The presidency has unveiled a voluminous list of achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
The list highlighted the achievements of the incumbent government across sectors of the economy.
This was revealed in a statement released by a presidential media aide Femi Adesina.
Adesina described the 91-page document as a one-stop shop.
He said the document which contains the achievements of the present government was put together by the Presidential Communications Team.
The statement said: ‘The document, titled ‘Buhari’s Footprints on the Sands of Time’, is all encompassing, and attempts to answer questions of citizens who might not have been abreast with the much that had so far been recorded as achievements of the administration’.
“In about four weeks, President Muhammadu Buhari touches down as the country’s number one citizen. For eight years he has served, making salutary impact on nearly all sectors of the national landscape – security, economy, anti-corruption, infrastructure; rail, roads, air and sea ports, power, housing, water resources, the oil and gas sector, legislative matters, foreign affairs, sports, youth development, and many others.
“The Presidential Communications Team here brings a one-stop shop of achievements under the Buhari administration covering eight years of two terms. It’s a collector’s item, an answer to the questions of those who would rather cavil, looking at a half-empty cup, rather than a half-filled one.
“Those who are objective, taking a dispassionate look at this fact sheet, would admit that President Buhari came and served meritoriously. As he had promised many times, he would not be leaving Nigeria the way he met it.
“A report card of the administration? It is so and more. Welcome to view the indelible footprints of Muhammadu Buhari on the sands of time.”
We’re waiting for Tinubu’s directive on census, we’re prepared — NPC
The National Population Commission (NPC) has announced its readiness to conduct the National Housing and Population Census, saying it is waiting for the directive of the administration of the president elect Senator Bola Tinubu.
This was revealed by the NPC’s Director of Census, Dr Isiaka Yahaya at a press briefing on Sunday April 30.
Yahaya dismissed the speculation that the ill-preparedness of the Commission triggered the postponement of the census exercise.
He said the NPC has a formidable foundation for the exercise.
“The preparation will continue as it is a process that has started. We have done everything that needs to be done and we are ready to move. If not for the rescheduling of the gubernatorial elections, the census would have held because we felt after the initial fate, the post elections healing would set in which would have allowed the smooth conduct of the census.”
He said the Commission has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it’s ready to conduct its first digital census.
“Technically, we are ready as we have the enumeration area information of all the 774 local governments in the state. We have used various methods to collect the data on all the houses on the country including places where there is insecurity and we are ready to go into those places to conduct the census.”
