JONATHAN NA YOU JOOR!!! WHY YOU NEED TO VOTE PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN # Change has come to our railway system. It is now modern and efficient. For example a silent revolution is taking place in Lagos. Everyday, thousands of Lagosians are escaping the hustle and bustle of Lagos traffic by traversing the mainland in the new air condition Diesel Multiple Unit trains. These trains were introduced by Jonathan administration as a fore taste of our plan to develop an inter and intra city high speed train network for Lagos. The Federal Government has already signed a $1.5 Billion contract for the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan Express Train. This service, when complete, will make it possible to live in Ibadan and work in Lagos. This is progressing simultaneously with the $12 Billion Lagos-Calabar coastal rail project. This project is 1,402 kilometers long and will link Lagos to Calabar with stops at cities along the route. Jonathan have good plans for Lagos, plans that will ensure that Lagos continues to be the Center of Excellence and a pride to Nigeria. # Opening up of Nigeria to the global business community and becoming Africas number one destination of foreign investors.

Now, it is 510 billion US dollars. # In 1999, Nigeria debt to GDP Ratio was 93.1%, now it is 13.6% of which external debt to GDP Ratio is 1.89%. # There is a higher level of accountability and transparency in the management of the Nigerian Excess Crude Account (ECA), Foreign Reserve as well as oil proceeds unlike what obtained in the past. # The Africas richest man; Aliko Dangotes net worth increased from US $ 2.1 billion at the start of Goodlucks administration to US $ 23 billion in 2014. And Dangote attributed this increase in his monetary worth to favourable economic policies of the government. # For the first time in over 20 years, the accounts of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) are being audited at the instance of President Jonathan. # Signed Freedom of Information (FOI) bill, which Obasanjo refused to sign. # Approved 18,000 minimum wage from 7, 500 which Obasanjo refused to approve. # There is respect for freedom of expression and civil liberties now, unlike in the past. # Relative non-interference with judicial matters. # Initiate the YOUWIN program in 2011 aims to generate over 100,000 jobs for innovative unemployed youths within three years. # Change has come to the power sector. A majority of consumers pay what they consume. Power generation from 2500MW to 6000 MW and successful privatisation. # Change has come to our airports. The decay Aviation sector to World-Class growth. New ones have been built and old ones remodelled. # Change has come to our road network.

Nigeria is now the Worlds largest producer of Cassava with an output of over 45 million metric tonnes in 2014 according FAO. Also Nigeria has reduced its food imports by over 40% as of 2013, moving the country closer to self sufficiency in Agriculture, and Agricultural practice is not just a means of livelihood, but more as a business. # Change has come to Nigerian electoral process. Now Nigeria has fewer cases of election petitions since the President committed himself to the one person, one vote campaign. # in just one year, Nigeria went from 50 polio cases to 6. And arresting the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease. # Women in politics have been given more prominent roles. # No more scarcity of fuel or increase in price during festive periods like Chrismas. # Change has come to the education sector. Besides increased budgetary allocations, there have been special programs and interventions. For instance, under the Almajiri education program, 125 day and boarding schools are being constructed in 27 states,while their equivalents, the Back to School Special Vocational Schools in the South East and South South are being established. And 12 new universities. # The government has also earmarked the injection of N13 trillion into the Nigerian university system in the next six years to fund the revitalization of infrastructure and key programs that would revolutionize the nation’s universities. I can go on and on. # Introduction and execution of Nigeria Electronic Identity Card. # Establishment of 3826 primary health care centres, teaching hospitals, and SURE-P.
