See President Jonathan`s Christmas Message To Nigerians

0

Dear friends,

I want to seize this opportunity to


wish you and your loved ones a
merry Christmas and a happy
New Year in advance.

I feel the pains of Nigerians and


that is why this yuletide period I
have personally instructed that
our roads should be worked on
to enable you and your loved
ones travel safely for the holidays
knowing that this season brings
with it the highest volume of
traveler traffic of the year.

This administration also made


sure that most of our airports
received a facelift with the
terminals rehabilitated and the
runways upgraded.
Not done, we ensured that for the
first time in decades, the cross
country services (Lagos to Kano
with stops in cities along the
route) of the Nigerian Railway
Corporation (NRC) were revived
just prior to the holidays to
provide Nigerian masses with an
inexpensive alternative to road
and air transportation.
Nigerians traveled on these
coaches which took them from
Lagos to Kano beginning on
Friday the 21st of December,
2012 at a very affordable rate of
1,500 Naira, with stops at many
cities along the route.

This administration also took


steps to increase power
generation by remaining true to
the Timelines of the Roadmap to
Power Sector Reforms which has
seen history made on Friday the
21st of December 2012, when
Nigeria?s power generation hit an
all time high of just over 4,500
MW which I know is still not good
enough, but which nevertheless
is an improvement of what we
met on ground to the end that as
many Nigerians as possible can
celebrate the holidays with power
in our homes and communities.

I reaffirm to you that, God willing,


Nigeria will witness a better year
in the coming year.
Once again, on behalf of my
family and I and the government
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

I, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,


wishes every Nigerian a very
Merry Christmas and a most
prosperous and Happy New Year.
