The VP and I'll unveil our Economic Blueprint soon. We're cooperating with States not dictating. As the textile industry grows from the 100 Billion Revival Fund, Real Sector from the 500 billion Intervention Fund, Aviation from the 200 Billion Aviation Bail Out and Power improving gradually with the Road Map to Power Reforms, know we learn from Nigeria's best to banish poverty in Nigeria.

Again, in keeping with my stated principle of promising less and delivering more, I, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in breaking with the past have in the first budget presented while I am president allocated the lion's share of N933. 480 billion to education. This is 3 times what was allocated to the next highest sector, defence, at N313. 769 billion.

While some for political reasons talk down the economic progress of Nigeria under this administration attempting to destroy confidence in our economy, its must be disappointing for them that MasterCard, the world's second largest Credit Card operator, has enough confidence in our economy to make Nigeria its base for West/East Africa and the Indian Ocean and appointed a Nigerian, Lanre Monehin, to head operations.

I was deeply pained as the leader of this great nation to read the comments of certain persons who yesterday described some Nigerians who happen to be PDP delegates as being "mere". The Almighty who created all Nigerians does not see them as "mere" and neither do I. We are one nation, one people who have value in the eye of true leaders.

On the 20th of December, I unveiled an initiative aimed at promoting a reading culture in Nigeria via a citizens framework I called 'Bring Back The Book'. Let me use this opportunity to thank you all who attending the event or followed it on television or the Internet. In about 12days time about a hundred Nigerian writers, publishers, booksellers and others involved in the urgent matter of the book will meet in retreat in furtherance of the initiative.

You may have noticed from this year's (2011) budget proposal now before the national Assembly that the administration which I head, by the grace of God and the wishes of the Nigerian people, intends to spend a record amount on education. This amount is easily the largest amount ever devoted to education since Nigeria became an independent nation on the 1st of October 1960.

We are making progress in the power sector and last Tuesday we hit 4,000MW, the first time in 10 years we've reached that level. But it's still not sufficient. While I don't want to set a benchmark, what I can say is that we'll insist on progress monthly. We are not where we need to be, but with the current investment in building the new Super Grid and new power stations we are definitely on the way there.

In keeping with my word given on this page last year where I said the life of every Nigerian has a personal value to me, I, Good luck Jonathan, immediately ordered the evacuation of Nigerians from Egypt when the situation there escalated. Nigerians should be proud to note that before nationals from other countries were... evacuated, Nigeria had evacuated over 500 of her nationals.

I thank my friends who did this. Yes, we have challenges which this administration is trying its best to resolve, however, I agree with them that Nigeria 'go survive' and I approve of this message...

It is my delight to inform my fellow Nigerians that our economy grew by 8.29% during the last quarter of 2010 mostly due to the modest increase in power supply (which this administration is working hard to further improve) and a substantial growth in the agricultural sector. This is good but I know we can do better and... with our joint efforts a double digit growth is within reach this quarter.

As I said last week, we have hit a peak production of 4,000 MW which, though our highest power production in ten years, is still not enough. We are doing everything humanly possible to improve on the power sector and improve we will.
