Igbo Women Abroad Task Buhari On 11-point Agenda by januzaj(m): 8:38pm On Apr 08, 2015
For Nigeria to have a better change in the new
dispensation, the UmuadaNdi-Igbo in Diaspora, an
umbrella organization of Igbo women, abroad, has
tasked the President-elect, Gen.
MuhammaduBuhari on eleven-point agenda.
The group in a congratulatory message signed by
its Founder/National President, Grace Agude,
among other things, urged the President-Elect to
compose a cabinet of skilled, experienced and
trusted men and women for a better Nigeria.
According to her, the new government should take
urgent steps to encourage women participation in
government and national development, since
women are mothers of the nation.
Making the case for re-organization and better
funding of the Nigerian army so as to bring back
the lost pride and glory of the country’s military
that was once the pride of Africa, she said that the
incoming government must take steps to wipe out
Boko Haram insurgents currently terrorizing
Nigeria.
Insisting that the new administration must take all
necessary steps to bring back our kidnapped
Chibok girls, the UmuadaNdi-Igbo leader stated
that there was an urgent need to stamp out 419
and other forms of fraud in Nigeria, for Nigeria to
attract both local and foreign investors.
The group according to her also pushed for
improved funding for Nigerian universities,
teaching hospitals, and other institutions, so as to
encourage research and development.
“We want the incoming government to make plans
to diversify the Nigerian economy. This way the
Nigerian economy will not continue to rely heavily
on oil like is currently the case”, she said.
For the country to be one, she said that there was
urgent need to unite the six geopolitical zones of
the country so as to reduce tension among
different ethnic groups.
She further urged the incoming government to
encourage foreign investment which will go a long
way in creating employment and growing the
country’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP.
Assuring that UmuadaNdi-Igbo in Diaspora will
give their unalloyed support for the new
government to work, she noted that, “The People of
Nigeria have spoken very loud and clear. We
needed a change, and you are that change. Thank
God, that much anticipated political change has
come in the most peaceful manner ever imagined
in our beloved country that has a long history of
post-election violence. This victory was definitely
not a smooth ride.
“However, you met the challenge with
determination, strength, and total confidence. The
people of Nigeria saw how determined you have
been to provide solutions to the most troubling
problems facing our great country widespread
corruption, insecurity, poverty; deteriorating
standards of education, healthcare delivery and
non-existent utilities.
“It has simply been very difficult for Nigerians and
the world at large to understand why there has
been so much poverty and chaos in a country well
blessed with abundance of natural and human
resources.
“The proud and hard-working people of Nigeria
have, through the ballot box, identified you as the
man who can be trusted with bringing that much
needed change to Nigeria , Africa’s last hope.
“There is no doubt that the task ahead is a huge
one. However, with good focus, determination, hard
work, dedication to office, and above all, with
God’s guidance and blessings, it can be done. Yes,
it can be done”.
