RESCUE, REVIVE RESTORE: THE ATIKU PLAN FOR NIGERIA

-


H.E. Atiku Abubakar has unveiled his 12-point policy commitments for the 2027 presidential election, outlining his plans to Rescue, Revive and Restore Nigeria.

1. Restore targeted petroleum subsidies to reduce transportation costs and the rising cost of living.

2. Review NELFUND and consider debt forgiveness, based on the principle that Nigerian students deserve scholarships and affordable access to education, not crippling debt.

3. Implement the Supreme Court judgment on Local Government autonomy, ensuring funds due to local councils reach them directly and are used for grassroots development.

4. Revive and develop the Eastern maritime port corridor by restoring the operational capacity and competitiveness of the ports in Port Harcourt, Calabar and Warri, while advancing the development of the Uyo Deep Sea Port.

5. Reopen Nigeria’s land borders to revive legal cross-border businesses, support legitimate traders and facilitate regional commerce.

6. Review the electricity sector and reform the current tariff classification structure to end discriminatory billing and make electricity more affordable.

7. Empower young people and women through a proposed $10 billion startup and entrepreneurship financing programme, alongside greater inclusion in government appointments and economic opportunities.

8. Strengthen national security by recruiting additional personnel, improving their welfare, combating corruption within the security architecture, deploying modern intelligence and field technology, and deepening cooperation with neighbouring countries.

9. Return Nigerians to their farms by improving security and reducing production costs, while revitalising agriculture and expanding access to finance and other support for farmers and entrepreneurs.

10. Overhaul the healthcare sector through institutional reforms, expanding access to quality and affordable basic healthcare while addressing shortages, remuneration and the welfare of healthcare professionals.

11. Devolve powers to subnational governments by restructuring the Exclusive and Concurrent Legislative Lists, giving states and local governments greater responsibility and capacity, while creating a lean, efficient Federal Government focused on matters requiring national coordination.

12. Implement the Oronsaye Report to eliminate waste, duplication and institutional overlap, reduce opportunities for corruption, rationalise government agencies and improve efficiency, performance and service delivery.

The emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been greeted with excitement and optimism by millions of supporters across Nigeria and beyond. For many Nigerians, his emergence represents not just the candidacy of an experienced statesman, but the elevation of a leader whose life and public service have consistently demonstrated a commitment to education, human development, and national progress.

YOU ARE NOT BUHARI, YOU ARE TINUBU - Lauretta Onochie

-

YOU CANNOT TURN 2015 TO 2023. There is something increasingly confusing about the narrative being presented to Nigerians in the last few days. When President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office on 29th of May 2015, Nigeria was confronted by a genuine salary crisis at the state level. Twenty-seven out of the 36 states were unable to meet their salary obligations. Some workers had accumulated months of unpaid salaries. That is not folklore. It is not tale by the moonlight. It is part of Nigeria's documented history. Pres. Buhari spoke and agonised about it. The Nigerian Media, made headlines out of the issue.  The Buhari administration responded with an extraordinary financial intervention designed to help distressed states clear salary arrears. The relief package had several components: First, $2.1 billion from Nigeria LNG proceeds was shared through the Federation Account. Second, the Central Bank of Nigeria established a special intervention facility through which distressed states co...

GILBERT CHAGOURY, BOLA TINUBU'S FRIEND - "TOSIN ADEOTI

Gilbert Chagoury  On a hot afternoon in July 2004, Nigerian police officers waited beside a runway in the far northeastern corner of the country. The air shimmered above the tarmac. Somewhere beyond the horizon, a private jet was descending. The man inside it had not been home in years. His name had been spoken in whispers across courtrooms in Europe, inside Swiss banks, in the offices of investigators who believed that if they ever pulled this thread hard enough, an entire decade of theft would unravel. The jet touched down. Its wheels kissed Nigerian soil. Then, almost immediately, it lifted again. No handcuffs or need for explanations. Someone had tipped him off. Gilbert Chagoury disappeared into the sky. That image matters because it tells you everything about how power works in Nigeria. Power here does not work as an institution, or even as a constitution, but as a habit. Power here remembers its friends. Gilbert Chagoury was born in Lagos in 1946 to Lebanese immigrant parents...
