2011 Post Election Updates - Further on Promising Less and Delivering More, Says President Jonathan

[sparrow]

I stumbled upon this again today on the Facebook wall of President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria reiterating his pre-electoral promises. Read the statement below:

The elections are over but I intend to build trust between the government and the governed by keeping commitments I made.  Recall that I had a refrain during the campaigns-Promise less, Deliver more. It remains a principle this administration intends to live by and the Vice President and I are acutely aware of the needs of Nigerians having visited ALL states during the campaigns.

In our analysis of your needs, we determined that Power was of the highest priority in the scale of preference of Nigerians thus it is also our highest priority.

For instance, Vice President Namadi Sambo, on behalf of the Federal Government was at the Sapele Power Plant on Friday the 6th of May for an onsite supervision of progress and the FG determined that two of the four turbines at that station have been completed and are ready to contribute 451 megawatts of electricity to the National Grid while work on the remaining two continues on schedule for an August 2011 completion.

Before then, he was at the Olorunsogo Power plant on the 5th of May again on behalf of the Federal Government to assess work on the ongoing Phase 11 Combined Cycle Power Station Project and the FG is satisfied that it will be possible to commission this project within six months and inject an additional 750 megawatts into the National Grid.

These activities are to let Nigerians know that the plans I unveiled on the 26th of August, 2010, when I launched the Roadmap to Power Sector Reforms are on track and that under my leadership the Federal Government will deliver results and not activity hence my vow to you to promise less and deliver more so help us God.
