How Atiku Made Nigerians Jobless by kcub: 8:21am On Feb 17, 2019
HOW ATIKU MADE NIGERIANS JOBLESS

A. NigerDock is the largest ship fabrication yard in West Africa sub region. When it was sold, its Ex-MD Engr. Nkpubre Okon, openly stated how "Mr Job Creator" ignored the Transport Ministry then to Open bid for NigerDock.

Atiku's preferred bidder, 'Global Energy' that agreed to increase NigerDock's workforce from 4,800 to 6,000 as part of privatization agreement dismissed 2,200 immediately it took ownership. Jagal Group that took over after Global Energy lost out on power play also sacked 1,400.

B. Nigeria Port Authority reform was purely contrived to grab landed properties. 10,000 workers were sacked & 133 bids opened for NPA properties consisting of 68 properties in Apapa, 28 houses in Ikoyi. The highest reserves bid was for a property in Ikoyi fixed at N390.4 Million.

C. NIGERIA RAILWAY
Did Atiku forget how 7000 railway workers were sacked in 2005 without compensation to reduce its workforce to 6,300? Another 1,260 were fired in 2006. When ATIKU and his Headmaster were leaving in 2007, they left ~N5 Billion in unpaid Railway pension arrears.

D. FEDERAL SECRETARIAT IKOYI
In 2006, Babalakin's Resort Ltd acquired this 15 storeys prime asset overgrown with weeds from atiku and OBJ through a Development Lease Agreement (DLA) for N7.2Billion. A Court has asked Buhari to pay N54 Billion to Babalakin for that blunder.

The DLA, dated October 10, 2006, granted Babalakin Resort Ltd a 99-years lease to redevelop the Federal Secretariat complex, that OBJ & ATIKU had abandoned for 7 years into 480 luxury apartments. This was at the eve of their departure from government. The transaction was one for the road.

The DLA hit the rocks when Lagos State Govt in the interest of the public indicated willingness in acquiring the Federal Secretariat complex. LASG insisted it should be accorded right of first refusal since LASG is the Issuing Authority of the C of O, coupled with other reasons.

Finally, lets compare OBJ & Atiku's first 3yrs in power to the first 3yrs of PMB that hasn't retrenched one civil servant, but has bailed out states on salaries. Lets not forget Atiku was in charge of the economy and OBJ gave him free hand until Galaxy Backbone scandal happened.

In 2002, first 3yrs of the Obasanjo/Atiku, manufacturing accounts for 6% of GDP. Nigeria's GDP fell by half for d first time in 20yrs. This was d year all textile factories in Nigeria closed down and unemployment was 28% within d formal sector alone; I repeat, alone!!

In 2002, UN estimated that 70% of Nigerians live below poverty line compared to 48.5% in 1998 under a military rule. Life expectancy fell from 54yrs to 51yrs. Two-fifth of every child below age 5 were malnourished and only 50% of the 128Million Nigerians have access to clean water.

FACTUAL REPORT ON HOW ATIKU SUPERVISED THE SALES OF OVER 145 FG INVESTMENTS AS A VICE PRESIDENT !!!

Please any or all ATIKU supporters or his campaign structure are free to deny these submission with facts not sentiments.

“As Head of National Council on Privatization (NCP), from 1999, atiku dug Nigeria's economic grave for today's extreme poverty and unemployment.

There were over 600 federal assets when Atiku's NCP started selling.

Atiku should tell us who bought what and what was left for the country when he left power.
To who did Atiku sell the following companies:

Nafcon
Eleme Petrochemical
Daily Times
Ughelli Power
Egbin Power
NICON Insurance
ALSCON
Transcorp Hilton Hotel
NICON Luxury Hotel
Sunti Sugar Ltd
NetCom House
Bacita Sugar Ltd
MM2

In 2007, Onigbolo Cement operating at 500,000 tonnes per annum was sold to Dangote at N1.7Bn �

To those selling Atiku, let me remind you of Senate public hearing of August, 2011 which succinctly captures how Atiku through retinue of cohorts, fronts, shell companies, ring fenced over 70% of FG's assets through a brazen daylight robbery privatization that he supervised.

This is nothing sensational. Its real life facts and all the Senators are alive today.

The 2011 privatization Senate committee was made up of Senator Ahmed Lawan – Chairman, Senators Babafemi Ojudu, Philip Aduda, Mohammed Ndume, Ifeanyi Okowa, Hope Uzodinma and Mohammadu Magoro.

Lets look at Aluminium Smelting Company, ALSCON, that Atiku privatized.

ALSCON which Nigeria built with $3.2 billion, was sold to a Russian firm, Russal, for $130million. As of the time of sale, ALSCON had received $120million for the dredging of Imo River, but was never done.

When the Senate Seating of August, 2011 asked the Russian company the whereabouts of the $120million dredging money, the company's Deputy Managing Director, Vitaly Kuzrestov, said that the money has been used for Environment Impact Assessment."

FG's Five percent share in Eleme Petrochemical worth USD27 million was never presented at the National Council on Privatization before it was sold to Indorama.

Indorama recovered this amount selling Polyethylene and Urea to the entire west Africa sub-region in just 14 months.

The Atikulate Business Theory: Sell to yourself Government assets that leaves millions in penury, to set up personal businesses that provides for a few. Atiku didn't employ the few hundreds he employed because he likes them, he needs them to work to preserve what he took from Government

A man who supervised sales of over 145 federal investments as a vice president, without a thought for today wants to be president.

He didnt revitalize them.

He didnt resuscitate them.

He sold them to whomever agrees to his personal terms

Atiku killed Nigeria.

He just wants to return to put a nail on the coffin, just to be sure Nigeria is fully buried.

He is a fantastically corrupt man.

Buhari, although not as corrupt as Atiku, still confuses me with what his agendas are. I feel he just wants to convert everything in Nigeria into a Northern entity.

He has taken all positions and every thing good in Nigeria to the North, so what does he really want?he has given el rufai unlimited powers to kill in the North.

Boko Haram uses the Nigeria Military for target practices. Buhari skipped the debate where he would have had the opportunity to tell us what he wants, or his agenda for Nigeria.

So a week to election , we are stuck between a great thief, and a man we know nothing about why he wants to rule.

Buhari,Tinubu,Oshiomole,El rufai and all those loyal to Buhari are all Muslims. Does this mean Buhari's only dream is to Islamize Nigeria?

Can anybody tell me why Buhari wants to continue ruling?

How did we get here?

Despite all you said without a single evidence, do you know Nigeria's jobless stood at 12m between 1914 - 2015?

But increased by 9m between 2015 - 2019 to stand at 21m?

If we decide to privatize our Federal government ministries today more that 40% would be retrenched because they are doing nothing.

When you finish ranting. Tell us what buhari has done to improve the ones that weren't sold.

Its as simple as it is.

Government do not have any BUSINESS doing BUSINESS.

The responsibility of any government is to create an atmosphere that enable businesses thrive and Buhari has failed to do that.

No government today is looking to build companies. no, SME's is the way forward and a mindset like yours is the reason Nigeria is still stagnated.

He already admitted to one himself.

He sold a $3.2b national asset for a meagre $130m and recently he was asked why he did that and he said it was a mistake.

He is a thief!
Re: How Atiku Made Nigerians Jobless by SalamRushdie: 8:33am On Feb 17, 2019
How can Atiku who has never been a signatory to any Nigerian Govt bank account have failed Nigeria ? Atiku has never had the opportunity to grace any govt position where he is solely in charge of decision making and a signatory to any level of govt signatory , the closest you can say Atiku has come to power is being the Vice President which we all know has zero powers under the constitution and is only in reality a spare tyre type role who is at times kept busy with little ceremonial roles his principal assigns him from time to time.

Instead the person you should claim that has failed Nigeria is no other than Muhhamdu Buhari who is on record to have held more Executive position in this country that any other person and I mean executive positions where he was a powerful signatory to a level of a Nigerian Govt treasury and decision making . U have taken the liberty to list some of such positions below:

1: Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as GOC 4th infantry


2 Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as GOC 2nd Mechanized Div


3 Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as GOV 3rd Armor

4 Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as military secretary


5: Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as Adjutant general of the army

6 Buhari was signatory to Govt account as directors of supply and transport Nigerian Army

7 Buhari was signatory to Govt account as minister of petroleum

8 Buhari was signatory to Govt account as Military Head of state

9 Buhari was signatory to Govt account as Head of PTF

10 Buhari is now super signatory as President of Nigeria


From the above it clear that it people like Buhari who have actually failed Nigeria and still want to continue failing Nigeria which is why we have to reject him whole heartedly .. Look at all the significant positions Buhari has held in full executive capacity and show me one where he made a difference and his name was written in gold? absolutely None!!!!!!

You blame should fall on Buhari and not an Atiku who has for one day never held a full executive position in this country neither has he ever ever been a signatory to any govt Account !!!!!!

It's shameful to see people support this atiku, It's shows How many parents have trained moraly bankrupt melanias.

Even a quick search of him on Wikipedia and old news outlet should desist anyone from voting him


Yes PDP would open the border and give you forex anyhow so you can import rice and tomato from china.. while our foreign reserves get depleted and local farmers wallow in poverty.... since fools think development in dubai came about through massive stomach infrastructure (foolish black man)



YES PDP would begin the fraudulent subsidy regime and pay their own friends money for No reason and all funds to repair roads goes to the new deisana madueke while millions die through accident on Lagos Ibadan high
way


I think many are suffering from poverty of the mind. And very forgetful while refusing to refresh their mind on pdp history of insecuirity, corruption and project abandonment.

Your Long epistle is meaningless and shows lack of commonsense.

Government Agencies and industries are always a cesspool for corrupr enrichment. If you have half a brain you should know that Privatisation is a stimulus for economic growth.

America has 800,000 Government workers in total..but the Private sector employs 75 million people.

So if Atiku decides to unbundle all Government agencies, be happy because that would encourage private companies to develop the country.

1. buhari exposed the level of Illiteracy in our midst. You have to be a real dunce to still support Buhari
2. buhari exposed the fact that we have very sadistic and evil people among us with the way these set of people openly endorse and defend Buhari's atrocities
3. buhari exposed the hacks and quacks parading as men and women of integrity. From Soyinka to Falana; Oby to Sagay to Bakare and Adeboye, the list is endless.
The above last expose has been the best thing a Buhari Presidency has achieved as this has permanently sieved the chaff from the wheat. The likes of Oby, Keyamo, Falana, Bakare, Soyinka, Donald Duke and Pat Utomi will never ever be taken serious ever again and whatever influence they used to wield has been watered down and diluted with their own excrement.~ *WE regret voting for the man who promised to reduce fuel pump price but increased it.*
~*WE regret voting for a man who promised not to pay fuel subsidy but paid the most*
~*WE regret voting for a man who promised to convert presidential fleet to national carrier but later fleeced Nigeria in the name of a new national carrier*
~ *WE regret voting for the man who promised to provide 3 million Jobs annually but instead destroyed 12 million Jobs in 3 years according to the NBS.*
~ *WE regret voting for the man who promised to scrap first lady office but appointed 11 aides for the First Lady*
~ *WE regret voting for the man who promised Nigeria economic prosperity but made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world.*
~ *WE regret voting for the man who promise not to treat himself overseas but patronises foreign health facilities at the slightest chance*
~ *WE regret voting for the man who promised to fight corruption but reinstated and promoted the sacked pension fund thief; Abdurrasheed Maina.*
~ *WE regret voting for the man who won his election on 'integrity' slate but harbours a certificate forger, grass cutter, and more in his cabinet*.
~ *WE regret voting for the man who thinks foreign rice is not good for Nigerians but foreign hospitals are good for him.*
~ *WE regret voting for the man who can't provide his credentials.*
~ *WE say No to Buhari in 2019.*You have no right to complain about corruption at the Federal level when Tinubu is bleeding your entire region dry
Before you take your ewedu mixer that doubles as your broom to the center of town to do your moral environmental cleansing, why not sweep the squalid filth that Tinubu has dumped in your house.
