At the rate he's going, Atiku will ultimately promise to pay the dowry for all unmarried bachelors in West Africa if we can allow him to rule Nigeria for one day! Just one day!! Even 12 hours will do...

Such desperation is a sign of danger. Buhari came with similar promises. .. We saw hell..
You've said it all. No more words to say. We only pray for a good leader

Atiku has a clean track record when it comes to education, as the proprietor of one of the leading world class university we are confident of his kin interest in education.

It’s without doubt that Atiku understands Nigeria’s problems and how to fix them, it’s pure wisdom to give him the job.

Well, government was taxing people #10 for every transaction, which was unheard of. Some people supported it. Then, they increased it to #26 for every transaction. Some people still supported it. In a country where people can't save and receive savings interest because of lots of things to pay for and for some owed salaries. Yet, without anything to increase the people's earning ability, like electricity generation for instance, they are still going further to force everyone to have their money in the banking system so that they can have more money to take from people. At least having and spending cash was free and people who see the handwriting on the wall, won't trust to keep their value in the banking system where it would be eroded. But I know that those people who keep supporting this either do not see this or are part of the largesse. I laugh at the ignorant ones who say it will help fight corruption in a country where the very check systems are corrupt. No wonder everyone who knows how gullible Nigerians are wants to be a politician. I understand it now.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has promised to meet the demand of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to pay their backlog of salaries if he is elected president.

Though the union embarked on an eight-month strike which ended in October, it has since been at loggerheads with the Federal Government over unpaid salaries, arguing that its members will make up for the lost time in the classroom.

However, Atiku gave the academics an assurance of clearing the backlog during his appearance at The People’s Townhall organised by Channels Television in Abuja on Saturday.

“I’m going to increase the funding level (of education) as against what is currently obtained, no doubt about that because I am a firm and committed believer in education.

“I have undertaken to say, ‘Whatever backlog – we are going to clear all the backlogs and make sure that you go back to classes and students go back to school,” he said.

The former vice president acknowledged the “sometimes invisible roadblocks,” explaining that when the Federal Government releases money for the universities, it does not go straight to the universities.

According to him, the funds are channelled through “another federal bureaucracy” that “might decide to do whatever they want” before the monies are sent to the individual universities.

“Why not remove the bottleneck?” he asked. “Whatever is due to university A, B, C, D, send it directly!”

The PDP candidate recalled an experience during his tenure as vice president between 1999 and 2007, where according to him, a visit to several embassies revealed that “all the staff” were not owed for “several months.”

“I even visited Togo which is the headquarters of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Every West African country has a building and staff quarters as poor as they may be, and Nigeria didn’t have, a founding member of ECOWAS,” he said.

“I came back and called the minister of finance and said, ‘What is happening? Let’s do something different.’ She said, ‘What?’ ‘Let’s ask every embassy to give us their budget.

“And when they give us their budget, we don’t send the money through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), we send the money straight to the embassies.’ That immediately eliminated the backlog of all the salaries that they were owing to our staff abroad.”

But, according to Atiku, the ministry was not pleased.

“They (MFA) kept on fighting. So, sometimes you have to really be bold enough to change some of the processes or procedures that are currently obtained in the public service to get service delivered to where they should be delivered,” he said.

“I was told of a story where, of course, some funding for universities was stalled at the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC): ‘NUC, what do you want to operate?’ (This) much. ‘Universities, where do you want to operate?’ (This) much.’ You give them directly. Why do you have to go through NUC?

“As I’ve said, I’ve pledged to increase the funding of education as far as our budget is concerned. Sadly, we are not even meeting our counterparts in West Africa. They may be poorer than we are, but we are not spending as much, as far as the educational sector is concerned.”

H.E Atiku and Dr. Okowa is the combination Nigeria needs.

As One We can Get It Done!!!!!

Once the educational sector is settled, Nigeria will leap forward. Thank God for his vision to reposition the universities to what it should be.
My singular vote is for you sir

Nigeria cann never ever be good until our domestic indigenous investors put more money into real investment in Nigeria than foreigners do....

you send ppl abroad to practice medicine, they graduate work, gain decades of experience and still b blaming government for lack of environmental..stuck monies in bank, spend with just theur families, infact moves all family members out..nd never ever contribute to health sector growth in Nigeria...but wen his grandmother becomes sick, he sends money for her to b treated in a private hospital of that naija based doctor who chose not to leave for UK...

we are deceiving ourselves, no one can like u more than u like your self

If you listen carefully to a man you will understand his intentions

When Atiku said he will empower women and youths with $10 Billion - Nigerians are not asking how he is going to get that $10 Billion

That is the money he is coming to steal

Nigerians please we don’t need another craziness for 8 years of our lives

Atiku of Transcorp and Halliburton scandals is not a man to be trusted - His desperation is sickening and he is surely after the treasury of Nigeria so he can buy half of Dubai for his children and grandchildren to live on when he dies

Aso Rock is not Old people’s home where octogenarians and Nonagenarians with severe dementia and untreated kleptomaniacs retire to, we need vibrant, verifiable and trusted leadership

We need Peter Obi as President, Wike as Minister of Works and Sowore as EFCC chairman and Nigeria will be Ok!
