Why PDP is happy about the letter is what I don't understand, OBJ said "APC is as worthless as PDP". He rubbished the two parties, so what is the big deal PDP masturbating over it.

Mr. Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday listed the 17 achievements of his boss.

He also noted that the coming year (2018) will be Nigeria’s “Year of Infrastructure” as the government has lined up a number of important infrastructure projects which cut across the various sectors.

Here are the 2017 major achievements of Buhari in 2017 as listed by Adesina



1. Nigeria exited its worst recession in decades. After five quarters of negative growth, the economy bounced back into positive territory. Agriculture was one of the stars of 2017, posting consistent growth levels even throughout the recession. Also, Inflation fell for ten consecutive months during 2017 (February to November).



2. The Naira stabilised against the dollar, after the Central Bank introduced a new forex window for Investors and Exporters. The stability has attracted billions of dollars in portfolio investments since April 2017.



3. On the back of a stable Naira and increased investment inflows, Nigeria’s stock market emerged one of the best-performing in the world, delivering returns in excess of 40 percent.



4. Nigeria saw bumper food harvests, especially in rice, whose local production continues to rise significantly (States like Ebonyi, Kebbi, Kano leading the pack, with Ogun joining at the end of 2017). The price of a 50kg bag of rice – a staple in the country – has fallen by about 30 percent since the beginning of 2017, as local production has gone up.



5. The Federal Government launched a 701 billion Naira Intervention Fund (‘Payment Assurance Programme’) aimed at supporting power generation companies to meet their payment obligations to gas and equipment suppliers, banks and other partners. The impact is being felt, the amount of power being distributed is now currently steady at around 4,000MW – higher than previously recorded.

6. The Federal Government began paying pensions to police officers who were granted Presidential pardon in 2000 after serving in the former Biafran Police during the Nigerian Civil War. These officers, and their next of kin, have waited for their pensions for 17 years since the Presidential pardon.



7. Nigeria rose 24 places on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business rankings, and earned a place on the List of Top 10 Reformers in the world.



8. Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves grew by $12 billion, reaching the highest level since 2014. Nigeria also added, this year, an additional $250m to its Sovereign Wealth Fund. Also, Nigeria’s trade balance crossed over into surplus territory, from a deficit in 2016.



9. Nigeria successfully issued two Eurobonds (US$4.5bn), a Sukuk Bond (100 billion Naira), a Diaspora Bond (US$300m), and the first Sovereign Climate Bond in Africa, raising billions of dollars for infrastructure spending.



10. The Federal Government launched a Tax Amnesty scheme expected to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in additional revenues when it closes in March 2018.



11. The Federal Government successfully commenced implementation of a Whistleblowing Programme that has so far seen recoveries of tens of millions of dollars.

12. The Social Investment Programme – Nigeria’s most ambitious social welfare programme ever – rolled out across dozens of states. (Currently, 5.2 million primary school children in 28,249 schools in 19 states are being fed daily; 200,000 unemployed graduated enlisted into the Npower Job Scheme, and a quarter of a million loans already distributed to artisans, traders, and farmers).



13. The number of Nigerians facing food insecurity in the northeast dropped by half, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).



14. The Nigeria Customs Service recorded its highest-ever revenue collection, crossing the One Trillion Naira (N1,000,000,000) mark. [The target for 2017 was 770 billion Naira (N770,573,730,490); 2016 Collection was just under 900 billion (N898,673,857,431.07)]



15. The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB), under the new management appointed by President Buhari in 2016, remitted 7.8 billion Naira to the coffers of the Federal Government. The total amount remitted by JAMB between 2010 and 2016 was 51 million Naira.



16. 2017 was also the Year of Nigeria’s Agriculture Revolution, embodied by the successes of the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative (PFI) and the Anchor Borrowers Programme. More than a dozen moribund fertilizer blending plants were revived under the PFI this year.



17. Finally, 2017 will be the Year that laid the foundation for a 2018 that will be Nigeria’s Year of Infrastructure. A number of important infrastructure projects, in power, rail and road, are scheduled to come on-stream or inch close to completion next year.

George Moghalu is the National Auditor of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and aspirant for the party’s governorship ticket in Anambra State. In this interview with newsmen, he expresses reservation about the agitation for an independent Biafran Republic by separatist groups like the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), declaring that such agitation will undermine the South-East quest for the Presidency. TAIWO AMODU brings excerpts:


WHAT are those things you feel aren’t being done normally in Anambra State that you want to correct when you become the governor, considering the fact that the incumbent governor can still seek a fresh mandate?

I try to use an analogy to explain the situation in Anambra State. When you come into a dark room, if you come in with a candle, there is light and there is illumination. If you bring in a bulb, there is an improvement on the candle. If you bring in floodlight, you have greater illumination. It looks like the day. So, that’s exactly the situation in Anambra. What some people see is a candle-lit situation because I believe that the potentialities of the state to be number one in this country is there. But first we need to create an enabling environment for the private sector to grow. We need to build on our potential to expand the place. We need to change the narrative.

For me, there is quite a lot to be done in Anambra, in terms of governance, infrastructural development, expanding our agricultural base to address unemployment. This is why I have taken time to build up a manifesto which I am going to sell to the people. I have said we must de-emphasise oil if we really want to drive this economy and that’s because with our emphasis on certificates, today people buy the certificates which they cannot defend. We must target a situation where we train people so that they can be self-reliant and have the capacity to employ people in a very short time. We have a lot to do in our state. Our infrastructure is totally decayed. Never mind what you see on television. There is quite a lot to be done.



How confident are you with APC in this forthcoming election? Just a few days ago, your party lost an election in Osun State. The Anambra election will be the next. Do you think APC is strong in the state?

I keep telling people, for every election apart from the party, individual candidates you present have a very strong role to play. For APC as a party, we are very acceptable in Anambra. So, when they are looking at APC as a party, they look at individuals that represent APC. I know I have a credible record that Anambra people can trust. Today, I am seen as a credible politician. I am seen as somebody who is consistent, as somebody whom when I say something, I stick to it and whenever I enter into a commitment I do everything humanly possible to keep to the agreement. So, it is about the person and the party. So, when you join the credibility of the candidate and that of the party you have a candidate that can be easily sold to the people. That’s what I am selling.



How do you intend to diversify the economy of your state, to earn for it foreign exchange?

We can keep depending on federal allocation. It doesn’t make political sense, it doesn’t make economic sense because today, we are a mono-cultural economy and because of that it is controlled by external forces. We don’t determine the price of oil and when the external forces forced down the price of oil, it affects our economy. So everyone rushes to Abuja every month, but I don’t think it makes sense. So, agriculture must be given priority. Yes, Anambra has the potential to grow rice to make reasonable impact. So, we must expand that, not only production but exporting our produced rice. How do you do this? We must try to industrialise the sector so that people as they produce, you buy up from them. We must have a commodity market situation so that you can encourage local production. But when the conditions aren’t there, there is the likelihood that it will not grow.

We need to get the private sector involved. We must create the enabling environment for them to grow and to do this, we must address some basic issues. We must look at road, power infrastructure, cost of capital. These are areas government has a strong role and if government does its bit, I am sure the operating space will be conducive and we can have rice production at a considerable cost. So, I think agriculture is the way to go.



Ahead of this election, a separatist group in the South-East, IPOB, has vowed to disrupt the election. As an aspirant, aren’t you worried?

The issue of not wanting Biafra and not wanting election, I think it has been sufficiently addressed by various Igbo organisations. Ohanaeze has come out to make its position clear. What message are we sending when we say we don’t want to have election in Anambra? One state in our zone? It doesn’t make sense. I believe that there will be election and I believe that the Ohanaeze and other Igbo leaders have come out to say that the elections will hold in the South-East. I am sure that the Federal Government has the capacity to provide enough security for people in Anambra.



The APC leaders set up a committee to interface with aspirants ahead of the party primary. Can we have an update on how far they have gone? There is also the insinuation that zoning doesn’t favour you in Anambra. What is your reaction?

To put the first leg of your question clearer, it is the South-East APC leadership that set up that committee to look at how to run the Anambra election, interface with all the aspirants with a view to first of all making sure that we have a common relationship, making sure that everybody understands that it isn’t a do-or-die thing, that we have relationship that is beyond elections and I think so far, it has been so good. We have met with them, others have been invited, we have also met together. I think they are sincere and they are committed. They all wish that we win Anambra election. They see the assignment given to them as a serious one. So, I wish them well and I want to assure everyone that every support required of me to make sure that the committee succeeds in this assignment, I will be willing to offer.

Then coming to the issue of zoning. We have tried to address this issue in many scenarios. First of all, Anambra leadership has never met to do zoning in the state. Somebody asked the question: that the North has produced two terms and I say, did those in the South do two terms? Chinwoke Mbadinuju did one term and he comes from the south. After four years, he wasn’t allowed to do a second term. The governorship was given to our brother and leader in the state, Senator Chris Ngige. Thereafter, from Chris Ngige to Peter Obi. Between Ngige and Obi, they did almost 12 years, and it left central and came to the North. North, by November 18 will have done four years. So, if you must talk about equity and fairness, it should return back to south for south to complete their term, then it goes back to north. It equates to the same position of the south. At that point, we can now agree on zoning and then it can commence. You cannot move the goal post in the middle of the match!



What is your take on Igbo presidency?

On the issue of Igbo presidency, why not? By the time the presidency leaves the North after eight years, what will happen is that honestly speaking every zone in this country has produced the president except the South-East and I think that we the leaders of South-East should go back to the drawing table to plot, to think, to work out how it is going to manifest, because we are looking at the president of Nigeria of Igbo extraction. For us to achieve that, we must talk to the northerners, we need to talk to the South-West, we need to talk to every Nigerian to see it from our perspective. If we should be talking about that, I don’t think it makes sense for us to be talking about secession, because they are two straight lines that can never meet
