It's almost one year now when President Buhari take over the mantle of power as the president of Nigeria as well as a civilian rule. He must be ready to satisfy the hungry hearts of many Nigerians who came out to vote him as their president and bring the desiring changes they have been hungry for, for a very long time.
Below is a list of things he should bear in mind and be careful:
1. Buhari must do all it takes to fight insecurity. Innocent children,
women and men can no longer continue to die in the hands of cruel
insurgents. Buhari must make the Northeast in particular and Nigeria in
general safe for Nigerians.
2. Buhari’s administration should focus on...
increased self-reliance and
considerable reduction of Nigeria’s continued dependence on the
external sector in general and the Petroleum sector in particular.
3. Buhari must create an enabling system that would spur the growth of
entrepreneurs and unlock wealth. His government must be ready to team
up with Nigerian youths who have what it takes to succeed as
entrepreneurs.
4. Despite being the third biggest economy in Africa, Nigeria ranks
160 out of 177 countries on the scale of the Human Development Index
(HDI), because a huge amount of the nation’s wealth remains concentrated
within a few individuals, most of whom have strong political
connections, therefore Buhari must do all he can to ensure an even
distribution of income.
5. Nigerians in their millions decisively voted for change, therefore
the onus is on Buhari’s administration to ensure the change they voted
for. The change should include building of infrastructures, institutions
and people which would ensure that revenues and benefits from mineral
resources could be better captured for national budgets and generation
of more jobs.
6. Buhari must lay strong foundations for the future leadership of
Nigeria to operate years and years to come. This he has already begun
with his anti-corruption fight but must ensure to make it all
encompassing and not selective.
He cannot afford to fail because Nigerian Citizens are now wise and also mature in terms of government and choosing leaders in the country.
