Hi everyone😊😊
If I were made the president of my country in a day, what are the things I would do. It's really a big dream to achieve, I haven't thought of becoming a president before, cause in Nigeria I don't think a woman would be allowed to become the President of Nigeria. Actually a woman can be a president but the majority will go for the men.
TO ERADICATE POVERTY
The Nigerian government imposes indirect taxes on a lot of goods used by the poor, on the other hand Nigeria government is also known giving huge tax to the rich.
Poverty in Nigeria is widespread to date around 40% of Nigerian are still living in poverty, the economy is depend on oil, I think Nigerians economy has other things to engage on than just oil.

And also improving the country's economic productivity and job opportunities for the citizens of the country that is one way I can fight poverty. It will also mean investing in the capital potential of the women and young people, increasing financial access and opportunities these groups in rural communities and advancing technological innovation.
These are ways I'll apply in order to fight poverty in the nation.
I will encourage the average Nigerian man to engage into farming to enable us acquire some home made product within the country.
I know poverty can't be fully eradicated but I'll try my best to put certain things in place. It's the economy of a nation that determine it's level of poverty.
TO STRENGTHEN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
I know acquiring quality education is supposed to help in fighting poverty, diseases and ignorance. How to acquire this knowledge has become difficult for so many poor people who are in need of this knowledge.
Before sending a child to school parents has to calculate how much they'll have to spend in monetary terms. It is said education is the bedrock of development in a nation, poor funding from the government leading to lack of educational infrastructural, lack of quality teachers. I know educational system in Nigeria is suffering from decades of underfunding, I'll provide a workable plan towards the funding of schools in Nigeria.

I'll provide free education, I'll take it upon myself as a responsibility of enrollment fees for secondary school examination and the primary six examination.
I know not everyone would like to go to higher institution so after the primary and secondary education I'll make sure they learn a skill that would be able to sustain them and make a living after the skill is being acquired.
Coming to the higher institutional structure, the drama between Asuu and federal government has to stopped cause it doesn't make any sense to me. I'll provide quality and affordable education for every citizen in Nigeria.
CONTINUOUS PAYMENT OF PENSIONERS STIPEND
I see how civil servants are being treated even federal government promised to increase their salaries, what they would rather do is to decrease their salary, and still increase the tax rate on it. It's not fair what I will do is to increase civil servants salary and decrease the tax rate.

In Nigeria most pensioners are not getting paid, these pensioners are not working any longer so I don't know how they're supposed feed themselves without money coming in, I wonder how they are supposed to survive.
Pensioners in Nigeria are suffering most of these persons don't have anything that gives them money while some are sick, I feel paying these pensioners their stipend every month I think it will grow them emotionally and physically.

I think as a president this is one area I'll focus more on cause that's the reason why most government workers lie about their age while working, while some even extend their years of service the reason is they are scared of retirement cause the government doesn't pay them their retirement benefit entitled to them.
Then one last thing I'll do is to travel out of the country and take some nap then wake up to my real life.
Thank you for reading...
