In this regards, our initiatives shall translate to engaging the numerous for national development through productivity optimization.

10: It has become glaring that Nigerians desire and demand a new kind of leadership style based on knowledge economy which will synchronize global realities through innovation, job creation and wealth generation.

This new kind of leadership will cultivate the creative ingenuity and productive energies of young Nigerians.

11: As a COREN certified Metallurgical and Materials Engineer, I am aware of the inherent and urgent expectations to get Nigeria out of the woods. I solemnly declare that I am prepared for the task ahead.

The extent of my preparedness is manifest in our design of a functional economic blueprint “THE TRAFG ROADMAP VISION 2023-2053” whose implementation will enable me hit the ground running in delivering the much expected dividends of democracy that will lead to the emergence of a New Nigeria 2023-2053 on the platform of effective leadership training, capacity building and character development.

12: fellow Nigerians, we shall learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow (Isaiah 1:17). If we be willing and obedient, we shall eat the good of the land (Isaiah 1:19).

My commitment to these timeless principles of Equity, Fairness, Fair Play, Parity, Justice and Judgment shall be the propelling factors in my service to God and humanity.

Contained in our expansive and well articulated national developmental plan, is the TRAFG ROADMAP VISION 2023-2053 MANIFESTO.

14: In implementing the mandate of my office as the National Organizing Secretary of the Academic Staff Union of Research Institutions(ASURI) in Nigeria 2011-2022; we have provided national solution to the seemingly intractable housing deficit development, delivery and payment modes, that will lead to the development and delivery of qualitative and affordable houses across the 774 LGAs in Nigeria for civil servants and non-civil servants alike 2022-2047 on mortgage repayments basis over 25 years tenor.

By so doing, we shall be able to harmonize those burning issues in such a way that we can truly begin to rebuilding a strong, virile and vibrant socio-economic andr political system in Nigeria 2023-2053 as it affects the various agitations across the geo-political zones, decaying and dilapidating national infrastructures, failing educational standards and abysmally poor healthcare delivery system in Nigeria, etc.

18: There is no gain saying that Nigeria has been dubbed the butt of nations categorizing it as the poverty capital of the world. 

I wish to state that Nigeria occupying this position of the poverty capital of the world is unacceptable to me as an aspiring Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 2023.

This is because of the landmark achievements we have made working with the National Leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Research Institutions ASURI in the last 12 years (2011-2022) is to ensure that Nigeria works again and takes its pride of place in the community of developed nations.
