Hello NLs,

I am very sure most of you would have had a premonition of what this thread is about. In other words, your guess might be as good as the content of this thread.

I am a Nigerian by all standards and the purpose of this thread is to tell you what I would do if I was elected the president of Nigeria. I believe I have been in the country long enough to be able to tell what the generality of Nigerians would want done to move the country forward and make it the envy of many.
First of all I must say nigerians are very enterprising and innovative. I really appreciate this forum (Nairaland) that has been the family house of many nigerians on the internet and the envy of many people in other countries.
On to the reason for this thread,

'IF I WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT';
1. Power is essential for the citizens of any country to operate globally in this 21st century. I will achieve 24 hours uninterrupted power supply with specialist and material made in Nigeria- Reawakening of our industrial sector and more jobs for nigerians. (So entrepreneurs can thrive on low cost power supply with more very low tariff in industrial areas).

2. Ensure that all federal roads are not repaired but rebuilt by locally sourced construction firms that can give best quality. They will only be paid based on part of the job completed, that's why its a construction contract. Selection of firms will be done by nigerians after a certification and check for an history of best practices. This will make commercial drivers stop blaming bad roads for the high cost of transporting people and goods.
I will link each of the 36 states by a fast moving 21st century train that will reduce cost of transportion for the masses. As rail transport is more timely and cheaper compared to road transport. So if you don't want to fly, you tire or you track(if there's anything as such)

3. I will build 4 new refineries and repair any/all of the old ones that's serviceable so nigerians can have petroleum products at much lower prices.

4. I'll build at least one standard federal commercial farm in each of the 36 states along with a processing and packaging industry that will standardize these products to international standard. The increasing population of the world will eat food and not computer chips or crude oil. It can also put Nigeria back in the advantageous position of supplying the world after feeding its population at affordable rate for all classes of its citizens.

5. I'll set up standard setting bodies and regulatory bodies that will rebrand everything nigerian along side a citizen identification database. So if you want to transact with anyone online e.g Nairaland, all you will need is the person's citizen identification number(CIN) which the new Nigerian police staffed only by graduates will have access to and also the EFCC. The CBN will have real time access to the account of every citizen regardless of position in the country with a check for money laundry and other financial misapprioprations. Also, from as small as the quality of our food, health care to how services are being offered.
By the grace of the Almighty.

Thank you.

Kindly share with fellow Nairalanders what you'll do if you were elected president.

Easier said than done. The Cabals would corrupt you. I bet my m'hood on that.

If I fortunate to be Mr. President of this kindom of vampire called Nigeria, my first priority within six months is how to get a new constitution. A constitution that gives no room for immunity clause and corruption. It will be noted that "citizen will have right to sue any lawmaker who refuses to spend constituency allowance within six month, dismiss and jail.
*Power should be dislodge from central to states. Each state to control their natural resources and only pay 10% to federal and state to create more local government. Local government will be increased to 1000 for more development.
* Education will be free from primary to tertiary where all students must acquire craft skill. There will be no more road-side apprenticeship. Artisanism must be enhanced, there will be technologically based technical schools where professional and educationally oriented carpenters, masons, mechanics, tailors etc are produced.
*
All garages will be turned to institutions, under government and not individual government, where government determines the transport fares.
* Fuel price will be reduced 50%

@INTERALIA,
I might have to demand for your m'hood when the time comes. Becareful what you think not. However, there's always the place of mercy.

@Sirniyeh...Nice, I can see a better Nigeria

Let's see what our future leader want in a New Nigeria...because the future is now.

This is another good one. I'm proud that we still have a few good Nigerians that can stay up all night drafting ideas that can move the entire nation to great heights as opposed to north,south,west,east etc. It's great that some Nigerians love this country passionately. @OP,you're another Nigerian I am honestly proud of. I love the ideas in your post. However,please if you do get into that office of the president,please don't deter o. Keep these visions alive. God Bless you.
God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Thank you my brother. Your response shows how passionate you also are about our country. By the special grace of God, I won't deter. And it might just be a dream without your support too.
