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”. . http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/igbo-women-abroad-tasks-buhari-on-11-point-agenda/ |
