corrupt practices, especially in the oil and gas
sector, but President Goodluck Jonathan wants
Nigerians to give him another chance to clean
up the corruption-ridden sector.
Speaking in Lagos, Sunday evening, at a youth
event titled “An unimaginable feat in sports”
designed to highlight his administration’s
achievements in the sports sector, Jonathan
promised to entrench greater transparency and
eradicate corruption in the nation’s oil sector if
re-elected.
“We are going into oil sector. People talk about
the oil industry because that is an industry
with a lot of people and a lot of money is
involved. But I promise you that in the next
four years, we will sanitise the oil sector” he
said.
He, however, emphasised that the issue of
corruption was being exaggerated leading to the
creation of an impression that the whole
country was corrupt.
Jonathan promised to work with the young
people because of his conviction that parents
who do not encourage young ones are
preparing their families for extinction. He
vowed to give more youths under the age of 40
more opportunities to serve as ministers and
heads of government parastatals if re-elected.
