues concerning funding, money, etc. There is what we in the auditing profession call AUDIT TRAILS. The money is received, registered and accounted for at the ministry of finance. There should be SEPARATE AGENCY OR AGENCIES EMPOWERED WITH SELECTING AND GIVING CONTRACTS. Contractors are selected, vied for due to past history of doing honest work and they must be made accountable to compliance with contract or face the pain of imprisonments. There also must be visual survey and surveillance of these contractors by separate sets of contract auditors, etc. Funding are disbursed according to percentages of work completed. Employees/ workers salaries are on constant reviews, etc. To cut all these short, AT ANY POINT OR LEVEL THE MATH DOES NOT ADD UP, ALL INVOLVED AT THE LEVEL FRAUD IS DETERMINED AND DETECTED MUST BE PUNISHED TO INLUDE FORENSIC AUDIT OF ALL INDIVIDUAL INVOLVED AND ASSETS FORFEITURES TO THE GOVERNMENT! All these are done BY SIMPLE AUDIT TRAIL AND DOCUMENTATIONS AND ACCOUNTABILITY! Read on SARBANE OXLEY ACT OF THE USA. Again all these shows are just to further manipulate the people of Nigeria and you all know what you are doing. Wuruwuru people!!!!!

If you are spending public money you have a duty to respond explain how, what and when it was spent. The only criticism i have is a small one. Everyone should be seated and if there are not enough seats they should not be in the room. The Chair did a great job and was not intimidated. A fair, credible, compitent and professional Chair.

Nigeria is a take,take,take and spend,spend,spend society .Everything needs to be ready made .About looking the part as opposed to being the part and foreign countries see this as a weakness and use it to take advantage of the people they've distracted with "money to go and spend". Nigeria isn't a build,build,build country. Countries that build internally are the powerful nations today.They build internally the "substance" they admire or respect in others. Nigeria is not a bunch of farmers with a big houses in the middle of a derelict, degenerating villages.what happens when this spending money ceases from abroad?. because these forward thinking foreign countries are working towards a way in future when they wont have to pay their way to acquire anything. A country that is too busy "spending" will be caught off guard.
