Fellow Nigerians, it with the spirit of patriotism, dedication to nation building and commitment to well being of all and sundry we from the Intellectual Revolution Family under the aegis of Intellectual Progressive Youth Network IPYN-IRG brings you this independence broadcast.
Our dear Nation is today 59 years old since the oneus of self governmance, administration and management of our resources and lives was granted to our leaders to steer the affair of Nigeria as Independent Nation in Africa and globe.
The cross examination of Nigeria at the beginning, the Post Independence era where regional system of Government was adopted, the Nigeria of yesterday where Military Junta ruled and Nigeria of today where politicians pilots the affairs obviously shows the decadence in the spirit of patriotism of Nigerians and Nigerian leaders.
The post Indepence days witnessed selfless leaders with commitment and passion for National Development which was examplified with legacy projects they all implemented as regional heads of Northern, Western and Eastern Regions respectively even with less technology and innovation, the military era had consistent leaders with passion for service as evident in many momental project initiated, completed and executed such as NYSC, Third Mainland Bridge, International Conference Center Abuja, National Theatre Lagos, 1st Niger Bridge Asaba, Federal Secretariat Compexes Abuja, Aso Rock Villa Abuja, National Assembly Complex Abuja among others but zero freedom for the citizens including the press, our democracy today with available technology and innovation lacks compassionate, sincere and dedicated politicians / leaders who can drive the holistic development of our fatherland. Instead, political possition is now conduit pipe to which state money are embezzled, Shiphon and looted, political office is now an avenue to enrich self, friends and family instead of avenue to serve the people and the nation.
As youth group and Mass Movement for recovery of Nigeria's stolen glory, we remain optimistic that our generation shall not give but continue to agitate constructively for new Nigeria of our dream, we hereby call on Federal Government of Nigeria as a matter of urgency to consider the following Actions, all in the best interest of Development of Nigeria and her citizenry.
1. *UNICAMERA LEGISTLATIVE;* The cost of sustaining bicameral legislature in Nigeria is now a threat to development of Nigeria as a nation. A situation in which some few individuals who sleep more at the hallowed chamber earn millions monthly in a country where citizen live below 1$ is abnormal, in the face of reoccurring huge foreign debt incured yearly to fund national budget, this is an indication that the country is not financially stable hence Bicameral is not sustainable any longer, where a set of 109 acclaimed special citizens in red chamber have their budget fully implemented 100% yearly while the Nigeria Police Force Charged with Security Of Life and Properties of over 180million Nigerians have only 40% or less of her budget released for implementation due to lack of fund is a signal that our nation pioritised the service to some selected individuals over the masses. We hereby call on Federal Government of Nigeria particularly the National Asembly to Comence Legislative Proceeding to enact UNICAMERA LEGISLATIVE as against expensive Lavish bicameral legislature in place.
An assembly of failed people who had all opportunity including the resources to develop their respective state in general while holding sway as Executive Governor of The State now standing to represent a district all in the name of bringing developments is nothing but deception and shouldn't continue.
2. *Merger of All Duplicating Agencies;* Federal Government must at this point consider merger of all the related agencies, following the return of expanded Federal Executive Council with 43 Ministers including creation of one new Ministry of Humanitarian and Disaster Management, cutting cost of governance is an integral part of President Muhammed Buhari campaign in 2015 and he must not jettison it for political compensation tricks, the economic situation of the country deserve holistic review of cost of runing government and obvious bureaucratic feature in the system call for this merger, Federal Road Safety Corps FRSC and Vehicle Inspection Office VIO. Economic and Financial Crime Commission EFCC and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission ICPC. among other duplicating and overlapping agencies should be merge for more effective runing and cost saving.
3. *Reshuffle of Security Architecture* ; President Buhari must understand that Nigeria security situation is not in anyway improving in the recent, aside the rampart kidnapping for ransome, bandit attack on villages and communities never stop while insurgency operation still persist in some part of North East, to this effect a new hand is required in security architecture, the incumbent ones have sincerely tried their best and we must give a new idea a chance to assist our course therefore we call on Commander In Chief to Consider the reshuffle of security architecture for a robust and more efficient security framework to protect lives and properties of all. Kaduna Abuja Express way, Benin Ore Express way, Brini Gwari Express way, East West Road and other Federal High ways accross Nigeria where the unending kidnapping is ongoing need military formation base to combat the situation.
The government must equally be warry of her policies and programe in order not to be caught in an act of contradiction to her earlier pronouncements of ending further hardship on the masses and uplift of people from poverty, the increase in VAT to 10% and refusal to implement #30,000 minimum wage is contradictory to the Mr President declearation, we hereby implore the presidency to consider masses first in all her policy and programmes.
We are optimistic that our dear nation 59th Independent Annivary Celebration with little or nothing significant to show shall touch the conscience of our leaders and ignite their rethink on need to be more dedicated to nation building than self building as evident in all elite in power who have no Confidence in the system they Govern.
House of Reresentative must start a
Propagation of new law to ban all public office holders from patronising foreign schools just as it forbidden for all public office holder to operate foreign account. Our delapitating education system is the root of our nation woe, once fixed, may thing will come to place and such is only achievable if all hands are on deck, Only those who have Confidence in project Nigeria should be entrusted with its runing and administration.
We hereby set 26th Day of October day for Commencement of National Action/Campaign Against BiCameral LEGISLATURE in Nigeria.
We implore as well invites all well meaning Nigerians, civil society groups and NGOs to join us on this noble course. On this day whorld Press Conference shall hold in Abuja follow by Peaceful Mass Protest To National Assembly To Deliver our CALL FOR UNICAMERA LEGISLATURE TO SAFE NIGERIA FROM FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THURSDAY 31ST OCTOBER 2019 .
