The National Orientation
Agency (NOA), says it has embarked on a nationwide sensitisation of Nigerians on the mid-term performance report of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration between 2011 and 2013.
The Director-General of the agency, Mr Mike Omeri, said at a one-day stakeholders’ meeting on the mid-term report on Wednesday in Calabar that the exercise was in line with the democratic norms.
He said that the components of the report was “Mr President’s way of taking government closer to the people so that they too can key in and be part of it.’’
“This is a way of ensuring that people are taking along in what is happening toward changing the fortunes of our country. “It is said that an informed citizen is key to national development,’’ the NOA chief said.
He said that the president’s vision in the transformation agenda was to ensure that the key components of the democratic structure being neglected were put into consideration.
The director-general said that the agency’s offices nationwide would take the messages of the mid-term report to all the 774 local government areas.
A former commissioner in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mr Ekpo Okon, scommended the Federal Government for the success of amnesty programmes in the region.
Okon said, “ lots of youths have been sent on various training programmes both at home and abroad. “The result of all these is the peace now reigning in the region which has increased oil production. “Today, we are better off because we now have more foreign investment in the region thereby increasing the level of employment.”
Also, Dr Lawrence Ita, a traditional ruler from Calabar South, urged the Federal Government to do more in the areas of education and health.
