Senate Grills Babatunde Fashola 

Mr Babatunde Fashola.... i commended you for your professional responses to all question from senators. You are a real MAN of Honour .. KUDOS... well spoken

The only outstanding nominee that receives no single cheer through out his presentation. Excellent talks and clarity of thoughts! Kudos Fashola

This man is intelligent 👌 He has the capacity, I'm always looking forward to hear from him and when I do I listen with rapt attention. I learn.

Compared to other ministers, this man had his facts, numbers, and seems to be hands-on. I was highly impressed with his composure, the manner in which he answered his questions intelligently without an assistant. Give him his due! 3 ministries such as housing, power and roads are too much for one man. The opposition failed to grill him if they had anything on him. As a Lagosian who does not suffer fools gladly, he was impressive and l pray that every returning minister is treated the same way💕💕💕.

He has the capacity of been our Next president

It is not doubt that this man Fashola is an intelligent man.if not the kind of politics we play, he should be our next President I so moved

Fashola is a brain box of knowledge and good product to be a minister again.. his analysis is more than a message and respond but a brilliant lecturer.. breaking down the questions alone was amazing part and deserve to be a minister and future president

Mr Fashola is a man of much more integrity , values, virtue with outstanding knowledge of his portfolio in this senate grills that even with an individual with no inkling of working as a minister , Fashola gives a concise explanation & teaching for all to learn from & i give him all my support to continue with the good works he is known for & he has proved himself in his past performance as can be vouched for by the state he did govern before. So Mr Fshola kindly continue with all that God has entrusted to you as u have always done & posterity will speak for you , may God almighty continue to strengthen you in your works

Why can't we have a president in the person of Fashola? Just asking...

Fashola ended up grilling the grillers. Outstanding super minister.

I supported Buhari because he recognised this man's genius and commitment to Nigeria's progress. May you and your family be blessed for giving hope to our country Nigeria

Fashola, lai wo iwe....... respect SAN

Brilliant and Trusted.

Fashola is very brilliant but I believe that three ministries is too much for him. He should be given ministry of power only so that the issues of power can be solved once and for all.

Fashola, Next Nigerian President!!!

This man is highly cerebral.. Some senators were so amazed that they dozed off... I pray he has an enabling environment to perform better in his second time. No doubt, he is an asset! His presentation was like he was reading from the screen!

A Man of Inestimable worth. BRF

The man who should be President

Very unmistakably detailed and Fashola like indeed. Nothing do you, Oga.

Our next president, we need more people like him in politics

simple and short in case Fasholas grammer was too much ... back to the senators ...we need adequate funding and more sensible laws for projects and infrastructures

The questions are asked and answered professionally wow that money is making them smart

Fashola is Nigeria Obama Simply Genius

This is a man that worth becoming the president of a country Nigeria. But our useless politicians will not let that be and the power taste northerners. I have seen this in you since when you are governor. When you are ready to become the president, I will start voting again

It's January 2024. Days before the launch of his book - NIGERIAN PUBLIC DISCOURSE If there is a BRF leadership school of thought, one should invest in being its disciple. He apeaks convincingly about what he believes, acknowledges and doesn't cover up his ignorance but most most importantly, connect 100% to his job and every details required to discharge his duties effectively. Gov. Fashola is a quality leader and a role model for aspiring politicians and well-meaning Nigerians

Thank you honorable minister of works power and housing for highlighting the need for those calling for improvement of of works and power is funding

thank you sen. Elisha Abbo 4 remaining him about Michika madagali bridges & mubi

This man Fashola has the capacity and capability to lead this country... I am not talking of ruling like some people do. Please let us do our country the best service by bringing credible people into power. Please consider industrial roads too.

if Nigerians are sincere to themselves they should see the reasons why they should restructure that country to a true federalism so that regions can take care of their infrastructures.

Fashola...........Presidential material!

soon to be President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria someday.

*Mr nominee"? What kind of people do we elect into these seats, 😏

Roger Okorocha's question was good How much do Nigeria needs to fix the power sector?

Well informed Minister.

Brilliant

This was his confirmation exercises for his se ond term. He overwhelmed them of course. I am suspecting he might be nominated as an an ambassador this time around.

With respect to the issues of roads, I do not believe there is enough competition among the road construction companies in Nigeria. Watching Julius Berger/RCC construct roads in ways that wouldn't be allowed in developed countries is sad. And yet, they keep winning contracts without being blacklisted or given stricter rules and oversight. Road construction companies should be at their very best to keep a tight competition and thereafter fight for the award of contracts but what we have is money changing hands. Power generation should be zoned and have guided investments/regulations. We should not by any standards be where we are right now. It is just absurd and unbelievable that we are where we are. KUDOS to BRF.

WoW 😯 Next président of Nigeria 🇳🇬 brillant ✨ Sénate

A real man always stand by the truth no matter what.

Former Hon. Minister Fashola knows his onions. He is highly cerebral, have his facts, and has a witty plus intelligent way, without being churlish, of answering questions. But, I feel those three (3) ministries are quite overwhelming for one man in a key country of sub-Saharan Africa -- a region with over USD 1 trillion infrastructural deficit.

Woooooooooww Baba Fasho Today you earned my respect for life

I think ROCHA OKOROCHA is the only senator nailed the point.. POWER POWER POWER. when we have these 24hrs ELECTRICITY in place. every other things will fall in place. Secondly, the appointment is too big for only one person. if we need a good and quick result on infrastructure.

Great super minister Fashola

We must get the power sector right this time and have electricity none stop...24/7 , 365 days as they have it in Dubai and other countries

What state of Nigeria needed now is funding for them to able to have stable power and infrastructure

A brilliant performer well done senator Fashola

All these comments praising Babatunde Fashola is very well said and I do think he is a well-articulated man however those of us who the light will go after they press the send or enter button know themselves.

Well deserved re nomination .

This guy sounded legit even if we do not actively see the results

If we listen to Fashola, then will we know where are problem start from, if 120 contaners of electric equipment been abandon for decades in Nigeria port, definitely nothing was done during Obasanjo and Jonathan gov concerning electricity during their regime. And Obasanjo/Atiku gov can not give account of $16b vote for electric. And we still glamour for them to come back Na wa for Nigerians o

Let the minister supply all the states prepared metres thanks

Rightly said..the laws in Nigeria have held us down in one place, for the past fifty years we have not been able to fix our electricity . Why do we budget billions year in year out yet we cannot move from point A to B....It is time to Nationalize the power sector again and hand over to Fashola..then we can generate at least 50000 to 70000MW in the next four years.......

Tested and Trusted 👌👌👏👏👏👏

The man seems to have presented a textbook rendition of names of Nigerian roads and markets and towns, without any mention of even one performance metric. Yet people seem so mesmerized and are clapping here! Naija for talk!! Lol.

Buhari should give the position of minister of works and housing to Ambode. That guy can build.

I find it so disturbing with the moving about of people, can't they be professional for once, there can be break session instead of this moving, interviews like this is important that is why the nominee kept on repeating his point. A budget amount will be assigned to a ministery but they get less and every senate wants there roads be done. The law policies also is a thing,you can't eat your cake and have it. IF this was how other nominees were thrilled would have been satisfying. Fashola came to educate every1 in the house, He is a great man.

Lots of senators spoke about roads, nobody mentioned rails. True federalism is the answer because, each state and region would be responsible for their own resources and use the monies for the various projects as needed. This hand-out from the centre is unsustainable. The government is borrowing trillions of naira (dollars) to fund the budget! This is not good!

remi tinubu even if your constituents are qualified, they should go and apply like the children of the people who dont know a senator. Say no to nepotism

Please make Fashola the Minister of Justice that's where his expertise lies.

Fashola and keyamo really impressed me. Fashola for next president of Nigeria.

All the comments praising Fashole are over hyped, i guess most Nigerian aren't used to individuals who can speak in an articulate manner. The man has performed averagely at the very best, after 4 years of been Minister he articulately listed the problems faced, but the solutions implemented are just not good enough. Hit the like button if you agree.

There is no discipline in this legislative house (senate); see the number of individuals walking aimlessly around both the junior staff and senators. It didn't show orderliness and sends out a negative picture to the public that Nigeria lawmakers and the staff refused to be disciplined and they are bad examples to the nation and the entire world. Very rowdy session every time, with little or no sign of seriousness in them. They are bunch of jokers only interested in feathering their nests. A big disgrace to the Nation these lots (senators) except few of them.

Our human capital export from Lagos, May God continue to guide you aright . Meanwhile, I think more still need to be done on housing sir.

Why is Fashola looking so old and worn out... na the work?

Good murren and Nigeria Spread this news on the 15th nice months does a big protection this president of Nigeria must go hatless preguste news

Nigeria infrastructure deficit is a major issue and the whole budget of Nigeria in a year is not enough for road construction alone how much more health, housing, education, railway etc I still blame past leaders for not doing well and allowed corruption to set us backward. Well its not too late but painful!

The Future President of Nigeria.

Man like Fashola.

Each state must generate at least 5000 MW of electricity

Old ideas , old brain

Please post the screening session of Gbemi Saraki

I swear if they cut through all these bs recognitions and congratulations, this video would be 30 mins

This potfolio is the most critical in Nigeria.

Good name is better than rubies Pro. 22:1

Nigeria is gone forever when I see people praising Fashola here. And I wonder what a lawyer is doing in Power, work and housing a ministry that is purely Engineering. No wonder all we hear from him is complain complain complain and shouting for more money. No one iota of thinking outside the box! I dont blame him he is a bloody lawyer what does he no about latest and trending researches in electricity generation, transmission and distribution.

I trust this man

Rubber stamp senators

Let all this people go.ok we need capable.hands thet have not been soiled . Ministry of power they owe light and u left it better ?????

While very few of these senators like Ekweremmadu think Nigeria, a whole lot of others think their individual states --- that's the difference between a Nigerian or a Staterian!

We have more orators than leaders. We are still talking about roads at this time. Any ways,i celebrate your quantum cerebral wealth. But I must say that result speaks for itself. I wonder why Nigeria is yet to see steady power supply in different locations in the country. What happened to the prepaid metres? These Rigmaroles will take us no way. Reduce Fashola' work load and get other hands. The president and the NASS remain the engine of a responsible economy and that's where the problem of Nigeria is. So, where are all the recovered loots in dollars and hundreds of millions hhhhm.... Every persons has mentioned capital issues.

Most of the questions are sectional. Rochas asked a salient question.

Mr Babatunde Fashola why Chinese Loan? if Diezani Alison-Madueke can steal so much why are u borrowing? What happened to Bello Abba Mohammed, of diverting $1.5m (£1m) that was meant to buy arms for soldiers fighting Islamist Boko Haram militants?

Talk and Talk but No light. It’s only in Nigeria u see citizen applaud stupidity cause they answer questions with English

What has become of the Oweto-Loko bridge?

Nigeria main problem is not funding but management and corruption! Ministry of works have maintenance units to keep the roads usable, but they do almost nothing while their equipment get rusted and the road kills Nigerians. By the time contracted roads are done others previously finished are in terrible conditions. We need someone to get to the basics and fix these ministries before pouring billions to be wasted into them.

Rochas is right. Yes one can not handle 3 position over 200 Million intelligent people. It's not wise.. I believe that fashola is not the only Brilliant person in Nigeria by handling three positions in Nigeria. Even to handle one position in Nigeria is not good.

Humble thieves

You merit returned back as a minister to complete the good work you embarked upon . I hope with the 9th assembly co operations you stand the chance of ability to deliver on most of the project on going.

He's simply speaking to ignoramuses that have no idea how politics work and how policies affect the people, them included! Their only claim to political clout is how to steal funds. Imagine one of the senators bringing in investors to supply solar power at 11 cents when in Zimbabwe or Zambia (can't remember which) they were being supplied for 6 cents? And he had the guts to complain about the fact that his investors were frustrated? These bastards are each individually looking for additional ways to milk the average Nigerian whom they are supposed to be fighting for, like Nigerians are not being tasked enough? It is absolutely irritating to know that majority of these illiterates in the house have no idea about how the Nigerian constitution works. They passed the law allowing for the privatization of power distribution in Nigeria without knowing the implications? What a bunch of idiots!

Can we leave those sections section from law. Please let us think natural as human.

Who and who is screening each other here when all of them are corrupt? They should stop deceiving themselves, for we know all of them as looters, all Nigerians are not fools.

It is sometimes difficult to understand whether it is the problem of madness, blindness or just corruption and wickedness that is troubling this nation. Mad people, I pity the foolish masses.

Fashola needs a very good Engineering team.... The work load is quite much but very sound team... he will do better...

Are dey no longer taking bows & walk away, Rubber stamp gallor

Fashola Oooolee thief

Did anyone hear of ,nite mile section heavy deposits of coal ...... That's a big lie lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Rubish. These are bunch of smokers and illiterates, forget their profile.

All Nigerian government are crazy how can a politician a governor to talking about power that's why abakari I don't know what they called him lose his life in Germany where is all sinor workers in power to be the mister of power Amrobers government

you spoke very well. But talk talk no action leaving us in the same system. power outage in Nigeria today remains the same as it was ten yrs ago. so what is the difference? may be you blow more grammar than other.

LOOTERS
