What A GEJ Led Federal Government Will Offer Nigerians In The Next Four Years by Sweetguy25: 12:49pm On Mar 23, 2015
Improved Power Supply: Under the GEJ, the power sector has been liberalized. Federal government ownership of the generation and distribution sectors has been sold to private investors. The institutional framework also makes it easy to attract investors in the power generating sector.
As it stands currently, several power plants and adjoining infrastructure are being built by private investors and within the next three years, our generating capacity will be in excess of 7000 and above. This automatically translates to better electricity supply for our homes and businesses.


Less Food imports and better food security: Under the administration of GEJ, food imports have been reduced by over 900 billion naira from the initial 2 trillion in 2012. If you don’t understand what this means, it means that agricultural sector produced over 800 billion worth of produce in just two years. The government is eager to do more and ensure that we are a self-sustaining food producing country. The improvements in the agro sector will continue and in the next four years, food imports will be reduced further to less than a 100 billion. This is a great time to become an agro investor, the wise ones know this.

Better rail transportation: We can all attest to the fact that it was under the administration of GEJ that our railways were revived. It is now possible to move from west to north by train. Although not all parts of the country are connected by rail at the moment, it is expected that more rail networks will be opened and will be in operation within the next two to three years. Before the expiration of GEJs tenure in 2019, most parts of the country will be accessible by train.

Better Funding for entrepreneurs and businesses: It is a top priority of this administration that businesses operate successfully and entrepreneurial dreams are turned to reality. Information from the bank of industry has shown that over 500 billion naira was given to businesses within the past four years. This funding will continue because the 220 billion naira SME intervention fund by the CBN has been given to issue to small business in the country.
Also, the YouWin entrepreneurship program is on course. The program is meant to fund the businesses (startup or existing) owned by young entrepreneurs in the country (between ages 18 – 45). If you have a business idea that will create jobs, all you need do is write a plan business plan and submit your application on the youwin website. If it is considered, your business will be financed with a federal government grant (a maximum of 10m). This money is free of charge, you don’t pay back.


This is from today's daily trust newspaper. .

The Executive Director, Lagos and South-West, of the First City Monument Bank (FCMB) Limited Mr. Olufemi Bakre noted that there “are so much funds available to SMEs now in this country like never before. There are funds from the Central Bank, Bank of Industry, and Bank of Agriculture but why are they not accessing these funds? It’s because they don’t know how to present their case.

More Industrialization: The next four years will bring about a rapid growth in the industrial sector. The new automotive policy will be implemented and vehicle manufacturing companies are sure to setup their various factories in Nigeria. As it currently stands, there are about four or five vehicle assembly plants operating in Nigeria. This number is set to increase as other global auto manufacturers invest in the automotive sector.
Our steel production has improved immensely over the past few years. The Light section Mill of the Ajaokuta steel complex has commenced production. Delta steel company and Katsina Rolling Mill are also set to commence production this year.

Better Access to Housing Finance: The Nigerian Mortgage Refinance Corporation has been setup by the GEJ led federal government enable individuals and households access mortgage finance with lowest interest rates possible (Lower than 10 percent). The company was launched in 2013 and has received over 60 thousand applications to date. More applications are expected to flood in as time goes on.

1. More corruption based on the people supporting the presidency

2. More devaluation

3. High involvement of militancy, terrorist in running the affairs of the country.

4. Wastage and profligacy will continue

5. Polarization of Nigerians along ethnic and religious divides will continue

6. Falling / failing foreign policy will continue, due to the perception of low integrity oozing from leadership.

7. Politicization of CBN, INEC, Army, Judiciary as an institution will continue

8. Battered morality will continue if there is no change in leadership. People will continue to see corruption as a way of life, if there is no culture of consistent penalties.
