March 28 presidential election.
This was contained in a piece, titled, "Twelve reasons to support
Jonathan," published in the current edition of the in-house magazine
of the State House, Abuja, called Villascope, according to Punch.
It listed some of the reasons to include the present administration
strides in road construction, railway rehabilitation, remodeling of
airports, transformed agriculture sector and increased access to
education.
Others are increased access to housing, improved power supply,
improved water supply, better health
facilities, reformed security infrastructures, economic transformation
and increased Nigerians' participation in downstream oil sector.
The Presidency said Jonathan met 4,500km of motorable roads but
constructed/rehabilitated 25,000km of roads.
This, it said, had drastically reduced travel time nationwide.
It added that about five million Nigerians now travel by train after
the present administration rehabilitated the nation's railway.
On education, it said, "Jonathan built 125 Almajiri schools, 14
universities and special schools for girls in 27 states.
"He gave 101 scholarships to first-class graduates to pursue
postgraduate courses in the best 25 universities in the world.
"He sponsored 7,000 lecturers of federal and state universities and
polytechnics for postgraduate studies to improve quality teaching."
The Presidency further said that 61,000 housing units had been built
in the six geo-political zones of the country.
