Buhari’s 3 Achievements In Just 60 Days In Office by hamzazayyad1: 6:58am On Aug 11, 2015 |
It used to be a taboo before PMB
came on board to have days of
constant electricity. The simple
reason why Buhari has achieved all
these unprecedented feats is because
he is a man who does not believe in
rhetoric or empty academic dexterity.
On the other, he is a man of few
words and conspicuous results.
President Muhammadu Buhari upon
becoming the president
Actions speak louder than words. The
actions of President Muhammadu
Buhari right from his inauguration on
Saturday, May 29, 2015 show that
fortune has indeed smiled on
Nigerians. Upon his assumption into
office, some unimaginable
developments started happening
across the length and breadth of
Nigeria.
The progress of Nigeria is what
everyone yearns for, however, the
behemoth called “corruption” and the
cankerworm called the “Nigerian-
factor” stagnated governance.
Likewise, these have further
decelerated the wheel of progress
before Buhari came on board.
A great number of doubting Thomas’s
were of the view that PMB would fail
woefully upon becoming the leader of
the most populous black nation in
the world. They nicknamed him
“Baba-go-slow” and even postulated
various theories to justify their claim.
However, these individuals have now
eaten the humble pie. They are
currently at the forefront of those
saying Buhari is the right man to
cleanse the Augean stable left behind
by the previous administration. They
now sing his praises!
The body language of the president
shows that of a man who knows his
onions. It depicts that of a man who
is ready to pilot Nigeria and
Nigerians to the Promise land despite
his advanced age.
With regards to the aforementioned, a
cursory look is made into three of the
achievements the president had so
far made in his first 2 months in
office.
Stable power supply
Nigerians would never have imagined
that they would experience 24 hours
power supply without outage.
Nigerians were used to going to bed
without light. They coined acronyms
like; “Never Expect Power At Night”
for NEPA and “Please Hold Candle at
Night” for PHCN.
Despite the various change of names
and ownership of the power sector,
electricity supply to Nigerians was
abysmal. All various forms of
untenable excuses were brought
forward to justify the ineptitude
nature of the power sector by some
stakeholders. However, the reality
was shielded from Nigerians. The
reality was the endemic nature of
corruption in the power sector
through anti-people policies. The
presence of a favourable environment
for the generator importation by some
cabals also denied Nigerians their
right to uninterrupted electricity.
However the triumphant entry of
Buhari turned the table against these
malevolent creatures. Steady power
supply is no longer a treasure to be
excavated for donkey years. Having
days of constant electricity is no
more a mirage.
Nigerians from the six geo-political
zones are singing the same song that
the coming of Buhari is a blessing to
all as far as the power sector is
concerned. This is because they
hardly remember they ever used
generators or inverters or
rechargeable lamps or candles.
End to Boko Haram in sight
The United Kingdom recently stated
that it is ready to partner Nigeria in
the fight against insurgency. The
United States of America also said it
is now willing to supply arms and
ammunitions that would help Nigerian
soldiers defeat Boko Haram. It should
be noted that a few years ago, these
two world powers were reluctant to
go into partnership to end terrorism
in Nigeria and its North-East borders.
This was not because they loved the
way hundreds of thousands of people
were displaced and rendered
homeless. Also, it was not that they
enjoyed watching news of people
being slaughtered like fowls. The
main reason was that they never saw
concerted efforts and genuine
commitments from the previous
administration to tackle insurgency
headlong.
In the same vein, the government of
Cameroun recently pointed accusing
fingers at the former government,
saying it wanted to run a one-man
show against Boko Haram that later
backfired.
The picture right now about ending
Boko Haram by the Buhari-led
government is crystal-clear. The
renewed dedication and fruitful
collaboration of Nigeria, its adjoining
African countries and foreign
countries strongly indicate that the
days of Boko Haram are numbered in
Nigeria.
Huge foreign investment
President Buhari has always showed
the vigour that he just does not want
Nigeria’s economy to remain number
one in Africa, but to be among the
top in the world. Prominent Nigerians
and political analysts gave kudos to
PMB regarding his recent visit to the
United States. They said it was a
right step in the right direction.
Buhari did not just go to USA for a
tea party or to look at the
architectural design of the capitol
building. He went there strictly for
business and purposely to add to his
blueprint and strategies to improving
the standard of living of the average
Nigerian. What does this imply? It
means that as foreign investors inject
their money into the nation’s
economy, more jobs would be
created. Thereby, people would in
turn be employed and the final
multiplier effect is that families are
taken out of poverty.
According to Daily Sun newspaper on
Thursday, August 6, the senior
special assistant on media and
publicity to president Buhari, Garba
Shehu, listed the benefits of PMB’s
trip which included; a proposed $2.1
billion fund for re-development of the
North-East; $5 billion from US
investors in Nigeria’s agricultural
sector; $1.5 billion investment in
Nigeria’s health sector and another
$5 billion in the country’s power
sector.
In addition, Buhari has demonstrated
he is a pan-Nigerian leader as he
recently approved the establishment
of Hydrocarbon Pollution Restoration
Project (HYPREP). HYPREP is
established to ensure that the
cleaning up process of the
devastated Ogoniland in Niger-Delta
is fast tracked.
The onus now lies on all citizens to
continue to support and pray for this
one in a million president and the
darling of Nigerians as he continues
to steadily steer the ship of Nigeria
to a positive direction called change.
It is a stated fact that slow and steady wins the race. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Foolish man with foolish post. Since Buhari assumed office he has not awarded any contract so tell me how comes he is the reason behind the improve power supply? In the next couple of days people will start claim that he is the one that rehabilitate the refineries. 1 Like |
