[attachimg=1 align=left] I was reading through my Facebook Wall today where I saw a message from President Goodluck Jonathan's wall which reads "Thank You for a Year of Partnership and Progress". It caught my attention and visit the page to read the full story. I now read Mr President's reaffirmation of its commitment to Nigeria and Nigerians. Read the full note below and post your comments:
QuoteThank You for a Year of Partnership and Progress.
My dear friends,
A year ago today, by the grace of God and the agreement of the Nigerian people, I became your President upon the passing of my late great leader, President Umaru Musa Yar'adua of blessed memory. I do recall that upon my assumption to the Presidency, I addressed the nation and gave a commitment to focus attention on three areas namely, Electoral Reform, Energy Security and Electricity Generation.
Within the last year, I have made every human effort to keep my commitments to the Nigerian people and restore their trust in those administering the affairs of government. While I am not perfect, I can state with a clear conscience that there has been progress in Electoral Reform with the signing of the Electoral Act on August 20, 2010 and the appointment of an INEC board that has now proved itself independent and capable by conducting an election universally acknowledged by neutral parties to be free, fair and credible. On Energy Security, there has been a sustained peace in the Niger-Delta resulting in an increased oil production and other multiplier effects on the economy. On Electricity Generation, this administration launched a Road Map to Power Sector Reforms on the 26th of August which spelt out in detail our plans for improving on power. Furthermore, activities in that sector have yielded fruit in that we now generate electricity at our highest rate in ten years and progress continues.
I have stated all these to give you a sense that commitments freely entered into by this administration which I lead will be kept as much as is humanly possible as I am keen to build trust between government and the governed. Thus, I assure you that I as President will channel all the resources available to the Federal Government to meeting every promise I made to Nigerians during the Presidential campaigns which saw me visit every state in Nigeria.
I therefore thank you for giving me and my team the opportunity to preside over the affairs of Nigeria for the last year and rededicate myself to the service of Nigeria so help me God.
