UKONGA- SDMP/ NRP -PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
-2015
THERE IS HOPE FOR NIGERIA TO LEAD THE WORLD AS A SUPER POWER
On behalf of the Chairman of SDMP
His Excellency plenipotentiary
extra ordinary Chief Olu Falae , on behalf of all members of SDMP/NRP, on the
behalf of myself and my supporters in Nigeria and abroad I congratulate the
peoples of the Nigerian Federation with the occasion of the 52ed independence
anniversary celebration on October 1 st, 2012.
We commend all the stakeholders
in the Nigerian project so far so good that we all have satisfied the first category
of assessment for the past years which is remaining as one united country
despite all odds. We commend all our heroes past who have paid the supreme
price to keep Nigeria one. We also commend the efforts of all Nigerians that have
kept the flag flying as one Nation bonded together with one destiny. Consequently
we posit the following observations as germane to the continuous unity and
progress of the Nigerian multi Nationalism if we are to become relevant in the
21 century fraught with extreme competition in the face of a declining mankind.
1. We need to tackle the issue of restive youth and its resulting embarrassments,
in the methods in which they have chosen to express themselves through violence
and destruction of lives and properties on an embarrassing magnitude. This is
to translate to more investment in youth empowerment, education, job creation
and creating an enabling environment for enterprise to thrive.
2. Imperative to the aforementioned is the issue of dilapidating
infrastructural facilities and epileptic electricity generation and distribution
which should be given a boost in order to sustain the Nigerian project and in
this context roads, hospitals, schools, airports, housing, thermal , hydro electric
plants, nuclear plants etal has to be given a push through a national marshal
plan of reconstruction of infrastructural facilities of the Nation which will
create jobs and invigorate the public and private sectors of the economy.
3. We need to be more focused on the targets of vision 20:2020 which is
to place Nigeria as one of the 20 economic and industrial giant of the world by
the year 2020. It is a great vision and to achieve this from our current
position of 38th, we need to leap into the future through an
industrial and agricultural revolution. This should translate to being able to
generate liquid steel as in Ajaokuta Iron and steel complex which should be
completed immediately and made functional, this will also create more than one
million jobs and above 5 million jobs in its downstream sectors addressed to
frog jump the Nigerian polity into a manufacturing category, to compliment this
we need to generate at least 30,000MW of electricity by 2020 and be able to
feed ourselves through an agricultural revolution.
4. We need to check the issue of corruption and rededicate ourselves to
patriotic nation building ethics.
HAPPY 52ED INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
LONG
LIVE SDMP/NRP, LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
