To Take it All and Win the Hungry Hearts of Many Nigerians, President Mohammadu Buhari Must Take Note of the Following.

             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.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari attends the second day of the summit of G7 nations at Schloss Elmau on June 8, 2015 near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. In the course of the two-day summit G7 leaders are scheduled to discuss global economic and security issues, as well as pressing global health-related issues, including antibiotics-resistant bacteria and Ebola.


             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.
