Manifesto of Comrade OlufemiAjadiOguntoyinbo
Gubernatorial Candidate of NNPP in Ogun State
In our society today, from the local government down to the federal level, there is a growing distrust for people holding public office,. This is as a result of consistent failure by these elected representatives to deliver to the Nigerian people, the dividends of democracy, Ogun State, the famed Gateway state, has been a major casualty of this: successive governments have failed to harness the resources in the land, to better the conditions of the people. The evidences includegeneral inequity, infrastructure deficit, poverty andcrime. My decision to aspire for the office of Governor of the state 2023, is to reverse this bad trend. It is a well thought-out decision, motivated by the desire to deliver good governance to the people of the state. To be able to do this, I have done a comprehensive study on how to reposition the state, using its God-given resources, human and material to bring about better fortunes for the state.
Goals
Goals
To have a people oriented government which caters for the welfare of the people, and where the people will renew their trust and love for those in positions of leadership.
Highpoints of my manifesto
Ogun State largely depends on Federal allocation for sustenance. So, any time there is no or delay in the remittance of this federal allocation, the state is jittery and apprehensive. Our administration will transform the state, by introducing complete Industrial Revolution programmethrough Public Private Partnership (PPP). This will be for the purpose of establishing of medium and large scale industries. We shall achieve this by involving local investors and also inviting foreign investors to partner with the state. We will create the needed conducive environment for these investors to operate. Our administration will achieve this by providing tax holidays, land and pioneer status break, and provision of relevant infrastructures for their smooth operation in the state. We shall also focus on the "Ogun Guang Dong Free Trade Zone" where numerous manufacturing facilities were constructed by past administration in partnership with Chinese and Korean governments. This revolution will launch a conscious effort to revitalize commerce industry in Ogun state, focusing on local production and services. The state Ministry of Commerce and Industry shall be charged with identifying the various products and services needed for immediate local and international market, and the potential producers of such products shall be sought out across the globe through our programmes.
The security of life and property is an important necessity in any society, and its provision is the responsibility of government. My administration will prioritise this by re energizing the security architecture of the state, providing more tools and equipment for them to work. We shall increase the allocation/donations to the Security Trust Fund (STF) and bring in private sector security operators so that we can have complete safety in society. My success in establishing and sustaining a security outfit in the state, Eagle Security, is an attestation of my capability towards ensuring a secure Ogun State going forward. It has been identified that the issue of herdsmen and cultism are part of the challenges on the path to ensuring a safe state. We shall adopt the principle of conflict resolution and legal restrictions to find a lasting solution to this. Our Community Watch will be energised to curb crimes at community level so the people can sleep with their two eyes closed.
Special attention will be given to the deplorable state of our roads. Our administration will come up with "No Pot Hole" policy driven by special inspection by the Ministry of Works to ensure the road network in the state remains motorable at all times. Road construction in both urban and rural areas will be priotised for the economic advantage of the people. For road projects that require huge capital and additional expertise, especially in the industrial areas and border communities, we shall be collaborating with construction companies that have the expertise. Mutually beneficial tolling arrangements would be put in place to ensure recouping of resources expended in building such roads. Local governments would also be empowered to construct and maintain local community roads in their areas, to ease human and vehicular movement. This will also ease the movement of farm produce from the rural areas to the market, which will boost economic prosperity of the people.
Our administration shall give special attention to the agricultural sector, creating enabling environment for food production and processing in the state. We shall create agricultural boards which will enable the marketing of agricultural products to the society. This board will also create a conducive business environment for the farmers through provision of soft loans, seedlings, agricultural implements, farm land, tractors, food processors, fertilizers etc. We shall untilise our arid land advantage to build our agricultural products and encourage every household to go into faming as an alternative source of income and state revenue. Our administration will encourage large scale faming of cassava,cocoa, rice cotton,cornetc, and exportation of such produces. Our cotton farming will be basically to strengthen our vibrant textile and fabric industry. Through our agricultural policy, we shall make Ogun state a food secured state during our first term in office.
The local government autonomy granted over a year ago by the federal government will give the local government, which is the nearest to the people at the grassroots the opportunity to have access to funds directly and manage their affairs. Our administration will only play a monitoring role and give adequate advice on the management of the local councils.
We have carried out a survey on why the public water tap is dry.We found out the problem is both fund and management. Our administration will provide the needed funds to rebuild the damaged water pipes, and relay them for the water works to provide that essential commodity to the people. To reduce wastage,we shall setup a committee at the agency that will monitor any pipe breakage and timely repair in our communities.
The wrong disposal of waste in our major communities is something of great concern. Our administration will work on proper legislation to correct the abnormally and provide more waste disposal agencies that will evacuate the mountains of dirt in our cities. Our policy on waste management will attract foreign investors in pollution control and re-cycling of waste materials. This will provide employment and increase revenue of the state.
Our administration will give topmost priority to education, especially vocational institutions and technical colleges.Our state is known for hosting the highest number of tertiary institutions in Nigeria,with great number of professionals in different fields; we shall strengthen our education industry to re-position our state and be the best not just in the South-West but Nigeria and Africa. We shall engage the Ministry of Education on monitoring of our schools to put all stakeholders on their toes to return the lost glory of the sector. There shall be training and re-training of our teachers (especially the technical instructors)so as to produce a modern day curriculum that will produce the kind of graduates that our society needs,independent and self-dependent graduates that will provide employment for others. In addition, we shall bear the costs of Senior Secondary School Examination for the students, with scholarships made available to best students from each Local Government. Our administration shall include artisan training in our secondary school curriculum,with emphasis on agricultural training with incentives in choice areas.
Our administration will look into the deteriorating health infrastructure in our state, especially give attention to primary healthcare. In our first term in office, we shall employ more health personnel, looking into their remuneration and allowances. We shall also provide more diagnostic centres for the health institution to function properly. To achieve this, we shall bring local and foreign investors to the health sector, the idea being to introduce health tourism to Ogun State. There shall be special focus on rural community health services, especially for people in riverine areas and border communities, with the provision of speed boat ambulances and mobile clinics.
Power generation is key to development of any society.Our administration will look into other untapped areas of power generation like solar energy, Windmill, Mini Hydro dam,etc. bringing foreign investors to build this aspect of our economy. We shall develop our master plan to generate and distribute electricity as a state which will provide employment to our people.
Ogun state is very rich in Mineral resources like clay, granite, glass-sand, lead, coal, bitumen and crude oil. Our administration shall provide a conducive working environment for people in the granite supply industry for economic prosperity.This will also open window of opportunity for the state to be repositioned in foreign investment by Chinese and Korean firms who have large investment in the sector. We shall provide incentives to our local investors, transporters, unskilled laborers in the industry.
Our transportation system will be re-designed for the comfort of the people. We shall have mini-bus and city bus companies to operate interstate, and within the urban cities. The transport scheme will be subsidised for affordability by the people and to decongest our roads.
Ogun state is blessed with creative and energetic youths doing well in sports and various fields, bringing us glory. We shall explore more opportunities to develop the youths in skill acquisition, handcrafts, sport, entertainment and leadership training even outside the country. Our administration will provide economic empowerment for women and the vulnerable in rural and urban communities. In addition, we shall bring onboard a good number of young people and women to our administration for proper representation. We shall also create a game village where different athletes can train for competition within the state. Our administration shall design a state plan on annual game festival (which will engage professional sport administrators)where people from different parts of the state will compete in different games. We shall also engage our secondary schools in the annual “Principal Cup” partly sponsored by the state government.
Our administration will be transparent and accountable to the people. We shall be fair in all our policies and decisions, putting the welfare of the people first. Footnote: Therefore, I hereby move a motion to be prosecuted in the court of law, if I fail to fulfil electoral promises made to the masses
The civil service as the engine of any government administration, shall be given priority, looking into their welfare and after service life. Our administration shall make provision for the prompt payment of their salaries and allowances, regular promotion exercise and other motivational packages. We shall see to the pension scheme for effectiveness and prompt payment.
Our administration will develop the tourism industry of the state. Apart from Olumo Rock, the state has several tourist sites which we shall give facelift to attract foreign tourists. This will in turn increase the revenue of the state. We shall engage stakeholders in the movie industry to build a movie village of international standard which will be a point of reference in the country.
My Agenda
Check my 10 Points Agenda
Economic Diversification through Enterprise development.
A key component of The Olufemi Ajadi GUBERNATORIAL Initiative is Economic Diversification through enterprise development This encompasses infrastructure development or renewal, through which we will create the enabling environment for business enterprises to thrive and these include. Under focus are provision of stable electricity, motorable roads where not existing and rehabilitation of existing ones that are in poor condition. It included the provision of pipe-borne water, introduction of tax rebates in critical sectors, export incentives as well as reduction in the number of taxes payable by manufacturing companies. We will put every necessary measure in place towards the commercial exploitation of the over 32 different solid minerals scattered in its different geo-political zones of our country, coal, gypsum, tin, marble, iron ore, gold, barites, Kaolin and talc inclusive. Effective harnessing of the above will ensure an increase in our basket of income generation, away from oil, so that we no longer have to bother about oil price fluctuation in the international market. Moreso, it will generate millions of employment opportunities and add value to the economy
Revitalisation of existing refineries, building of new modular ones.
We believe that it is an anomaly for one of the biggest oil producing countries not to have efficient refineries; we will reverse the order. Not only will we revitilise some existing refineries, we will build more, especially modular refining infrastructure, to first reduce dependence on overseas refining, and eventually phase it out.. The issue of rampant fuel scarcity occasioned by the poor working conditions of the refineries will be a thing of the past under this administration. The financial resources and the political will to make these happen are already available, and we will deploy them. We are also aware that Nigeria could conveniently produce porcelain insulators, a critical input in electricity connections using locally available resources. Yearly however, billions of naira is budgeted to purchase this needed input for electrification projects. Why should we be spending millions of dollars importing insulators when a prototype for its mass production had long been submitted; awaiting only the federal approval for patenting, and funding for mass production? As you know, this is directly tied also to the availability of power in needy areas, and we are interested in exploring the options offered by, not only the manufacture of porcelain insulators at home, but also the total elimination of its importation from other countries.
Food security through agriculture revolution.
We know the importance of food security as a political movement, and can envisage how much boost our agriculture revolution programme could bring to quest to be food secure. It will boost the wellbeing of the people on the one hand, and support the nation’s economy on the other hand. We are committed to Food security through agriculture revolution as a prime aspect of our ten-point agenda. From school leavers through corpers mobilised for the one year scheme, down to other professionals, our agriculture revolution scheme has accommodation for all, to give them income value and also contribute to the economic development of the nation. It will be anchored on what we have acronymed ONCOP – which stands for- One Nigerian community, one product, helping the drive to fight hunger, eliminate youth idleness, fight crime, and lead to boost in food production.
Security
A first and fundamental duty of any responsible government is the protection of lives and property. This has been a far cry in our country for some time now, especially in the North East where many people have been killed or maimed, and many more forced to flee their homes. Elsewhere, we have issues of kidnapping, ritual killings, etc. We are resolved to contending and containing insecurity in the country using a preventive strategy that included the deployment of CCTV cameras at strategic locations nationwide. It also includes encompasses community policing. We believe that no police officer is more obligated to protecting a place than a policeman born and bred from that community, who possibly has a home, a mother, father, brother or sister from that locality. Further, we see a clear link between the spates of insecurity and such other national issues as hunger, the rule of law, agitation for selfdetermination etc. As we work to make food and employment opportunities available in the land, especially for the youths, we will look into those other contending issues which readily led to violence.
Infrastructure Development
Basic infrastructure like roads, electricity and water, will engage our attention as an administration, and the reason is simple: No real development could happen without these. Most inner roads in the country are in terrible states of disrepair, with the result that commuting on them has become a nightmare. Commercial vehicles avoid them, so do companies seeking to set up offshore factories. It is worse with electricity and water supply, as experiences show. In some neigbourhoods, it is impossible to believe that there is a government in place due to the near absence of electricity and water infrastructure there. Our infrastructure renewal programme is globally tested and will prove the possibility of opening up even the least of rural communities where the will power exists.
Education
Though primary school education is free in the country, estimates from the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) shows that about 10.5 million children are not in school. The factors are various from the impasse in the North-East to cultural steeped practices in the East and South and generalised poverty due to bad economy elsewhere in the country. Aside, the teaching morale is also low on account of poor teacher incentive as well as poor state of infrastructure across the different levels of learning. We will give education the priority attention it deserves. We will equip our schools with modern school buildings, staff quarters, laboratories, as well as increase We will equip our schools with modern school buildings, staff quarters, laboratories, as well as increase/regularise teachers’ salaries and allowances. What we have is simply a marshal plan that would be the envy of other countries especially within the region.
Special focus on ICT for Nigerian youths
The Nigerian economy itself experienced a 6.31 per cent growth in its ICT sector in 2020, and this is not a surprise given the critical nature of ICT in global scheme of things. As a result, we will give a pride of place to Information Communication Technology (ICT), given our resolve to fast-track out technological advancement. This will lead to the transformation of the ICT cluster at Ikeja for a start, and the patenting of a number of Nigerian firms far and wide. We are resolved to triggering real technological development, building on already existing pioneering work of Nigerians, as individuals and companies. The template accommodates proposed fabrication centres at Aba, Onitsha, Nnewi lJos, Owo, as well as Ilorin. Also, through our computer database, we will track the education and career progress of Nigerian youths, the idea being to ensure they are gainfully employed upon completion of their programmes.
Healthcare development
We have an integrated health care delivery system that covers the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. It is first and foremost prevention-centred. In this, we place emphasis on calibre of healthcare professionals and the facilities and infrastructure available to them for work. Our blueprint prioritises, healthy environments, eating lifestyles, and the ability of the health care facilities to respond promptly to healthcare issues. The agenda encompasses rehabilitation of primary healthcare centres nationwide, which includes their being manned 24 hours as critical first responders. We have signed the deal for foreign collaborations in this area, which however would accommodate a lot local medics and professionals.
Diaspora Relations
More than ever before, Nigeria’s diaspora relationships is due for overhaul. Aside the traditional ambassadorial posting some of who are usually overwhelmed or distracted by the daily demands of officialdom, the administration has plans to endorse and work with designate individuals who understand, love and are friends of Nigeria. They could be business associates and entrepreneurs, cultural experts or academics who see value in the Nigerian dream and are willing to support it collaborating with our government. These ambassadors do not have to be Nigerians, but are to be designated in their countries of residence.
Rule of law
The Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo administration has a big plan for the development and sustenance of the rule of law without which a democratic government would lose essence. The plan would be centred on empowerment of the judiciary through improvement in their conditions of service and the procedure for their disengagement from service. The plan has been fully developed and would be mounted upon the administration coming into power.
