2. Conduct of free and fair elections in the country,
including the 2011 poll which was adjudged to be the most
credible election of its magnitude that has ever been conducted
in the country, though it was not without its flaws. Unlike in
other administrations, the Goodluck Jonathan
administration has given a free hand to the country’s electoral
umpire, INEC, to perform its statutory duties.

[s]The Goodluck Jonathan administration has been “silently
transforming Nigeria from its dark ages of underdevelopment
to a 21st century economic and political force,” Mr.
Nnawetanma writes.
Mr. Nnawetanma has completed a list of implementations of
the Goodluck Jonathan administration he considers to
be a progress.

1. Promotion and practice of true democracy by creating an
enabling environment where people from diverse
backgrounds and with divergent views and opinions can be
accommodated. Under the watch of Goodluck Jonathan
administration, the APC was registered by INEC as a mega
opposition party big enough to challenge the PDP at both state
and national levels. This would have been unthinkable some
years back.

2. Conduct of free and fair elections in the country,
including the 2011 poll which was adjudged to be the most
credible election of its magnitude that has ever been conducted
in the country, though it was not without its flaws. Unlike in
other administrations, the Goodluck Jonathan
administration has given a free hand to the country’s electoral
umpire, INEC, to perform its statutory duties.

3. Relative non-interference with electoral and judicial
matters. This is evident in the number of governorship
elections that have been won both at the polls and in the court
by opposition parties in Anambra, Imo, Osun states, among
others.

4. Liberalization of the press and guaranteeing the
freedom of speech in a country where the stifling of the
press and suppression of the citizens’ right to freedom of
speech used to be the norm, a legacy of over 30 years of
military rule. The existence of vocal anti-government media
houses and critics would have culminated in some high-profile
assassinations some years back, but today citizens are free to
air their views whenever and wherever they like just like any
other sane country.

5. Opening up of Nigeria to the global business
community and becoming Africa’s number one destination
of foreign investors. In the first six months of 2014, a total of
US$9.70 billion or N1.51 trillion flowed into the national
economy as foreign direct investments (FDI).

6. Under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria
rebased it’s GDP for the first time in over a decade to
become the largest economy in Africa, overtaking South Africa
and Egypt in the process.

7. Proceeds from Nigeria’s non-oil exports rose to 2.97
billion by the end of 2013, up from 2.3 billion in 2010.

8. Initiation of the YOUWIN program in 2011. The Youth
Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YOUWIN) program aims
to generate over 100,000 jobs for innovative unemployed
youths across the country in the course of three years. It is
currently in its third year.

9. Nigerians are now a step closer to being fully integrated into
the international e-commerce community with the
approval and reinclusion of Nigeria as one of the Paypal-
compliant countries after being banned from using the service
at the peak of the advanced fee fraud (419 scams). With
Paypal, Nigerians can now pay for goods and services online
from anywhere in the world.

10. Goodluck Jonathan administration is the one behind the
revival of the dead automotive industry in Nigeria. Global
auto giants like Peugeot, Nissan and Hyundai now either
assemble or wholly manufacture small cars, Sport Utility
Vehicles, trucks and buses at various locations in Nigeria. In
addition to that, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company
(IVM), Nigeria’s flagship indigenous automaker, has begun the
sale of their first made-in-Nigeria cars and SUVs in August
2014.

11. Under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria
became the first country in West Africa to host the
World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2014. It was also the most
successful World Economic Forum for Africa (WEFA) in
history, boasting of a global reach of 2.1 billion people
according to estimates.

12. Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote’s net worth
increased from US$2.1 billion at the start of Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan’s administration to US$23 billion in 2014, making him
Forbes’ richest black person in the world and the overall 26th
richest in the world. He attributed this mammoth increase in
his monetary worth to Goodluck Jonathan
administration favourable economic policies.
