The Presidency has given 12 reasons why
Nigerians must re-elect President Goodluck Jonathan for another term of
four years during the March 28 presidential election.
This was contained in a piece, titled,
“Twelve reasons to support Jonathan,” published in the current edition
of the in-house magazine of the State House, Abuja, called Villascope.
It listed some of the reasons to include
the present administration strides in road construction, railway
rehabilitation, remodeling of airports, transformed agriculture sector
and increased access to education.
Others are increased access to housing,
improved power supply, improved water supply, better health facilities,
reformed security infrastructures, economic transformation and increased
Nigerians’ participation in downstream oil sector.
The Presidency said Jonathan met 4,500km of motorable roads but constructed/rehabilitated 25,000km of roads.
This, it said, had drastically reduced travel time nationwide.
It added that about five million
Nigerians now travel by train after the present administration
rehabilitated the nation’s railway.
On education, it said, “Jonathan built 125 Almajiri schools, 14 universities and special schools for girls in 27 states.
“He gave 101 scholarships to first-class graduates to pursue postgraduate courses in the best 25 universities in the world.
“He sponsored 7,000 lecturers of federal
and state universities and polytechnics for postgraduate studies to
improve quality teaching.”
The Presidency further said that 61,000 housing units had been built in the six geo-political zones of the country.
