President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has affirmed that he is yet to learn any useful thing from the outgoing President, Goodluck Jonathan’s government.
Buhari stated this on Thursday when a committee from the Centre for Human Security of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, presented a five-point policy document to him at the Buhari Support Organisation office in Abuja.
Speaking earlier, the All Progressives Congress, accused the Federal Government of not cooperating with the transition committee set up by the President-elect.
Garba Shehu, the Director of Media and Publicity of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation, said, “Buhari regretted that the outgoing government that is supposed to give him tips on how to take off has done nothing so far”.
According to him, the President-elect “thanked the Obasanjo initiative for the gesture, assuring the committee that his incoming administration will be needing advice as time goes on.”
Areas covered by the committee in the document include the economy, security, power, education and infrastructure.
He said that Obasanjo had set up a think tank to carry out a study on the challenges facing the country in the five key areas.
The study, he added, was started four months ago “so that the outcome will be made available to the incoming administration after the election”.
He also revealed that Nigeria’s former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Dr. Christopher Kolade, who headed the power committee, gave various stages of the proposed power sector development plan to include short-term, medium-term, long-term solutions.
The vice-chairman of the committee, who is a former Minister of Finance, Kalu Idika Kalu, said, “We have looked at education, security, economy, power and Infrastructure. Those are the areas we have made recommendations and which we hope the new administration would be able to work on”.
