Deputy Chairman, Finance Committee of the Presidential Campaign Organisation, Dr. Ngozi Olejeme, has said she was confident People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan would be returned to power in the March 28 Presidential Elections.
“PDP will have a resounding victory. That is very clear” she told Niger Delta youths on Saturday in Asaba.
Olejeme, who sought the support of the young and old to make Nigeria great, said President Jonathan would work closely with all Nigerians.
“The youth are Nigeria’s future. To this end, the PDP government will continue to spread employment opportunities across the country and ensure every youth has access to quality education that could secure them a place in a globalised and highly competitive job market,” she said.
Promising that Jonathan would continue to accelerate the social, political and economic development of Nigeria, Olejeme cited environmental protection, social safety nets for the vulnerable population, development of the agricultural, livestock and fishing industries, expansion of infrastructural projects, especially roads, energy and transport, expansion in jobs, food security, national security, people-led governance, quality education, health care, and national unity as top priority items in the Jonathan led PDP government.
The Jonathan-led PDP government, she said, not only put in place transparent systems but revitalised the country’s manufacturing, agriculture and tourism sectors.
“President Jonathan established 12 federal universities. His administration through the National Universities Commission (NUC) gave rise to quality international and local private universities across the country. He tarred over 25,000 kilometres of the 36, 000 km federal roads. He completed over 90 per cent of narrow gauge rails. He implemented the Nigerian content law in the oil industry, thus improving the participation of Nigerians in the industry. He also implemented the cabotage law with Nigerians now owning ships and more Nigerians employed in the shipping industry. He also established Maritime University for high-powered man-power development in the Maritime Sector.
