SIR; Year 2017 is a year to fix all the mess in the country. Our economy should be stabilised, value of the naira should improve and the sky rocketing of prices of essential commodities should be checkmated. We don’t want to hear its PDP or Jonathan’s fault in 2017 because we knew they were at fault that was why we kicked them out and brought you in via our votes to fix the fault. Hence, we don’t want to be reminded of the reason we voted you in.
Your government should tell us what you can achieve and not what you cannot do. Also, it’s not over yet security wise, you have subdued Boko Haram but they are not yet defeated. Give our troops the necessary support to defeat them, also mobilise security operatives to other parts of the country where innocent people are being killed just as you have done in southern Kaduna. The killers should be identified and prosecuted. Corruption still exist in some government agencies, not just stealing, but also job racketeering. Children of the poor don’t know of recruitment process in agencies like Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and others not to talk of getting appointed in such places despite their qualification.
We recall last year that an alarm was raised in various media outfits and even with supporting evidences that the CBN employed hundreds of people without advert. And the people employed were alleged to be children of the ruling elites, all these happened under your administration. No investigation was done, the appointments were not revoked. We have also heard of agencies under the Interior Ministry secretly recruiting. Sadly, these agencies are establishments that require well qualified manpower. The only credible job selection exercise was the N-Power scheme and we all know it’s targeted at the poor. Let there be equal opportunity for all. Dear President, please address all these and many more lapses recorded during your first two years. You only have this year to change your game. Next year would be occupied with 2019 election activities and much would not be expected from your government. You should act fast. You should start by weeding off non-performing ministers and other key appointees in your government. You need people who can think outside the box to fix Nigeria’s problems not those who still think within the box by blaming past administration’s for the problem of our country today.
Halilu Hassan,
Zaria, Kaduna State.
