The Presidency, Sunday, reviewed its performance in the outgoing year and gave
itself a pass mark, saying that it recorded
unprecedented feat despite distractions from
the opposition.

It boasted that during the year major policies were made and key projects executed for the
good of Nigerians.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on
Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, gave the
presidential score cared in a statement made
available to Vanguard in Abuja.

Okupe noted that contrary to impressions
being created by vocal leaders of the
opposition, Nigeria under President Goodluck
Jonathan has moved significantly forward in
many sectors than it was in 2011.

He said that the transformation which had
taken place in the economy, transportation,
agriculture, power and other critical sectors
were the routes which all developed Nations
had taken before now but which unfortunately
had not been taken by Nigeria before now.

According to Dr Okupe “It is an incontrovertible fact that Nigeria under Jonathan has reduced its food imports by about forty percent and increased its local production of rice, cassava, sorghum, cotton and cocoa in percentages ranging from 25 to 56 in the last two years.
“For the first time since independence, the
Nigerian agricultural sector is attracting
unprecedented Foreign Direct Investment. Over
the past two years, the sector has attracted $
4 billion in private sector executed letters of
commitment to invest in agricultural value
chains, from food crops, to export crops,
fisheries and livestock.

“The number of private sector seed companies
grew from 10 to 70 within one year. Over $ 7
billion of investments from Nigerian businesses
have been made to develop new fertilizer
manufacturing plants, which will make Nigeria
the largest producer and exporter of fertilizers
in Africa. It is also noteworthy that agricultural
lending as a share of total bank lending has
risen from two percent to six percent in two
years”

“On the power sector reforms initiated by
President Goodluck Jonathan in 2010, the
senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs
explained that the major component of the
reform which is the privatization of the
generation and distribution power infrastructure was successfully accomplished in
2013 thus putting Nigeria on a sure path of
steady power supply in a no distant future.
Okupe explained that with the completion of
this process and the 10 NIPP projects, Nigeria
would for the first time in history move away
from vertically integrated state-owned and
very poorly managed electricity industry to a
modern private sector led fully regulated
market with the right incentives capable of
attracting accelerated new investments to kick start the re-industrialization of Nigeria.

The lizard said to itself that if no one will commend it for surviving the fall from the top of the great iroko tree, it will commend itself....that is why it nods its head in self adulation always....

A Presidency that scored F9 in 2013 still praising herself

Can the Presidency name one promise made to Nigerians at the beginning of the year that she fulfilled in 2013?
