A committee, set up by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has presented comprehensive reports on five key sectors to serve as a guide to President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
Areas covered by the report are economy, security, power, education and infrastructure.
Vice Chairman of the committee, and a former Minister of Finance, Dr. Idika Kalu, presented volumes of the report to Buhari during a closed-door meeting at the Buhari Support Organisation office, in Abuja, on Thursday.
Chairman of the Governing Board, Centre for Human Security of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Prof. Akin Mabogunje, who spoke to journalists after the meeting, said the committee had been working on a number of critical issues for the development of the country.
According to him, a delegation of the committee members, involved in the preparation of the policy documents, was sent to present the reports to the President-elect.
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 will be able to work on.”
He further explained that the president-elect was very happy that they had been thinking about how to help him hit the ground running.
Director of Media and Publicity of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Mallam Garba Shehu, confirmed that Obasanjo 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 commissioned four months ago “so that the outcome will be made available to the incoming administration after the elections.”
He also revealed that Dr. Christopher Kolade, who heads the power committee, gave various stages of the proposed power sector development plan to include short term, medium term and long term solutions.
Under the short term solution, the plan seeks to raise the country's power generation to 10,000 MW within a very short period of time.
