Forget National Confab – Nyako Urges Jonathan

Governor
Murtala Nyako
of Adamawa State, yesterday, asked President
Goodluck Jonathan to perish the thought of
national conference and pay more attention to
giving Nigerians good governance.
Nyako, who spoke to Vanguard in an interview, said
the planned confab amounted to waste of time and
scare resources, which could have been used to
provide social amenities.
According to the governor, Nigerians need concrete
development projects that could enhance their life
expectancy and not talk shops that add no real
value to life.
The governor pointed out that the country also
needed serious development plans backed by an
implementable time frame and the political will to
move the nation forward.
Nyako, who is the second governor to oppose the
impending confab, said his Ebonyi State
counterpart, Chief Martins Elechi, who was the first
to kick against the conference, was absolutely right
and should be commen-ded for his forthrightness.
Nyako said:"Governor Elechi is absolutely right.
What we need now is a development programme
and not national conference or dialogue.
"We need critical infrastructure, we need ports and
railway system, functional and compulsory
education for Nigerians and not talk shops that
cannot take us to anywhere.
"We need primary schools that can be described as
the best in the world. We do not need too much
grammar about develo-ping Nigeria, but concrete
efforts and the political will by the government to
translate talks into reality for the overall benefit of
Nigerians."
