BAYELSA TO LINK 3 SENATORIAL ZONES BY ROAD

August 26, 2016 AdminLeave a comment

The Bayelsa Government, on Friday, restated its commitment to link the three senatorial zones in the state by road, to accelerate economic growth.

Mr Lawrence Ehwrudjakpo, the state Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure Development, said this in Kaiama while inspecting some ongoing projects in the area.

Ehwrudjakpo expressed satisfaction with the ongoing Sagbama/Ekeremor road project in Bayelsa West-Senatorial zone, which he described as one of the key projects in the state.

“Yes, there is no money in the state, but there are still some key projects we cannot do without. We will still be working with the available resources to ensure that our state is developed.

“On the state of internal roads, we are still putting efforts to make movement of vehicles easier.

“Re-construction work is ongoing at old assembly link-road, Opolo-Elebele, Igbogene glory-land drive among others.

“The Igbogene glory-land drive is the most vital road because that is the entrance to the state; so, you cannot say that you want to make your state a Dubai and all the roads leading to it are deplorable.

“We will provide the needed infrastructure for the people and create an enabling environment for business,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that some of the projects inspected by the commissioner included the new Governor/Deputy Governor’s Office, House Officer’s quarter, FMC and a Helipad.

Others were the Old Assembly road, Glory-land drive, Ecumenical centre, Opolo-eleble road and new NYSC permanent orientation camp.

LOCALLY-ASSEMBLED VEHICLES TO GET SPEED LIMITERS

As part of efforts to reduce the rate of speed-related accidents in Nigeria, the National Automotive Development and Design Council has directed all vehicle manufacturing plants in the country to install the speed-limiting device in their vehicles.
A deadline for compliance on the installation of the device in all vehicles being imported into the country has also been given.
AUTO POLICY CAUSING HIGH MARITIME JOB LOSSES – EXPERT

In a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, a member of the Presidential Taskforce on Customs Reform, Mr. Lucky Amiwero, has called on the Federal Government to review the policy, due to its negative impact on the economy.
He said, “The impact associated with the implementation of the auto policy is as follows: the diversion of cars carrying vessel to neighbouring West African ports as a result of high tariff on imported vehicles; and the reduction of the maritime workforce by 70 per cent, which affects mostly licensed customs agents, importers, dealers and Nigerians abroad.”
UNDERSTANDING THE HISSING & SQUEAKY SOUND FROM TRUCKS

Ever wondered why trucks and buses make funny squeaking and hissing sounds? Well, the squeaking is the air escaping after braking and the hissing sound is the automatic bypass safety valves at work, ensuring the air pressure remains at the correct level.
Since a main advantage of air-brakes systems is their ability to use air to operate, the compressor is constantly kicking on and kicking off to refill the reservoirs with pressurized air. When the compressor builds too much air, the valves open, producing that loud hiss which probably gets some of us wondering…What the heck is leaking..lol!
SAFETY TIPS! COPING WITH POTHOLES

Hitting potholes can throw your vehicle\'s front end out of alignment. If you feel your car \"pulling\" during driving, that\'s a clue that you could have a problem.

Check the tread on your tyres. Uneven tread wear can be a sign of misalignment. If you hit a severe pothole, have the vehicle\'s alignment and tyre balance checked.

When you hit a pothole you can damage your tyre and/or the metal wheel of your vehicle. Keeping your tyres properly inflated will help reduce damage from potholes and other road hazards.

The impact of potholes on tyres increases dramatically with speed and can cause hidden, internal damage that could lead to tyre failure weeks, or even months, later. It\'s best to avoid potholes entirely, but if that\'s not possible, don\'t brake during the pothole impact. Instead, apply brakes before hitting a pothole and release them just before impact. Braking during the impact sets up the tyre and wheel assembly for a \"solid hit\" against the edge of the hole. Less severe damage occurs when a tyre is rolling than when it is skidding over a hole during braking.
