War Against Corruption:

APC in Government shall muster the political will to wage strident War against Corruption; otherwise our post-oil-economy will be disastrous. It is our considered view that none of our cardinal programs will succeed if the current level of corruption and looting going on in the land is allowed to continue.

We shall strengthen and make independent the EFCC, ICPC and other Anti-graft agencies and repeal the laws which inhibit their independence.
We shall embark on public sensitization campaign and civic education against corruption in schools and town halls.
Shall encourage Civil Society Organizations, Advocacy groups and Whistle-Blowers in the anti-graft vanguard.
We shall stop the corruption of our electoral process by making the Independent National and State Electoral Commissions (INEC) truly independent.
We shall establish Special Courts for corruption, after due and thorough review of the penal code.
To actualize this we shall make the appointment of the chairman and top officials of National and State Electoral Commissions Public as enunciated in the Uwais Electoral Reform Report.


2. Food Security;
From a net and leading exporter of Agriculture produce in the post-independent years, the nation has now collapsed and
become dependent on imports for its sustenance for wheat, rice, sugar, milk, fruit and juice to mention just a few. The nation now depends on foreign producers. Our Currency is weak, our independence is threatened and our national pride and integrity are compromised, this situation therefore will definitely worsen with the coming uncertainty in the oil and gas market.


APC will embark on a massive and comprehensive re-organization and revolutionalisation of the agricultural industry. The objective is to sustain agriculture as the strategic engine and prime-mover of national economic development to feed the nation; to supply the raw material for industrial processing and manufacturing; and to earn stable remunerative prices in the local and international markets. In addition, APC will revamp the River Basin Authorities, which are the best vehicles for Nigeria's agricultural revival and expansion.


In recognition of the important role of agriculture in national development, our party in Government will be guided by the
following:



1. The creation of functional agricultural Extension and food inspectorate divisions with a view, not only to making professional services available to farmers, but also improving nutrition and eliminating food-borne hazards.
2. Embarking on massive agricultural land preparation in all states to prepare the ground for massive crop production by restoring the NALDA.
3. Encourage commercial livestock and fisheries development as well as strengthening forestation and environmental protection schemes.
4. A policy to encourage young people to go into agriculture by funding incentives and mechanization techniques. This will replace the ageing current generation of farmers who are too few to meet the nations demands.
5. Reclaiming the desert by tree planting programmes and growing alfalfa grass, and other legumes for livestock nutrition.
6 Institution of land army scheme across the nation.
7 Restarting farm settlements and procuring appropriate machinery for agricultural productivity, locally sourced or imported.
8 Strengthening the Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development
9 Investing in irrigation facilities for all season agro-enterprise

3. Accelerated Power Supply:

Power is the center point of the development process. All other indices of development anchor on power and energy. The failure to make power supply efficient has impacted negatively on the economy. It has made the cost of production and business high and has invariably raised the cost of agricultural produce and other finished goods and services thereby thwarting the growth of our economy.

The crisis in the power sector is one of the major causes of the present collapse of the industrial sector and the inability of small scale industries to thrive. To kick-start industrial growth in the country, stable and affordable power supply is an absolute necessity.

The APC Government shall vigorously pursue the expansion of electricity generation and distribution of up to 40,000 megawatts in four to eight years. The party will also work assiduously at making power available from renewable energy sources such as coal, solar, hydro, wind and biomass for domestic and industrial use, wherever these prove viable

i) As a matter of pressing priority and urgency, tackle the paralyzing lapses with electric power generation, distribution and supply.
ii) Resolve all stalemate around the reform of the power sector and develop a transparently agreed power generation and distribution milestones with clear timeliness and targets.
iii) Liberalize the monopoly of the Federal Government in power generation and supply. We shall devolve much of power and energy to the private sector.
iv) The gas and thermal stations will particularly be encouraged to increase their supply capacities.
v) Alternative power sources, including hydro, solar, coal and wind energy will be explored and developed.
vi) Regular Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of existing facilities will be done to ensure steady and uninterrupted utility supply.
vii) An aggressive and efficient tariff/revenue recovery system will be pursued. All avenues of waste, corruption and abuse will be checked.
vii) Rural electrification will continue to be encouraged.
vii) Improve management efficiency of the nation's distribution system, improve commitment to consumer service and sensitize a national energy conservation and maintenance culture on electricity supply.

Without telling us how to achieve it?

APC online cardinal programme:

Buhari defeats jonathan online and via dreams.

Tinubu becomes the the godfather of nigeria politics online

I am particularly intrested in number 6. Btw, what about Healthcare, what plan does APC have for the Health sector?

Bla bla bla!

4. Transportation:

Railways, waterways and road transportation are key and germane to economic growth and development. This is even more so in a country with an estimated population of 170 million, growing at an annual average of 3% the movement of people, goods and services in Nigeria will continue to be a challenge, which cannot be met efficiently and cost-effectively by road transportation alone. And as long as the Railway system remains undeveloped, so long will road construction remain recurrent expenditure and an unsustainable drain on the economy.

Transport constitutes a very important sector of the Nigerian economy upon which depends:

Development in other sectors of the economy:
The socio-economic integration of the country and
Inter-state commerce and international trade.
Efficient and reliable urban transportation system across Nigeria

iii) AIR TRANSPORT

Improvement and modernization of aviation infrastructure, compatible with international safety standards.
Continuous encouragement to private airline operators, subject to their meeting the required globally accepted conditions and safety standards.
Provision of a Standard Hanger in partnership with the private sector for the maintenance of aircraft in the sub-region

5. Free Education:
APC in government will carryout a thorough review of the education sector and having established the main causes of the sectors terrible decline:

1.Fully implemention and enforce the provisions of the Universal Basic Education Act with emphasis on gender equity in primary and secondary school enrolment whilst improving the quality and substance of our schools
2.Reinstate the now abandoned Teacher Teaching Colleges to train teachers.
3.Target up to 10% of our annual budget for this critical sector whilst making substantial investments in training programmes at all level of the educational system
4.Create elaborate incentive schemes to attract the best and the brightest to teach in our schools

6. Devolution Of Power:
APC believes that our politics is broken. Our nation urgently needs fundamental political reform and improvement in governance to make it more transparent and accountable APC will:

1. Initiate action to amend our Constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties and responsibilities to states and local governments in order to entrench Federalism and the Federal Spirit;

2. Strengthen INEC to reduce/eliminate electoral malpractices;

7. Accelerated Economic Growth:

APC recognizes that Nigeria faces very grave economic challenges. There is the general challenge of unemployment especially among the youth and now manifest nationwide insecurity. There is also the challenges of industrial decline and a severe deficit in housing and social services.

APC believes that macro-economic re-engineering is about only way to deal with this problem simultaneously. In this regard therefore, APC will take three major sector of the economy and in tackling them resolve the problem of poverty eradication, food shortage and provision of housing by intensive and extensive investment. Within these three sectors are those jobs and opportunities which negligence and poorly digested economic theories, have denied our own citizen for nearly three decades.

SECTION 10.1
JOBS AND THE ECONOMY



APC will
1. Maintain a sound macro-economic policy environment, run an efficient government and preserve the independence of the Central Bank;

2. Restore and strengthen financial confidence by putting in place more robust monitoring, supervision and regulation of all financial institutions.

Enough of the programs, we just need someone that will come and fix electricity and build the country. EVen I can creat a developmental blueprint, what use iz it when there is no implementation?

just to remind u
apc can neva win d highest number in d national assembly because they dont have popular candidates contesting in all stater eg ebonyi state
what are in does plans that apc can achieve without a supportive legisiture. apc should first win the legisiture before they contest for presidency til then apc

As an advocate of good governance, I thought the APC will exert much of its efforts and resources maybe to employ experts to examine what's on ground already before drawing up a comprehensive and working plan before jumping into the fray...but unfortunately, what you published here shows that they neither have a working plan nor any idea on how to manage the country better...With these non directional, uncoordinated, unrealistic and unachievable programs, I can categorically state here that APC isn't an alternative yet...

NgeneUkwenu:
