In what appears to be an election campaign statement to rebut those
who say his government has failed, President Jonathan has in a New Year
message to Nigerians rolled out a list of his “achievements” in the past
year.
Among them, he claimed his government may have been responsible for
an astounding 1.6 million jobs in 2013 alone, but did not clarify where
the jobs were filled.
“Our national budget for 2014 which is now before the National
Assembly is specifically targeted at job creation and inclusive growth,”
he said.
“We are keenly aware that in spite of the estimated 1.6 million new
jobs created across the country in the past 12 months as a result of our
actions and policies, more jobs are still needed to support our growing
population. Our economic priorities will be stability and equitable
growth, building on the diverse sectors of our economy.”
Mr. Jonathan did not say anything about the challenge of leading by
example, and only referred to corruption and bad governance, which his
critics claim he is nurturing in the country, in passing.
“I urge all Nigerians, no matter
their stations in life, to rededicate themselves to contributing
meaningfully to further enrich our national heritage.
The time for that
re-dedication is now, not tomorrow,” he said, referring to the 2014
being Nigeria’s centenary year.Please how true is this oh??
