Silver Lining in the Power Tunnel
Improved power supply will be one of the highlights of President Goodluck Jonathan’s achievements in 2013 In his New Year message on January 1, President Goodluck Jonathan reaffirmed his resolve to make life better for the people. He identified power as one of the sectors which government would leverage on in the implementation of the Transformation Agenda. According to him, “We have in the last year achieved a lot in terms of the positive transformation of vital sectors of our national life such as public infrastructure, power supply, oil and gas, transportation, education, health and agricultural…
The agricultural programme of the Goodluck Jonathan administration holds promise for food security if pursued appropriately Despite the fact that it contributes 42.62 per cent to Nigeria’s gross domestic product, GDP, and provides employment for about 70 per cent of the country’s 167 million people, agriculture is yet to be fully developed so as to drive growth in the economy, trigger sustainable development and enhance the standard of living of the people.

Drawbacks of Online Job Application
If tens of thousands apply for a job, is it possible that not even one of them would make the mark? Tired of his state of unemployment, Adeniran Ayodele sought the shortcut to getting a job by sending a bulk message to different human resources, HR, firms and companies, attaching his curriculum vitae, CV, along with his application. As usual, he did not get a reply to any of the 24 emails except one. The sender was kind enough to reply to him thus: “Hello Ayodele, I hope this is not meant to be an application because…

The Budget and Its Implications
The Presidency and the National Assembly cut mutually beneficial deals to ease the passage of the 2013 budget The Presidency and the National Assembly, NASS, understand each other very well when it comes to political trade-offs. Each party appears to know what the other wants and how much pressure it would take to get concessions. This scenario played out in the quick passage of the 2013 budget on December 20, 2012. President Goodluck Jonathan had presented the budget to a joint session of the NASS on October 10, 2012. The verbal attacks and counter-attacks since then gave…

Boom Time for the Economy?
With the projected economic growth rate of 6.5 per cent for 2013, analysts say the prospect for the country’s economy is bright. However, developments in some key sectors and uncertainty surrounding the global economy could impede the growth “Let me assure all of you and indeed all Nigerians that 2013 will be better for us than 2012 in all aspects of the nation’s history. The New Year shall be better for us in terms of job creation, wealth creation and improved security among others.” These were the assurances of President Goodluck Jonathan to Nigerians recently after he…
The National Assembly, NASS, has been basking in a rare euphoria of success since December 20, last year when it passed the N4.98 trillion 2013 Appropriation Bill. Members of both chambers have since been thumping their chests and crediting themselves for the early passage. Indeed, it is the first time since 1999 that the budget would be presented and passed in the same year. This time around, members of the House of Representatives, who had issues with the Executive over the partial implementation of the 2012 budget, passed the budget despite threats. It is a good thing…
Besides serving as sanctuaries for a large army of the orphaned, the abandoned and other street children, orphanages offer services that make up for the parental love, care and guidance Despite their tender age, they are neglected by society. In their midst are the abandoned, the discarded, and the hopeless. For no fault of theirs, the world around them is devoid of every trace of filial love, and it also mostly robs them of all the appurtenances of good living, which their more privileged counterparts often take for granted. Although the future is supposed to belong to…
