Elueme: Nice and prompt from the president , fed republic of nigeria. I Smh for those rediculing and seizing this gesture to talk down on the president. He has done what is necessary and his congratulatory message is no less valuable than that of any other world leader.. your ultitude is tide to your altitude. You may think you are a less superior being, that is explainable but don't rub it on other Nigerians. The president has our mandate.

Maduale: Maku is on fire. I just like the way the man talks. He is making real sense. He is saying that without this tour many people will be ignorant of the ongoing programmes of govt.
He says democracy is all about participation and govts at all levels must be accountable to the people at each point in time. # making sense.

ANALIST: The tour is real and had not only come to stay but has revealed( and will continue to reveal more), more ground breaking projects of governments- both state and federal in all the states. Though many may not be happy about this tour but we know that as it is with other ventures, there must be critics.
But as a TRUE NIGERIAN I am not only in support of the tour but will suggest we make it an annual policy of government so we can evaluate physically and tangibly of all the projects that we are told that are under construction or completion. In this sense my dearest reader, we can condemn or appreciate the effort or otherwise of any government in power and have the audacity of clarity to do justice on them by our public opinion and judgement.

The question we must ask is what will the people, government and institutions benefit from this tour? Is it part of government duty to showcase its projects or not? What is the significance of this tour?etc.
To analyse, we must understand government and why we are governed in the first place( may be greed and desperation have denied us the first study of live-politics, for every man " is a political animal" before expecting dividend of any type of government which democracy is the best so far practised.
Government has the sole duty to organise, manage and distribute the human and natural resource of the polity for te overall utilisation and benefit of all, otherwise known in political science as allocation of scarce resources.
This is why and where the interest of every Nigeria comes in, in the activities, policies and agenda of every leader in government. The projects shown so far in Plateau, Niger and Benue state have not only economic and human capital development bearing on Nigeria but stimulates and motivates every right thinking Nigerian that it takes only POLITICAL WILL(which we've practically seen) and the decision on the part of Nigerians to work hard for us to get to the promised land; where citizens of other nations will seek Nigerian citizenship because of the benefits and security of their posterity like other developed countries of the world
. We must use now than ever the 100,000 cubic metric tones of water in Benue state, 350 bed capacity of 500 staffs with 10 professors and 50 Doctors of Benue state university teaching hospital, the new port construction in Niger state, the renewed international aiports etc as Nigerians for our Agricultural, health and business activities to mention but a few-thereby increasing our development and longevity.

The government in touring these site should not be seen as self-praising, but should be seen as the most practical way and means of matching action with words. For insatance dear friends, at one of the sites of a school block yesterday the Infomation minister Maku, made an instant inquiry why a cracked project should continue when it is obvious that the quality of work done is below standard. For the stuttering principal she could not help but give her own side of the story. Such is the transparency we need. In a polity where citizens will understand from every location we might be what the government is doing in other parts of te country.

It is no hidden knowledge that private sectors moves in line with government agenda and policies which is why investors study countries' and states budgets in order to know where to plunge in their money for fast return on investment(ROI).This can be seen in Akwa Ibom states, Bayelsa and indeed the ubiquitous projects of the Federal Government.

Therefore it should be foreseen that the exposition of the strategic projects for economic development of the Federal and state governments will in addition induce local and foreign investors in many state and diverse area of our economic and plitical development thereby making Nigeria a fast growing economy like other Asian countries.
Government through oversight by the Legislature and verification tour otherwise termed "Good Governance Tour" is not only needed but desired for all to know what the facts on governance and developmental projects stands at.

The significance therefore, is that Nigerians must stand tall and look at the derivable benefits of these projects which are enormous and take advantage of ten all.
It is a welcome development for all.

Bukkyade: Haters will avoid this thread like a plague. They will rather prefer to go to other threads and lambast the govt for not doing anything at all.
Witches and wizards

Maduale:

The above projects were executed by president Goodluck Jonathan. Let's not confuse them with that of Jang.

Demdem: No problem. If Akeredolu feels he has a good case, he should be encouraged to go to court. Its not out of place. I wish him luck.

Puntae:
A wonderful submission... I can't but align with ur argument on the lack of responsibility and attention on matters of governance by our present day youth... Little wonder their mal-nourished critiscism about the Government.

Chidi4u: As for Awolowo,His cause of
death is sucide as a result of
frustration form one
Nigeria,because of promise and
dream of one day becoming the
president of One Nigeria which never materialised.

uzomagic:
What do you mean by come clean? Why are you guys poke nosing on the health status of a president's spouse? How is it your business. Isn't it sufficient information that she is sick and resting? What more details do you want to hear? Was patience elected? Or is she a public servant at the national level ? Why this hairsplitting about the health status of someone who is a nonentity according to Nigerian Constitution. How has Madam Patience absence affected governance in any department in Nigeria? Which file is awaiting Patience Jonathan's consideration? What business of governance does Saharareporters want Madam patience Jonathan to come and handle?

I have seen people make all kind of useless comments. Some people even claimed they deserve to know because it is their money. Who told you? Did you see any voucher being raised for her medical trip? Or you saw an allocation in the 2012 budget for her medical bills? So beyond presidency, patience Jonathan does not have money to undergo a medical trip abroad? Does the president no longer earn salaries and allowances? How is it your business to query how the president decides to spend his allowance? How is it your business if the president decides to spend his allowance on his family's medical trip abroad?
Jobless people.

Mandelaguy: Ask some of us that know his escapades at crystal lounge and Ibiza,he is highly irresponsible,when it comes to women,Dino has no self respect.
