Former President Goodluck Jonathan

party, our accomplishments up to 2015

maintained price stability, and drove the
economy to become the largest in Africa.
“We also made Nigeria to be the number
one foreign direct investment destination
in the continent.

checked corrupt practices in the

creative thinking, brains in the executive

harnessed to get to where we are.
