GET NIGERIA WORKING AGAIN: ATIKU'S CHATHAM HOUSE PARLEY

On April 25, 2018, Ex Vice President Atiku Abubakar was at the Chatam House, London, the United Kingdom, where he spoke at a forum, tagged “Get Nigeria Working Again”. He used the occasion to outline his plans to his audience on how he passionately desires to bring fortunes to Nigeria, where he was Vice President for two-terms of eight years under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Atiku Abubakar: Restructuring Nigeria’s economy and polity is a necessity, not an option. It will foster a spirit of freedom in a diverse nation and nurture strong and democratic government.

We have to ensure the minimum amount of resources are allocated & invested in education & health. We will impose penalties for states that don’t comply. 1.6m Nigerians sit university entrance exams every year, but we only 600,000 places are available. $1bn spent on paying fees in Ghana schools by Nigerians..

Also in attendance: L-r: “Common Sense Senator" Ben Murray-Bruce, Reno Omokri, ex President Jonathan’s spokesman, and Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe.

Atiku Abubakar: If we want Nigeria to succeed, we must break with the misguided notion that the Federal Government, or the President, knows best, and that no one else can be trusted.

Atiku Abubakar:  We need a Nigeria that challenges our leadership to create wealth in every layer of government and make it work for our citizens. Propaganda is a poor substitute for a proper agenda.

Atiku Abubakar: I am pleased to lead a business round table at the Institute of Directors in London to share my vision for the future economic development of Nigeria with a host of international business and financial leaders.
