Today, 5th May 2016 marks 6 years since Nigeria’s former President Umaru Musa Yar’adua passed away.

Yar’ Adua was succeeded by his then Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan who would later rule till 2015 before loosing election to frmer military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari.

Here are 7 of his achevements Jonathan never achieve and Buhari may never attain:

1. Yar’adua initiated the Niger-Delta Amnesty Programme which saw hundreds of youth, particularly those that took arms against the state going abroad for studies and professional training.

2. Yar’Adua initiated the Abuja-Kaduna rail route due for launch this month.



3. Dredging of River Niger, which was abandoned for decades.

4. Reversed some of ex-president Obasanjo’s decisions considered to be against the national interest such as the sale of three refineries.

5. He released the N10 billion Lagos State local government councils’ funds withheld by Obasanjo.

6. Yar’adua deconstructed power because he was not intoxicated by it. He did not pay lip service to the rule of law and due process he preached.

7. Under his watch, the courts regained their freedom. They handed down verdicts that cancelled political victories even though his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was the victim.
