President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday maintained that his successor will not face the challenge of inadequate power supply in Nigeria.
He made the remark at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, while receiving a delegation of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), led by the Senior Special Assistant on Youth Affairs, Jude Imagwe and NANS President, Yinka Gbadebo.
The President said his administration is doing everything possible to tackle electricity supply challenges in the country.
He also reiterated the commitment of his administration to delivering free, fair and credible elections in the country.
According to him, Nigeria will no longer be a laughing stock but be respected globally as far as credible election is concerned.
The President assured that tertiary institutions in the country will not just be big in population but also in quality, saying he will leave no stone unturned in the efforts to return Nigerian universities to its lost glory and high standard.
President Jonathan said he will do everything to ensure Nigerian universities are rated among the top 500 in the world.
During the visit, he was decorated as the Grand Commander of Nigerian Students (GCNS).
Among the delegation were 10 former NANS presidents and eight former NANS senate presidents, Student Union Presidents in universities, polytechnics, monotechnics and colleges of education.
Thanking the students, the President said the award and words of encouragement will spur his administration to do more.
“To whom much is given more is expected,” he stated. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

I have lost confidence in your administration President Jonathan. We have been suffering poor power supply in your almost concluded four year term. You should check out the poor electricity supply in Benin City right now. Even if you improve power supply, it will be at the federal level, what happens to us in the state level? We are suffering too much in this country. I'm J̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊t̲̥̅̊ so ashamed of my country.

ReplyDeleteA story teller
ReplyDeleteThis is real disappointment. You have failed Nigerians in all areas. Remember then 'I once had no shoes, also remember i want fresh air in Nigeria'. All these are gone issues because you have won elections. What about fighting insurgency? Pls Mr. President, just know that even the southerners are so ashamed of you and your administration. You have completely lost direction, I wonder if you even had.
ReplyDeleteThe truth about Nigeria is, many more enemies to all regime that have intention to turn the country arround for gpod, as many of these enemies benefits from gradual denegration our dear country. For instance, is somebody who is influencial that own generator companies in Nigeria, people of these category will never want regular power in that country, same with people that has numerous trucks, they will not want rail system to work, now come to talk of the middle class business people, some of them are also saboture b/c of their selfish gain, these set of people frustrates government effort, like the cable, transformers robers etc. Really its not easy to be a leader, but if you must be a succesful one, then be ready to crush many toes beyond repare regardless of the toes status in the country, then when you project any project, expect it to be a success. Dubai is a good example, china is another, these countries has tough purnishments for crushing toes regardless of whatever. And who says we can not do same in Nigeria, and even sustain the growth with general good orientation for the people, such will elimimate issue of religion, tribalism, regionalization etc.
ReplyDeleteAction speaks louder than voice. Stop boasting, do things. We are losing hope where you are.
ReplyDeleteOBJ promised UPS throughout his eight fruitless years in office but nothing reasonable came out of it also Yaradua promised however, he died untimely but GEJ started it almost Six years ago but no LIGHT so where is the hope?
ReplyDeleteNigerians appreciate you GEJ but it is obvious without a doubt that you are not fit to do it therefore, please go.
That's all if you wish to be successful Mr president,,
ReplyDeleteIf you want your project to be carried out,, you need noting but to crushe many and set a corruption panel like China if not forget it
Story teller... You have been saying this befor now... Stop telling us stories, do it and let us see it...we are tired of all these campaigns..
ReplyDeleteIT IS WELL.
ReplyDeleteNigerians are not ingrates only the political prostitutes, rouges and corrupt minded are devils and cancers destroying the country. A wise person can never fall into the same pit twice.
ReplyDeletePDP should remember the first promises given to Nigerians during 1999 political campaigns and tell us today which of these promises are fulfilled to date. The most shameful part of PDP administration inefficiency is this insecurity in the country. Haba!
Mr. President should keep his promise to himself and his party cronies and leave the Presidency for better people. This will serves as a great lesson to any other party coming next.
Bye Bye Bye.
