HammedSodiqq: The success of any administrations lies in the ability of such Govt to adequately publish their mission, vision, and efforts in meeting the needs of the people. All objective analysts including oppositions too know that GEJ has tried, his short spell in office notwithstanding . So many projects have been initiated, some completed, some ongoing, while policies with humane character are being continually formulated. Famously, the Issue of Improved Power supply, FOI Act, Electoral reform, New Universities, alimajiri schools, exposure of Corrupt officials and so on standout. But how well has Govt information Agencies published Gej's efforts. I think this will serve as a wake up call to Govt media units.
Secondly, on National Good Governance tour, this is novel. It means dismantling Govt at the centre and bringing it to the people. During this tour, Govt will know the completion stages Federal projects are at, it will know Contractors that are working and those that are not. Govt will meet one on one with the rural and urban communities, know their needs and act appropriately. GEJ deserves commendation again on this. Recall that recently the FED exco signed the performance evaluation Pactand the result is already manifesting. Goodluck to Goodluck.

Demdem: Good governance tour foolishness of the highest order. Another avenue to chop oil money. The people aren't blind to see and appreciate work done.
Did the people waited for a tour to tell them that light has marginally improved?
This can only come from a retardeenic govt.

Murphy T:
demdem itz not all abt chopping oil money, i believe it will help the govt ascertain the level of work done by contractors across the country, this will kip them (contractors) on their toes and make them deliver...overtime pple complain that notin has bin done, i no go lie, i de complain well well, so if they feel going round to monitor and bring to the public wot they hav achieve, itz ok..me i m waiting to no hw a local govt chairman has affected the lives of his pple.

Demdem:

Each ministry do have project monitoring groups that are paid to ensure compliance and make sure contracts awarded are done to specification. Are u insinuating that these ones are being paid for doing nothing.
Am also aware we have special duties minister or of some sort (not sure), what does this one do?

What about the special adviser to the president on project implementation? What does he do?

If these ones are to do their work properly as expected of them, then we won't need a tour. I expect the president to sack these ones first before they proceed with the useless tour.

Murphy T:
now u r talkin, all dis guys r part of the tour, infact it is thier idea, the ministry of information is just acting like a medium as usual to propagate the developments, the SA project implementatn tells the president, while min of info tells nigerians

Demdem:

When one is employed for a job, u do it and get paid. The tour is a waste of time and resources. Do u know these publicized tour will cost us more? No matter how u look at it, its not neccesary. Instead peeps should be encouraged to do what they are employed to do.

Murphy T:

every ministry has budget allocation, if min of info decides to use some of thiers in carryin out a tour to tell Nigerians wot d govt has done or is doing and seek thier opinion, i think itz not bad..no extra money is allocated for the tour.
