PoliticsBUHARI’S BLUE PRINT: ‘MY First 100 Days In Office’ –@ThisIsBuhari by benuejosh(op): 2:35pm On Apr 06, 2015
@Dear Compatriots,
In the past few months that I have traveled round
this country on campaigns, I have experienced the
sheer beauty of our diversity. From Port Harcourt to
Kano, from Abeokuta to Gusau, I experienced first-
hand the daily sufferings and struggles of our
people. I also experienced the overwhelming
desire of our people for change.
When I arrived in Port Harcourt on the 5th of
January to start my campaigns, I was met by our
teeming supporters, who stayed till late in the
evening to welcome us. Among them were many
young men and women, who in the few minutes
that I shared with them at the airport, made me to
reflect on what kind of future awaits them in our
country.
The gestures of 90-year-old Hajia Fadimatu Mai
Talle Tara from Kebbi State and 9-years-old Nicole
Eniiyi Benson from Lagos State, who donated their
life-savings to my campaign, reflect the
overwhelming desire of our people for change. In
their gestures, I perceived a longing for the days
when honour, national pride and dignity of labour
were the fundamental social principles that
governed our country. As I encountered millions of
our youths, who sometimes run for hours in front
of my car and hanging precariously on our
campaign vehicles at our state rallies, I also
pondered the enormity of the task ahead. How do
we give jobs to our youth? How do we reform our
economy and make it work for every Nigerian?
I know however, that what we require to revamp
our economy and rebuild our country is our ability
to galvanize all our citizens to believe once again in
their government, in their country and especially, to
believe in themselves. This can only happen if we
are able to rebuild the trust and belief that our
people used to have in government, and indeed, in
our nation. The leadership that I will provide will be
built on this critical awareness. I intend to lead with
integrity and honour and commit myself totally to
everything that is of concern to our people:
security, employment, health, education, good
governance and others.
This Covenant is to outline my agenda for Nigeria
and provide a bird’s eye view of how we intend to
bring about the change that our country needs and
deserves. This Covenant is derived from the
manifesto of my party, the All Progressives
Congress (APC). It however, represents my pledge
to you all when I become your President.
I have no doubt that God being on our side, with
the abiding support of all Nigerians, we shall all
witness the great change that we desire and
achieve the Nigeria of our dream.
Corruption and Governance
No matter how vast our resources, if they are not
efficiently utilized, they will only benefit a privileged
few, leaving the majority in poverty. I believe if
Nigeria does not kill corruption; corruption will kill
Nigeria.
I pledge to:
• Publicly declare my assets and liabilities and
encourage my political appointees to also publicly
declare their assets and liabilities.
• Affirm that our strategy for tackling corruption
will not only focus on punishment. Rather, it will
also provide incentives for disclosure and
transparency.
• Show personal leadership in the war against
corruption and also hold all the people who work
with me to account.
• Inaugurate the National Council on Procurement
as stipulated in the Procurement Act so that the
Federal Executive Council, which has been turned
to a weekly session of contract bazaar, will
concentrate on its principal function of policy
making.
• Review and implement audit recommendations
by Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency
Initiative (NEITI).
• Work with the National Assembly towards the
immediate enactment of a Whistle Blower Act.
• Work with the National Assembly to strengthen
ICPC and EFCC by guaranteeing institutional
autonomy including financial and prosecutorial
independence and security of tenure of officials.
• Make the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) an
autonomous and operational agency.
• Encourage proactive disclosure of information by
government institutions in the spirit of the Freedom
of Information Act.
• Ensure all MDAs regularly comply with their
accountability responsibilities to Nigerians through
the National Assembly.
• Work with the leadership of the National
Assembly to cut down the cost of governance.
• Present a national anti-corruption Strategy.
Access to Justice and Respect for Fundamental
Human Rights
One of the biggest challenges facing Nigeria is
building a country that is fair to all of its citizens; a
country in which all individuals feel and know that
they are valued members of society with
constitutionally guaranteed rights; a country that
respects human dignity, promotes human
development, fosters human equality and advances
human freedom.
I pledge to:
• Lead a government founded on values that
promote and protect fundamental human rights
and freedoms. I will promote the supremacy of the
Constitution and the rule of law, affirm separation
of the powers of government and support an
independent judiciary.
• Present a detailed strategy for protecting the
fundamental rights and freedoms provided for in
our Constitution. There will be emphasis on the
rights of vulnerable persons including women,
children and persons living with disabilities as well
as access to justice and prisons reforms.
Insurgency and Insecurity
I have had the opportunity to serve my country in
the military up to the highest level, as a Major
General and as the Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces. In the course of my service, I had
defended the territorial integrity of Nigeria. And if
called upon to do so again, I shall rise to the
occasion. As a father, I feel the pain of the victims of
insurgency, kidnapping and violence whether they
are the widows and orphans of military,
paramilitary or civilians.
I pledge to:
• Ensure that under my watch, no force, external or
internal, will occupy even an inch of Nigerian soil. I
will give all it takes to ensure that our girls
kidnapped from Chibok are rescued and reunited
with their families.
• Deliver a Marshal Plan on insurgency, terrorism,
ethnic and religious violence, kidnapping, rural
banditry and ensure that never again will Nigerian
children be slaughtered or kidnapped at will.
• Boost the morale of our fighting forces and the
generality of Nigerians by leading from the front as
the Commander-in-Chief and not hide in the
comfort and security of Aso Rock.
• Give especial attention to the welfare of our
armed forces and all other security personnel and
their families, including State-guaranteed life
insurance for all officers and men as well as protect
the families of our fallen heroes.
• Ensure that acts of heroism and valour in the
service to the nation are publicly recognized and
celebrated.
• Establish close working relationship with
governors of the states affected by insurgency,
with leaders of our neighbouring countries and
with leaders around the world to cooperate in
combating insurgency, oil theft, piracy and
criminality.
• Activate regular meetings of the National Police
Council to ensure the discharge of its true
constitutional roles in a transparent and
accountable way.
• Fight for you, and alongside you. We will fight
together to defeat terrorism. But I will be honest
with you about our challenges and I will bear the
responsibilities of my charge. I will not lie to you or
exaggerate our triumphs. My administration will be
thoroughly transparent in every step of our daily
struggle and together we will win the war.
Niger Delta
In many years of oil exploration, the Niger Delta
has become perhaps, the world’s worst eco-
system, a byword for environmental degradation,
exploitation and diseases. I believe that protecting
the livelihood of our people in the Niger Delta
should transcend our interest its oil.
I pledge to:
• Commit myself and my administration to the
protection and regeneration of the environment in
the Niger Delta and to ensure that oil companies
comply with global best practices on environmental
protection.
• Sustain and streamline the human capital
development in the Niger Delta, especially focusing
on youth and women.
• Reform investment in infrastructural development
of the Niger Delta and ensure that the NDDC is held
accountable to its mandate.
Diversity
Nigeria’s greatest asset is her people. My
commitment is to invest in our people and ensure
that they have the opportunity to achieve their full
potentials and enjoy the full benefits of their
citizenship, regardless of their religion, region,
ethnicity, gender or disability.
I pledge to:
• Continually acknowledge our diversity and
consciously promote equality and equity in all
government businesses and activities.
• Implement the National Gender Policy including
35% of appointive positions for women.
• Work with the National Assembly to pass the
National Disability Act and the Equal Opportunities
Bill.
Health
We must give real meaning to the old saying that
Health is Wealth. We must take all possible
measures to ensure that our people stay healthy,
but we must also ensure that when they fall ill, they
can get help.
Healthcare in Nigeria is in crises. Too many people
do not get any treatment. For those who do get
treated, all too often, the care they receive is poor.
Far too many die from easily treatable diseases and
what should be routine treatment often end in
death. Furthermore, Nigeria is set to miss our MDG
targets. The statistics speak for themselves.
I pledge to:
• Unveil a health sector review policy to ensure
efficient and effective management of our health
systems with focus on prevention.
• Ensure that no Nigerian will have any reason to
go outside the country for medical treatment.
• Guarantee financial sustainability to the health
sector and minimum basic health care for all.
• Review occupational health laws and immediately
commence enforcement of the provisions to reduce
hazards in the work place.
• Partner with State Governments and development
partners to ensure all-round implementation of our
primary health plans by expanding access to health
insurance for rural communities.
Education
I believe that our education system must prepare
our children for the responsibilities of citizenship
and prepare our youths to contribute to the
development of our country. Therefore, I shall
focus on restoring the lost glory of our education
by implementing reforms that will bring quality
back into our schools and position our universities
and polytechnics to provide market-relevant skills
to our youths.
I pledge to:
• Embark on a program of mass mobilisation to
ensure that all children of school age, no matter
where they may reside in our country, and no
matter the social conditions of their parents, are in
school. Working in co-operation with the State
Governments, we shall make the required
investments in infrastructure, learning materials,
nutrition and children healthcare. To this end, UBEC
Fund will be reviewed to ensure greater efficiency
in utilization.
• Provide on-the-job retraining opportunities for
existing teachers at both the basic and secondary
levels while providing the right incentives to keep
teachers in the classrooms and attract bright young
men and women to take up career in teaching.
• Work with other levels of government and
through relevant government agencies to allocate
resources to schools while strengthening
community participation in school management.
• Implement a comprehensive review of the goal
and content of our secondary education to ensure
that it also serves the purpose of skills acquisition
and fits purpose.
• Set up Colleges of Skills and Enterprise to replace
the old technical colleges. This will be done with
direct participation from relevant industry and
professional groups in the private sector. Based on
local market demands, each of the colleges will
focus on high job demand sectors of the economy
such as agriculture, ICT, telecommunications,
entertainment, construction, oil and gas and sports.
• Establish special purpose fund for a Secondary
School level education.
• Improve the competitiveness of our universities
and polytechnics and position them at the heart of
the national productivity, innovation and
enterprise.
• Pursue a policy of non-discrimination between
the universities and the polytechnics.
Agriculture
Oil has served our country, but it has also excluded
majority of Nigerians from the mainstream of our
economy. I am convinced that our guarantee for
inclusive growth is agriculture.
I pledge to:
•Make agriculture a major focus of the government
and lay the institutional foundation to attract large-
scale investments and capital to the sector.
•Actively promote a well-coordinated and
innovatively funded Youth in Commercial
Agribusiness Programme.
•Establish agricultural produce storage, pricing and
marketing systems to ensure real commercial value
and minimize waste.
•Work with State Governments to launch
Agricultural Support Programmes that will drive
agricultural land development and mechanization.
•Revamp, revitalize and improve on the national
agricultural extension and rural support service
system.
•Lay the groundwork for a standardized market
uptake and aggregation outlets for specific
agricultural produce.
•Revamp the key development banks (Bank of
Agriculture, Bank of Industry and Nigeria Import &
Export Bank) to fund inclusive agricultural value
chain operations
•Liberalise and expand agricultural and rural
insurance system with premium subventions
support to farmers
•Revamp the agricultural cooperative system to
drive rural agriculture and improve stakes for
smallholder farmers.
•Develop a system of small-scale irrigation systems
to ensure all-year round farming.
•Revamping key agriculture research institutions
and deliver their outputs through effective network
of extension services.
Management of the Economy for Shared Prosperity
All Nigerians deserve to benefit from our collective
wealth. We promise not to leave any Nigerian
behind in our determination to create, expand and
ensure equitable and effective allocation of
economic opportunities. No matter the amount of
wealth we create, it would be meaningless unless it
benefits the majority of our people.
Power
Our failure to ensure a stable supply of electricity
has been an impediment to economic growth,
productivity and national security.
I pledge to:
• Address the gaps in power sector privatization to
ensure it serves the needs of our people.
• Explore and develop alternative sources of
power such as small, medium and large hydro
plants, wind, coal and solar and other forms of
renewable energy to ensure efficient and
affordable power supply.
• Invest in technical skills development for efficient
management of energy resources.
Sports and Culture
Sports and culture are important instruments for
social cohesion, national integration and promotion
of positive national image. They also provide a
strong platform for youth development and the
expression of our abundant creative talents.
I pledge to:
• Invest and encourage investments in both small
and large-scale sports facilities to enable mass
participation in sports.
• Ensure that participation in sports become a core
component of our education at all levels.
• Activate incentives for the private sector to invest
in the development of high performance sports.
Culture
I pledge to:
• Support real investments in the entertainment,
arts and creative industries.
• Strengthen the regulatory framework to protect
and preserve our culture and creative industry and
prevent it from the scourge of piracy.
• Develop and strengthen the value link-chain of
the culture industry to deepen the industry and
provide jobs.
