Only if Johnathan can solve electricity problems
you are correct. Its on course already and the roadmap is been followed diligently. No amount of sabotage by the enemies of the state can stop your wishes from coming to pass. Just exercise a little more patience. Remember the rot in the power sector is as old as creation itself.

Jonathan promises dividends of democracy in spite of distraction:

abuja – President Goodluck Jonathan, has said that his administration will continue to do the right things that would deliver democracy dividends to the people in spite of distractions from opposition.

He stated this on Thursday in Abuja at the 62nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“I reassure that we will carry on the mandate of the party based on our manifestoes so that no matter what anybody is saying, things will be on ground for them to compare what the PDP government is doing.’’ the President said.

He said that his administration was rehabilitating all sectors of the economy through its transformation agenda.

“A number of things that Nigerians almost forgot about like railways, we are bringing them back.

“And I believe that by early next year, things will become very obvious that even those who doubt us will not have anything to say.’’ the president said

robosky02:



POWER
• Launch of the Roadmap for Power Sector Reform. The Roadmap launched sets out a clear implementation plan of the Electricity Power Sector Reform Act (2005) as a reaffirmation of the commitment to resolve the power crises and setting the path for power sector Improvement.
•The Goodluck Jonathan administration has improved the power generation from around 2000 megawatts to 4502 megawatts in December 2012 the highest since Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999.
•By July this year, power generation will hit 6,000 megawatts and by December this year it will hit 10,000 megawatts (assurance given last week by Minister of State for Power).
AGRICULTURE
• In 2012 14 new rice mills with capacity to process 240 metric tons of rice were set up by the private sector while in addition, a sum of 1.2 billion dollars was secured by the Federal Government to install 100 large scale rice processing mills to produce 2.1 million metric tons of rice annually.
•This and other initiatives of government in 2012 resulted in the creation of about two million new jobs among rural dwellers. In 2013, the Federal Government will implement a Young Graduates Commercial Farmers Scheme, which will absorb 780,000 graduates in its first phase and provide an estimated four million jobs in the agricultural sector in the first year.
•Today, Nigeria has reached an unprecedented 60 per cent sufficiency in rice production, a feat, which the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) recently described as capable of raising world rice output to a record high in the next 12 next months

ROADS

•A total of 651km of roads was paved in bituminous layers in 2012.
•A total of 32 Highway projects were completed in 2012.
•Following the recent effects of floods in some parts of the country, the administration intervened by constructing new bridges and re-instating washed out embankments.
The radical intervention by the Subsidy Reinvestment Programme SURE-P in the road sector in 2012 resulted in accelerated work on the rehabilitation of the following projects:
•Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja;
•Benin-Ore-Sagamu dual carriageway;
•Onitsha-Enugu-Port Harcourt dual carriageway;
•Kaduna-Maiduguri dual carriageway;
•East-West Road
•The Second Niger Bridge for which a sum of five billion naira has been set aside.


AVIATION
•The administration at the end of 2011 earmarked 22 airports for rehabilitation and reconstruction and by the end of October 2012, over 50 percent had been commissioned for public use with. The remaining eleven would be completed in 2013.
• In addition to remodeling, the Jonathan administration has approved the sum of N106 billion for the construction of five new airport terminals in Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt, Abuja and Enugu as well as six cargo terminals to be managed under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) Scheme

TRANSPORTATION
•The Jonathan administration inaugurated the Lagos-Kano train service, which had been moribund for almost a decade. This is a major feat considering the long years of decay in the rail transportation sector.
•The Eastern rail line from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri is being rehabilitated as well as the fixing of the Zaria/Kaura Namoda rail route.
•The Abuja to Kaduna 187 kilometre rail line is about more than 30 per cent completed.
•the Ajaokuta-Warri Standard Gauge Rail line will be completed any time now. This will provide a less than four-hour journey between the Middlebelt and the South South.
•The Lagos-Ibadan new gauge rail line, which was also initiated last year is on course.
•The Federal Government has completed three feasibility studies and commissioned three others to open new railway corridors, which will be concessioned to local and foreign investors. An unprecedented investment of 200 billion dollars will flow into the Nigerian economy through these concessions in 2013 and 2014 with over 10 million new jobs of skilled and unskilled laborers (engineers, technicians, machinists, accountants) created in the next two years.
ECONOMY
•Statistics show that Nigeria has become the favoured destination of investors coming into Africa recording the highest investment of $8.4billion (around 930 billion). Government’s target is to attract $20 billion worth of foreign investments in three years.
•The Jonathan administration’s handling of the economy led to JP Morgan Chase the reputable American investment and Securities Company to list Nigeria on its Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets (GBI-EM). It is the second African company after South Africa to be listed. This inclusion of Nigerian bonds could mean an ‘inflow of at least $1.5 million of inflow into Nigeria’s bond market’. The listing will also improve the profile of Nigeria’s debt market.
•The Jonathan administration has in less than two years put Nigeria on the path of economic recovery. In 2011 for instance the Nigerian economy following International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast, Nigeria was expected to witness 5.9 percent GDP growth but figures from the Federal Bureau of Statistics in Nigeria showed that by third quarter of 2011 the GDP growth stood at 7.3 percent.


WATER
•The Jonathan administration has remained committed to the UN resolution in July 2010 on the “Right to Water”, which formally acknowledged the right of every human being to water.
•Pursuant to this, in February this year it organized a Presidential Summit on water to seek more effective ways of preserving national water and make same available to Nigerians.
•The Jonathan administration has revitalized the 12 River Basin Development Authorities (RBDAs) nationwide.
•The RBDAs have helped in boosting food production through resuscitation of equipment, rehabilitation of production units such as processing of rice milling, palm oil, fisheries, palm oil, bottled water etc.
•The RBDAs have also helped in redistribution and redeployment of idle equipment, improvement of water management within basin catchment e.g. the Chad and Hadejia-Jamare basins, where the Ministry of Water Resources repaired the Challawa Gates for release of water downstream.
•Nine dams completed in 2012 and 125,000 jobs created in the process.
•Ten irrigation projects deployed in 2012 for crop production. Four other irrigation projects completed and ready for commissioning.


OIL INDUSTRY REFORMS
•In line with global best practices and the principal aim of the Nigerian Extractive industry and Transparency Initiative (NEITI), President Jonathan recently forwarded the Petroleum Industry Bill to the National Assembly for passage into law.
•By the time the Petroleum Industry Bill is passed into law, Nigeria would have successfully broken the jinx of being a Nation where global business rules and practices are flouted with impunity. Estimated annual earnings of 680 billion dollars would be added to our Gross Domestic product. Crude oil theft and other sharp practices are also being combated with much vigor by various security and regulatory agencies on the president’s instructions.
•Furthermore, the fuel subsidy regime which had been a conduit pipe through which huge funds were siphoned from the National treasury has been subjected to forensic scrutiny by various agencies and committees set up by Mr. President in the last twelve months.

PORTS REFORMS
•Opportunities for bribery, documents forgery and other sharp-practices in the Nigerian ports have been substantially removed through a number of measures introduced by both the Ministries of Finance and that of Transport.
•A Presidential committee on ports reform and monitoring has worked assiduously to reduce congestion in our ports with the ultimate goal of a 48-hour goods clearing policy. The reforms in this sector are helping:
• To improve efficiency and transparency in ports operations and management.
•Reduce charges and promote competition.
•Facilitate the development of the transport sector.
•Eliminate ports congestion.
•Reduce government’s financial burden.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
•The signing of the Freedom of Information Act into law by President Jonathan in May 2011 represents a water-shed in the anti-corruption crusade in Nigeria.
•This piece of legislation which had been virtually stalled by successive administrations since 1999 was signed into law by President Jonathan to usher Nigeria into the league of countries where transparency in governance is entrenched and citizens are granted access to unfettered information about government activities.
•It is noteworthy that the present administration took the bull by the horns to lay this very important foundation for the war against corruption in Nigeria in the early months of its inception and 24 hours after the bill was presented to him by the National Assembly.

hello guys can you figuratively name the areas or sectors of the economy you think he has done well
and the areas he can improve on............

The rail sector is currently being modernised.
The Agricultural sector is being transformed. Nigeria will start exporting rice soon.
Non oil export is increasing daily.
Power sector reform is on the way. There's still much to be done but significant progress is being made to improve electricity. I know areas that are enjoying almost 20 hours of electricity daily.

Truly GEJ did marvelously well in the last four years in power. Yes a lot of work still need to be done, but on a general note, Nigeria is making progress.

Jonathan named most performing president since independence


Abuja - Dr Doyin Okupe, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, said on Friday that President Goodluck Jonathan, remains the most performing president the country has had since independence.
Okupe said this at the Public Affairs Forum held in Abuja.

The four-day forum was organised under the auspices of Okupe’s office to highlight the achievements of the Jonathan-led administration.
Okupe said that although previous Nigerian leaders performed well within the circumstances they found themselves, none of them achieved half of what President Jonathan have achieved in four years.

The presidential aide described as "nonsense" claims that the Transformation Agenda of the President existed only in the media.
"It is nonsense to say that the Transformation Agenda of Jonathan existed in the television. We have not spoken about what he has done. We are going to overwhelm Nigerians during the campaign."


He said it was regrettable that not much had been done to sell the good performance of the Jonathan`s administration to Nigerians.
Okupe, however, held that past Nigerian leaders contributed immensely to the development of the country to their best abilities as each of them recorded his own achievement.
He said that the Jonathan-led Federal Government would showcase its achievements to Nigerians during the presidential campaign for 2015.

This, he said, would convince the people that Jonathan remains the best option for the country in the years to come.
He, however, advised Nigerians to shun the antics of the opposition, saying that in spite of their criticism, they had not told Nigerians what they would offer, if given the opportunity to govern.

"This election will be a ‘no contest’ affair. We are telling the world what Jonathan has done. We will not stop until well beyond February. 2015," he said.

Also speaking, the Minister of Transport, Sen. Idris Umar, presented the ministry's achievements in the last four years during the event with the theme "Jonathan`s administration: Four impactful years''.

He said the resuscitation and modernisation of the Nigerian Railway system had reached an advance stage.
The minister highlighted various stages of work on new and existing rail lines in different parts of the country, many of which, he said, would be completed by the end of the year.

He stated that the Jonathan-led administration had repositioned the Nigerian port system in line with global best practices.
The administration, he said, had also increased the use of inland waterways and enhanced maritime safety and security.
The minister said that the administration had also improved the inter-model coordination of the Nigerian transport system and enhanced private sector participation in transportation in the country.

"These achievements have certainly impacted positively on the actualisation of the Transformation Agenda of Mr. President to the overall benefit of the Nigerian economy and the citizens," he said.

i saw people praise IBB, Abacha, obasanjo and yar adua so why not jonathan? if another monkey comes up tomorrow, praise singers will shift their drums to his side. that is why nigeria is not making any headway.
a president that has exposed thousands of nigerians to their untimely death, spent billions on electricity and even sold it, no education system, no health system and nothing different from the usual average governance and corruption infested govt is addressed as the best performing govt?
for all obasanjo's sins, nigerians are still enjoying telecommunication till date. assuming jonathan leaves now, what will nigerians enjoy in his name? fuel price or electricity tariff? oh, we will celebrate him as the president that eats N1B worth of foods.
