Goodluck To Environment

Nigerian Election 2011, held in April, coinciding with the World Earth Day is a sure message that Nigerians have voted massively for incumbent President with a mandate to put environmental discuss in the front burner of his in-coming administration, making it impossible for the President to deny them the dividend of democracy that can be expressed through robust policies and programmes on environment where by birth and training, he has great advantage.

President Goodluck says he can take decisions others cant take because he is not propelled by agrandisement or wealth acquisition. he had better get used to this idea, because current challenges in the environmental sector will require that he takes far reaching decisions to save the environment and the many unsuspecting Nigerians from self-suicide.

More than ever before, Nigerians are daily been confronted with extreme environmental difficulties arising from years of neglect and deliberate human activities that has gradually but surely put Nigeria on the map of countries that require urgent steps to address and arrest this monumental challenge.

Climate Change and its attendant problems, environmental degradation that has resulted in such extremes as desertification, devastating floods, severe droughts, erosion, bush-burning, deforestation, menace of water-weeds(Water-Hyacinths), bad sanitation habit through improper waste management and crowded living, will require Mr. President to take a giant leap of faith and his ability to swallow the hard pill of practical demonstration of his ability to take far reaching actions towards making the environment safe for all of us.

With a Honourary Fellowship of the Nigerian Environmental Society, Fellowship of the International Association of Impact Assessment (IAIA) as well as Member of Fisheries Society of Nigeria (FISON), President Goodluck is goodluck to environment as his personal and professional career is most suitable for an informed urgent decision on the environment. It is also on record that our Elected President has served as a Preventive Officer and, Environmental Protection Officer in his early years. Mr. President holds a Master Degree in Hydro-Biology and has once served as Director with defunct OMPADEC (Oil Minerals Producing Areas Development Commission), now Niger-Delta Development Commission, (NNDC) under the Directorate of Environmental Protection and Pollution Control where he was in charge of the affairs of the environmental protection sub- Department.

We believe that his experience will become a factor if environment will receive its fair share of pragmatic government policies and proactive steps in tackling the challenges and transformation expected.

President Jonathan has scored a first in organising a free and fair election and Nigerians in their millions voted massivelly for Mr. Environment.
