The President Scorecard began with a courageous mark:

 1] Timely preparation of budget and deliberation and approval by Senate: This is perhaps the first time in Nigerian History were the Budget for the year is settled within a week or perhaps two weeks to the beginning of another year. This is highly commendable.

2]Improved Education: The level of failure in school certificate exams has dropped from the former above 80% in OBJ era to a marked significant 62 % failure last week according the new SSCE exams results released by WAEC. This is a good development and if the 2013 budget, were education took the second largest shear and with the contributions from governors it is anticipated that an annual drop of 10% will just see our educational standards improving to less than 40 % failure by the end of the president 4 years term  and this projection and success is laudable and commendable as the most difficult thing in the world to do is changing the direction of trends for the positive and once this is achieved it is easy to continue the improvement... congratulations

9]Health: Similarly lots were done on the anti AIDS / HIV campaign, Malaria , typhoid and many other killer diseases... some states had improved hospitals as well, but 2013 should witness an improvement in health sectors.

10]Agriculture and industry: The President Agricultural schemes are commendable but more is required. The capacity utilization of the industries improved with improved power supply but more is required as regards the real sector of the economy.

11] FDI AND Foreign Policy thrust: This department witnessed tremendous success and if the trend is kept in the 2013 year Nigeria will emerge to be gradually taking its right place among Nations of the world

12} Anti - Corruption Crusade: Our index on the anti corruption tables of some organizations of the world plummeted due to the fact that other insecurity issues of bombing etc is diverting the attention from the anti corruption crusade but notable and commendable was that at the burial of the Former Governor of Kaduna state the President reinstated the commitment of his Government to strict public probity and the EFCC has moved into action declaring  Former Korgi State Governor Audu wanted while the ICPC has given directives that torch that money and go to jail to Ministers and Directors...it is a commendable rejigging  the anti corruption crusade...
13] INEC / CONSOLIDATION OF NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC EXERCISE:  INEC was able to organize the best election in Nigerian history as in Edo election 2012 and moving towards autonomy and consolidation of the Nigeria democratic institutions. This is commendable.

Lastly we wish the President of the Nigerian Federation happy new year in Advance and all Nigerians at home and in Dispora- and advice the President and all members of his government to put more efforts to service delivery, focus, transparency and hard work and to announce that the overall scorecard of his one year in government of 2012 is above average... about 65% which is highly commendable by the high standards of international standard practice used by National Peoples News..
