President Buhari Has Solutions To Nigeria’s Problems – Mohammed
The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has the blueprint to tackle Nigeria’s developmental challenges.
He noted that Nigeria has enormously and critical challenges in many sectors especially in areas of health, poverty, education and unemployment.
He, however, said Buhari’s administration had worked out immediate, intermediate and long term measures to ameliorate the challenges in all critical sectors.
ADVERTISEMENT
Mohammed spoke on Thursday during his 9th Ramadan Lecture in Oro, Kwara State.
He said Buhari’s government would solve the problems ‘even in the face of paucity of funds.
According to him, the paucity of funds was caused by the fall in the price of crude oil, which Nigeria depended on for most of its foreign exchange earnings.
He added that the paucity of funds was caused by the alleged “unbridled and maddening corruption that has seen public officers ferreting away public funds.”
Mohammed said, “I have deliberately taken us through the grim statistics in the very key areas of health, education, poverty and unemployment to drive home the point that we are in trouble, as a nation, if we don’t act in a deliberate, concerted and determined way to turn things around for the better.”
He said that while Nigerians had made history by voting for the APC to take over the reins of power from a ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, that held sway for 16 years, they must now follow up by ensuring that the process of change – which they brought about – came into fruition.
According to him, the best way to do it is for Nigerians to remain politically-aware and engaged as they were in the run-up to the elections.
“That simply means they must be willing to defend the change they voted for by continuing to support the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, while preventing the reactionary forces, who never wanted or voted for change anyway, from sabotaging his party’s change mantra. Whatever is worth fighting for is worth defending.
“I say this with all sense of responsibility, and against the stark realities that we face daunting challenges in all sectors. Never before has our nation been put in a situation where it virtually had to start rebuilding from the scratch, after almost all sectors have become nearly comatose. This is why it is necessary for the new government at the centre to make haste slowly, and get it right once and for all.
“Whereas we face huge problems in the economic and security sectors, as well as in the area of infrastructural renewal, just to mention a few, let us restrict ourselves to the social issues alone for the purpose of these remarks.”
He said that the nation’s health sector was in serious distress.
According to him, Nigeria’s health statistics are worse than the average for African countries, even though Nigeria claims to be the giant of Africa.
He said 128 children were dying in every 1000 live births as of 2013 while mortality from malaria was estimated at 1,157 deaths per 100,000 population.
He added that tuberculosis was estimated at five deaths per 100,000 population in 2013.
He stated that “about 900,000 children and mothers die each year in Nigeria, accounting for 14 per cent of all maternal and 13 per cent of all under-5 deaths globally, and second only to India.”
According to him, at 576 deaths per 100,000 live births, the maternal mortality ratio has remained static since 2008.
He stated that although child mortality is falling, progress is insufficient to reach the MDG targets.
Mohammed also said that “an increasing proportion of child deaths, that is 37 per cent, occurs during the first month of life from largely preventable causes which are complications during birth, infection and complications of premature births.”
He added that under-nutrition remained a significant challenge, contributing to 35 per cent of deaths in children under-5 years in Nigeria.
“The proportion of underweight – children who have low weight for their age- increased by 21% between 2003 and 2013, and the proportion of children with wasting, that is low weight for height, increased by 64% during the same period.
“Overall, socio-economic and geographical inequalities in health outcomes and access to healthcare are stark and increasing, with the poor and rural having worst outcomes.
“In the area of immunisation, Nigeria is still one of the three remaining polio-endemic countries, together with Pakistan and Afghanistan. In addition, Nigeria has the world’s largest burden of HIV-positive newborns, with more than 50,000 children born with positive status each year.”
The APC spokesperson said Nigeria’s education system should prepare the children for the responsibilities of citizenship and prepare the youths to contribute to the development of the country.
He stated that unfortunately the current system was failing to equip Nigeria’s children with the knowledge and skills they needed to thrive in today’s rapidly changing society and economy.
According to him,the current situation of education in Nigeria depicts large numbers of children, that is 10.5 million, remain out of school.
He added that children from poorer households, rural areas and females were more likely not to be in school.
According to him, primary school attendance is 44 per cent in the northeast compared to 81 per cent in the southeast.
Even when children are in school, a large proportion are not learning.
According to him nearly half of all children who have completed primary school cannot read a complete sentence.
Mohammed also said that a large proportion of Nigerian population live very close to the poverty line and are highly vulnerable to small variations of income.
He stated that since 2003, Nigeria had recorded strong economic growth, with real Gross Domestic Product growth averaging seven per cent.
He added that however, in the same period, poverty rate had only declined slightly from about 48.4 per cent in 2003 to 46 per cent in 2010.

APC Set For Frank Talks As Buhari, Saraki, Dogara, Others Meet Today
The All Progressives Congress (APC) vowed yesterday to emerge strong from its first National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting after its post-election crisis.
The crisis, which has split the party’s leaders, erupted after the June 9 election of principal officers at the National Assembly.
Senate President Bukola Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara emerged against the party’s wish.
The party endorsed Senator Ahmed Lawan for Senate and Femi Gbajabiamila for Speaker.
“We are set for the meeting which will address some issues. We are expecting the President, our governors and leaders in the National Assembly. The NEC will properly constitute the Board of Trustees (BOT) of APC because we want all our organs to function effectively.
“We are in the process of reconciliation; we will definitely put our house in order and emerge stronger,” National Secretary Mai Buni said yesterday, adding:
“Politics is sometimes like that. You know our party is the first story of a successful merger of major parties in the country; we were also the first opposition party to dislodge a sitting government; and this is the first time an opposition party is having majority in the National Assembly. You should expect some teething problems but we will reconcile and reunite all.”
Buni said one of the key parts of the agenda is on “ensuring that everybody respects the party.”
There was anxiety last night that the meeting could make or break the APC in view of the “volatile nature” of the agenda.
The warring groups in the National Assembly engaged in marathon consultations and intensified the lobbying of NEC members.
Ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, however, set the tone for the meeting by pleading with APC leaders to “shift ground and move to the centre”.
He said the blame game targeted at individuals was an unnecessary diversion of energies at the expense of the urgency of the mission of the party.
Those expected at the session are President Muhammadu Buhari, all APC governors, Senate President Bukola Saraki, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, members of the National Working Committee and some principal officers. It will be the first meeting in which the Presidency will be present with Saraki and Dogara in attendance.
On the agenda are the journey so far by the Buhari administration, the crisis in the National Assembly and the way out; the constitution of the party’s Board of Trustees; and how to enhance party supremacy in managing challenges.
A source in the party said the session would be devoted to “frank talks” on the crisis in the National Assembly over the election of Saraki, Dogara and some principal officers.
The source said National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun will make a detailed presentation on the crisis in the National Assembly, the extent of intervention by the party, mediation by President Buhari and the way out of the logjam.
The source said: “We are set for a NEC session of frank talks because the crisis in the National Assembly has overshadowed our mission for the nation. We promised change and Nigerians are becoming weary with what is happening.
“Our governors and leaders are really disturbed about the trend of things. Now, we have a golden opportunity to tell ourselves the home truths and resolve the impasse. We are hopeful that we will reconcile and reunite at the end of the day.”

“As a culture we are quite use to the artistic treatment of religious, spiritual, and mythical entities from Greek ancestral lore, various world religions, and other cultural heroes, yet rarely is the fascinating world of the Orisha the topic of discussion. These images are gorgeous, shocking, and of course an artists interpretation, but hopefully they get your wheels turning in regards to the power, complexity, and richness of Yoruba spiritual symbology and life.”See more amazing photos below;

Again!! Boko Haram Kills 145 In Borno Mosques, Villages
The fighters of the dreaded Boko Haram sect laid a siege to some Borno communities between Tuesday and Wednesday night and killed 145 persons and injured several others.
Some of the deceased were killed in some mosques where the villagers had gone to pray after breaking Wednesday’s fast.
The attacks occurred in some villages in Monguno and Kukawa local government areas of the state.
The Tuesday attack was on Musarram village, located 8km away from Monguno town, in northern part of the troubled state, where 48 males where picked out by the insurgents and killed, according to a resident of the village and some fleeing residents.
In the second attack on Wednesday, the insurgents attacked Kukawa, a border town with Niger Republic and killed 97 persons, according to a fleeing resident, Abba Modu, who spoke to our correspondent in Maiduguri.
Another fleeing resident, Idi Isa, said over 48 persons were killed and 17 others injured when the insurgents attacked Musara, a village that is few kilometres to Monguno on Tuesday.
Isa, who claimed he escaped death by a whisker, said the well-armed terrorists numbering about 40 rounded up the villagers, sorted out the males and opened fire on them.
Isa said, “A total of 48 males died on the spot while 17 others escaped with serious injuries.”
Isa, who spoke on Thursday in Maiduguri, said the image of the killing was disturbing and he still felt he was still being hunted by the insurgents.
A member of the House of Representatives representing the area, Muhammed Tahir Monguno, who spoke to journalists on the telephone in Maiduguri, confirmed the sad incident.
He said, “I received the sad news yesterday (Wednesday) that Boko Haram terrorists had attacked some communities near Monguno.
