The transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan’s government looks more like a labyrinth, leading to a cul-de-sac. The impact of the agenda is not felt by the people and the economy. - Abike Dabiri-Erewa. “Critical sectors of the national economy are in tatters without any concrete solution and game plan in sight. Those who preside over the affairs of the country at the executive feel that nation building or national development occurs by happenstance.” She lamented Nigeria’s import dependent economy, saying that gas, a potential revenue earner for the country, was being flared with reckless abandon. Describing corruption as Nigeria’s greatest albatross, she added that it had become the official policy of the state. Dabiri-Erewa said, “The education sector is in a shambles, our hospitals today are worse than mere consulting clinics, roads are in a deplorable state of disrepair, power supply is epileptic and the state of security, horrendous. “It is laughable that the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway built in 1978 cannot be fixed by the Federal Government without getting private investors to key in.” She called on Nigerians to stand for their beliefs, justice and progress in the forthcoming general elections. She said Nigerians had a role to play in ensuring the right leaders were elected, as the country’s problem was that of leadership.
