Grading Our New President

After more than six months in office the time has come for me to assess the performance of the new administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. This being his second coming as the leaders of the nation; expectation were sky high from the moment he assumed office on 29 May 2015. Many have committed their loyal support, many their loyal opposition. As for me, I pledge my support to Nigeria and all those toiling to uplift her.

The individual areas making up the overall grade are as follows:

National Security               weight 30%         score    28% of 30%

Corruption                               "     20%             "       16% of 20%

The Economy                          "     20%             "        5%  of 20%

Power                                      "     10%              "       8%  of 10%       

Healthcare                               "     10%              "       3%  of 10% 

Education                                "       5%              "       2%  of   5%   

International Relations            "       5%              "       5%  of   5%

The overall score thus far 67%. 

This may seem like a poor grade. Yet compared with the Johnathan administration's 23%, it is a massive improvement. Under Johnathan the National Security score was 0% and the Corruption score was also 0%.

There will be those who disagree with my assessment. Feel free to comment below. Anyone who wishes failure on President Buhari doesn't know what they're hoping for. Such would only spell pain and immeasurable hardship for all Nigerians. As the new administration starts to settle in, and the newly appointed ministers begin to conduct the people's business in earnest, I anticipate that "Baba Go Slow's" grade will improve greatly. Rome wasn't built in a day abi?
