Yar'Adua's Seven-Point Agenda (Plus Two Special Issues)

Yar'Adua's Seven Plus Two Point Agenda to Transform Nigeria

Seven Major Issues.................

1. Power and Energy .

2. Food Security and Agriculture

3. Wealth Creation and Employment

4. Mass Transportation

5. Land Reform

6. Security

7. Qualitative and Functional Education

Plus Two Special Interest Issues....

1. Niger Delta

2. Disadvantaged Groups


POWER AND ENERGY – The infrastructural reforms in this critical sector through the development of sufficient and adequate power supply will be to ensure Nigeria’s ability to develop as a modern economy and an industrial nation by the year 2015.

FOOD SECURITY – This reform is primarily agrarian based. The emphasis on the development of modern technology, research, financial injection into research, production and development of agricultural inputs will revolutionalize the agricultural sector leading to a 5 – 10 fold increase in yield and production. This will result in massive domestic and commercial outputs and technological knowledge transfer to farmers.

WEALTH CREATION – By virtue of its reliance on revenue from non-renewal oil, Nigeria has yet to develop industrially. This reform is focused on wealth creation through diversified production especially in the agricultural and solid mineral sector. This requires Nigerians to choose to work, as hard work by all is required to achieve this reform.

TRANSPORT SECTOR – The transportation sector in Nigeria with its poor roads networks is an inefficient means of mass transit of people and goods. With a goal of a modernized industrialized Nigeria, it is mandatory that Nigeria develops its transport sector. The PDP government has already started this process by the ongoing rehabilitation and modernization of the railway. While the reforms might take some time to take effect, it is a need that must be addressed.

LAND REFORMS – While hundreds of billions of dollars have been lost through unused government-owned landed asset, changes in the land laws and the emergence of land reforms will optimize Nigeria’s growth through the release of lands for commercialized farming and other large scale business by the private sector. The final result will ensure improvements and boosts to the production and wealth creation initiatives.

SECURITY – An unfriendly security climate precludes both external and internal investment into the nation. Thus, security will be seen as not only a constitutional requirement but also as a necessary infrastructure for the development of a modern Nigerian economy. With its particular needs, the Niger Delta security issue will be the primary focus, marshaled not with physical policing or military security, but through honest and accurate dialogue between the people and the Federal Government.

EDUCATION – The two-fold reforms in the educational sector will ensure firstly the minimum acceptable international standards of education for all. With that achieved, a strategic educational development plan will ensure excellence in both the tutoring and learning of skills in science and technology by students who will be seen as the future innovators and industrialists of Nigeria. This reform will be achieved through massive injection into the Education sector.

Nigeria-Candidate-Programme

Presidential candidate of Nigerian ruling party unfolds 7-point action plan

APA - Lagos (Nigeria) The presidential candidate of the Nigerian ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Umaru Yar’adua said on Thursday in Abuja that he will dialogue with the people of the Niger Delta on the youth restiveness in the region.

Yar’adua, who announced a seven-point action plan for his administration if elected President, told journalists that the resolution of the Niger Delta crisis will be part of a comprehensive security plan of his regime.

“We will invest heavily on the resolution of the Niger Delta crisis as part of our security strategy, with focus on dialogue with the people," he said.

He explained that security agencies would be given adequate financial attention, to enable them cope with new challenges and argued : “There cannot be a viable economy without a good security system."

Yar’adua also promised that more than 30,000 megawatts of electricity would be realized in the first five years of the administration, and assured that the ongoing reforms in the power sector would be sustained.

“Our plan is to launch a national emergency programme on the power sector, because we believe that there cannot be any meaningful industrial development without steady power supply," he said.

On food security, the presidential candidate said he would commit “heavy investment’’ into the agriculture sector to boost production and improve technology in modern farming.

“Our desire is to invest heavily in agriculture, to increase productivity and to revolutionize the agriculture technology through injection of more funds," he added.

He said he would diversify the country’s source of wealth creation, to avoid continuous dependence on the petroleum sector and said : “You cannot run an economy with revenue from just one source."

Yar’adua said he would encourage greater exploitation of the agriculture and solid mineral sectors to expand the country’s revenue base and to transform the transportation system by investing in the railways, roads and waterways.

“We need an effective, efficient and reliable transportation network for the country, to ease the movement of goods and people to meet with the increasing demands of our economy," he said.

At the launch of his campaign office earlier in the day, Yar’adua said all PDP candidates were set to start campaigns for the April general elections.

“The launch of this office shows that myself and all the PDP candidates across the country are set to go to the field, with the zeal to work hard and win at the polls," he said.

The national chairman of PDP, Chief Ahmadu Ali, who spoke at the event attended by President Olusegun Obasanjo, challenged opposition parties to launch their campaign programmes for the electorate to make a comparison.

He called on Nigerians to cooperate with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the success of the general elections and said : “We want to ensure an election that is free, fair and credible before the eyes of the watching international community."


Yar’Adua Rolls Out Seven-point Agenda

Umaru Yar’Adua, the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, got off the block on Thursday by enunciating a seven-point agenda to tackle the myriad of problems in Africa’s most populous country.

He told a press conference after his campaign headquarters (Legacy House) was commissioned in Abuja, that he would declare a national emergency on energy and power, to get Nigeria out of economic predicament, since power is the tonic for industrial growth.

He was accompanied by his running mate, Goodluck Jonathan; PDP National Chairman, Ahmadu Ali; and Board of Trustees (BOT) Chairman, Tony Anenih.Governor Adamu Mu’azu of Bauchi State has been named as his Chief of Staff, while Governor Bukola Saraki of Kwara State has joined the PDP National Campaign Council. Yar’Adua expressed hope that power supply would rise to 10,000 megawatts (mw) before the end of the year.

This proposal is feasible, he stressed, because the country needs to achieve at least 30,000 mw in 2011 and 50,000 mw by 2015. He promised to carry out massive industrialisation so that Nigeria would move from a consumer nation to a productive one. He said he would tackle corruption headlong to ensure "a civilised society where laws are obeyed."

He plans to repeal the Land Use Act of 1978 through reforms that would liberalise the acquisition and ownership of land. The Act places such ownership in the hands of the government. Worried by the inconsistencies in the Constitution – among them the procedure for the creation of councils – Yar’Adua stressed the need for amendments to correct the imbalances in the system, as Constitution need conforms with realities for effective application.

He spoke of food security as an impetus for the productive sector, and promised investment in agriculture through modernising its technology.This, he said, would anchor on the desire for wealth creation "so that we can shift from the undue emphasis on oil and gas, now our burden." Yar’Adua lamented that dependence on oil and gas revenue is like building an economy on revenue from rents. He promised to change the trend by developing agriculture and the solid minerals sector.

He harped on the need for a radical turn around in the security of lives and property, which "is a necessary infrastructure for the development of a modern economy, because local and foreign investors would be assured of their investments." He pledged to give priority to security in the Niger Delta and to anchor his programmes on the PDP manifesto bound by the tenets of the Constitution.

To develop human capacity, Yar’Adua promised to declare free and compulsory education for all children at all levels if elected, and to fund the sector sufficiently. Anenih, too, was up beat. He scoffed at the chances of opposition parties in the elections and enthused that the PDP would double its victory in 2003. He told the party faithful to go all out because there is no opposition. Legacy House was President Olusegun Obasanjo’s campaign office in 2003, which Anenih headed.

Before the polls that year, Anenih had declared that there were no vacancies in the Government Houses controlled by the PDP. It proved right, except in Kano. He maintained on Thursday that the PDP has laid the road map towards victory and told the members to gather the harvest. Ali said the choice of Yar’Adua and Jonathan represents a generational shift to implement the party’s programmes.

He expressed hope that the policies of the PDP provide the guiding principle for meaningful development. Director General of PDP Campaign Organisation, Bode George, said the commissioning of the office is a bold stride of the determination to consolidate democracy. The PDP has a message of hope for all Nigerians as Obasanjo formally hands over Legacy House to Yar’Adua, he said.

I honestly believe that Mr.President Yar'adua will deliver this country. However, what sadly gives me concern is the so called
"invisible" elites haboured at the corridors of power which most government seem unable to dispense with, except perhaps Buhari/Idiagbon wonderful and memorable regime.
2.What is cardinal is the fact taht certain persons and ideas in and of the People's Democratibc Part PDP MUST be sacrificed and dispensed with. Am not unmidful of the fact taht PDP sponsored Mr. President Yar'adua, what is pertinent at the moment is the fact Mr. President is now the number 1 citizen of Nigeria whose focus, duty, rsponsibility and trust is theentire nation and not any P

the best thing the government can do about power is to let each state of the fediration to have an independent power plant.this isi because, if mobil oil can generate 3500mw of power.and nNgeria as a country of over 140,000,000 people will generate 3000mw.there is a big difference.one of the major problem with nigerian power sector is the power distribution.thanks.

For qualitative & functional education to achieved, the issue of incessant strike most be checked particularly at the University level.

Yar Adua is not Nigeria's president. He was cherry-picked and rigged into Aso Rock by one man, Olusegun Obasanjo, and Obasanjo could not have found a more disqualified candidate for the job. The supreme court needs to sack Yar'Adua ... that's the first thing that needs to happen. After that, Nigerian can then search their consciences to figure out who is capable taking the country from where it is to where it can be.

Nigeria's problem is not policy, It is IMPLEMENTATION and CONSISTENCY. It is high time Nigeria administators start adopting the principle of continuity. It is continuity that makes any establishment or organization stands. If every leader that comes into position comes up with their policies and put aside the the one in place before their tenure, Nigeria will NEVER grow because every 4,4 years , we'll be having different policy, that will never be fully implemented in the tenure if onle becuase of DUE PROCESS. I think the National Assembly should find a way of including a clause in the constitution that will facilitate continuity of some national policy made towards growth. Continuity and Co(more...)

Nigeria suffers from a multiple but system wide disorders that I suspect it will take a committed president 2 terms of concentrating on a few issues to get us moving. The good thing is many of these problems are interwoven and taking care of somewill substantially improve others well in advance of direct action. For example-stable electricity, good roads, portable water will have such a multiplier effect that we will see progress even before we start to tackle health and education issues.

Mr. President should be allowed to rule the country since he is more transperent than all other candidates for the Presidency. My advice to him is to stay away from highly corrupt monsters like Obasanjo whose sences are out of course. Yar'Adua ride on. Am in support of your administration.

Woeful failure is already characterised hence Nigeria lack the practice of continuity. This is not the first nor would it be the last economic policy for Nigera. Take the failed ones like MAMSER, DFFRI, NEEDS, Operation Feed the Noation, Green Revolution, etc. The seven point Agenda of the president is comming to join in the list of failed economic policies. Out of the 7 none is implemented and one year in office has elapsed. How would he implement within 3 years the 7 point agenda?

mr president should be allowed to do that which he knows best (7pionts agenda) and understand. the sycophants in our society shouldn't forget that Rome wasn't built in a day. thus to restructure Nigeria is not going to be in a period of one year in office but a longer period. hence i urge all to join hands with Mr president to take the country forward to greater heights..

i think mr president is a lot too slow on his seven point agenda. if after one year he is still planning one wonders when and how long the implementation will take. let him pick one or two aspects of our economy and deal with it for life. worthy of note however is the fact that health did not feature prominently on his agenda.

Secondly, i will really appreciate it if there is an address or a particular web address confidentially designed to accept or recieve useful recommendations of the Nigerians who have victims of sub standard education and believe that it can only be better by submitting such useful information on how to address some of thes education challenges so to speak.

Why seven point agenda? For me, this amounts to biting more than one can chew, given that Yar'Adua is generally known for his slow approach to issues. Why not concentrate on one or two, especially the power sector and security? If these two are well resolved, most other things would naturally follow.

Making power a number one issus of the seven-point aganda shows that the president is interested in the economic development of Nigeria. But will he really deliver or will the praise singers and the like of them allow him? Mr president, there is still much to be done for Nigeria to take its rightful place in Africa and the world durinf your regime. The recognition of Nigeria as the "giant of Africa" is gradually eroding from the minds of many people. Let us join hand to restore this glory to our beloved country, fellow nigerians. God bless Nigeria!

I feel sad that we have not really learnt as a people.

Our problem is all about leadership. It would be difficult to separate leadership from vision. All good leaders are driven by visionr.

What is vision? Vision is seeing the future, in the present, built on the past. Vision is seeing the invisible and making it visible. Vision is an informed bridge from the present to a better future.

My problem is not about leadership in Government, but leadership in ourselves.

May God bless Nigeria

Justice,transperency, equity and justice is the only way out to achieve the seven point agenda. This is the time when the politician will see themselves as slave of the masses. When ethics are followed and not money. When we can cherish good name rather than wealth.

The agenda are wonderful but implimentation of plans has been the major problem of Nigeria past leaders. we have good plans, but we dont follow it to the end.
I will advice to president to work on power and road construction very well. when there is power, cost of living will come down because companies will stop running there business on generator, communication industry's charges will reduce. good road also reduce the rate of depreciation of motors. When there is light, investor will see Nigeria as a good place to invest due to a reduction in the cost of investment due to the availability of light. I believe, Power and road should be attended to very fast.

I think the seven point Agenda is really suited for the present national Economic Situation.

The president no doubt meant well by these proposals. However judging by the lack of achievement of any of the 7 points agenda after almost two years, it appeared the promises made were mere rhetorics. This has always been the problem with Nigeria - Non Performing Politicians.

where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable, i believe strongly that as a nation we have to dis cover our purpose and direct our energy to achieving it, then we`ll be respected for it, not just by the whole wolrd but also by posterity.
the beginning of this is understanding that we are not made to consume but to produce. when we realise this then we`ll understand why our concentration should be developing our young mind, putting the best into them and establishing in them the right value system.

Yes, the president means well for the country, but he cannot deliver. he is ill and Turai is not cut out for this.

Am very sure that nothing is impossible considering the positive physical changes that are taking place in Lagos state of the country. My own advice to the Mr. President is that he should tackle a problem at a time and not try to solve all the problems at a time in order to avoid not achieving anything at the end of his term.

Thanks for the sevenpoint agenda taht you ought to do but we can not still thank you when it as not been done but we will be gratefull if you can do it.
And also if you can help us with this agenda we will be gratefull particularly in the side of education
And also the issue of job in this country is very rampant that is the situation whereby a graduate can not see work to do i think this is unfair if you can assist us with this we will be more than happy.

if the 7points agenda is still in the pipelines, i suggest that the pipelines should be vandalised for implementations before it too late.........or is it untill we have grown too old to benefit from it? i suggest it's high time we fulfil our promises than still promising.....

Mr. President,
This country of our will be better if there are good administrator to handle some sensitive position in the government offices.

Also, the problems of this country are money but the way our leaders are spend it is not accountable.

Mr. President, instruct the power holding company to release the power for individuals, organization, industries, government to use.

Our transportation is very bad, see to it.

Create employment for our youth.
Finally, pray for the betterment of this noble country.
"the development of our country is our jointly responsibilities" call the best people to assist you.
