PROTOCOLS
I
welcome you all to this occasion of the formal presentation of the
Hand-over notes of my Administration to the in-coming Administration of
the President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari.
This event
and tomorrow’s inauguration of a new administration are truly historic
as it is the first time in the history of our nation that we are
witnessing the democratic and orderly transfer of power at the Federal
level from one political party to another.
The Hand-over
notes which we now present, contain the governance philosophy,
strategies, policies, programmes and activities of my Administration for
the period – 2011-2015. Also to be found in the notes are the
objectives, targets and implementation strategies, achievements and
challenges of our key policies, schemes, initiatives as well as the
status of commitments and liabilities of the various MDAs.
As
we hand over the affairs of the nation, it is appropriate to recall
that at inception, in May 2011, we committed ourselves to consolidating
national unity through democratization and good governance. Our
assessment then, and our firm belief ever since, is that the unity of
Nigeria, the security, well-being, greater freedoms and opportunities
for all citizens must remain the primary objectives of government.
The
Agenda for National Transformation which we did our best to implement
consisted of clear and consistent governance strategies, policies,
plans, programmes and projects, in all facets of our national life.
Emphasis was placed on human and state security, democratization, sound
economic management, as well as structural and institutional reforms.
