I will eliminate corruption in the oil sectors before 4years from now... .GOODLUCK JONATHAN

The pesident made a pledge to ensure corruption is eliminated in the
nation's oil sector in the next four years if he is voted in again
during Saturday's Presidential election.
Goodluck made the pledge in Lagos Sunday evening at a youth event,
tagged, "An unimaginable feat in sports". The occasion was meant to
showcase his administration's achievements in the sports sector.
The occasion which ended in the early hours of Monday attracted sports
men and women, young professionals as well as beneficiaries of the
Federal Government's scholarship schemes, among others.
While answering questions from one of the participants during an
interactive session at the event, the President promised to end the
stigmatisation of Nigerians in the international community because of
corruption.
Goodluck said his administration had succeeded in using technology to
tackle corruption in many areas, such as fertilizer distribution,
procurement and salary payment, among others, and will do the same in
the oil industry.
He said, "We are going into the 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."
Jonathan regretted that the issue of corruption is being
over-celebrated in a manner that makes it looks as if the whole of the
country is corrupt.
The president urged all Nigerians to work together to ensure that the
stigmatisation of Nigerians is cleared.
The President voewed to work with the young people because of his
conviction that parents who do not encourage young ones are preparing
their families for extinction.
Specifically, he promised that he would give more youths under the age
of 40 years more opportunities to serve as ministers and heads of
government parastatals.
He said, "Before he left to go and participate in election as deputy
governorship candidate in Jigawa State, Nurudeen (former Minister of
State, Foreign Affairs) was a minister and he is below 40.
"Last week, we swore in the youngest female minister. She is also
about 40 years old.
"Apart from cabinet positions for under 40s, we are also appointing
young people as heads of parastatals.
"We want to continue to encourage those in youth-dominated sectors,
such as business, sports and entertainment industries too.
"I can assure you that we shall not go below what are currently doing.
I know you want more, vote for us and you will get it."
Answering a question on poverty rate in the country, Jonathan put it
at 33.1 percent, as against the over 60 percent that he said some
people were brandishing.
He however added that the issue is not about the percentage but about
the desire of his government to impact more on the lives of the
people.
President goodluck also viewed the health sector, Jonathan
highlighted the feats being achieved by some tertiary health
institutions in the country in the areas of kidney transplant and
heart surgeries.
The president highlighted the successes recorded in the fight against
the Ebola Virus Disease, guinea worm as well as polio.
The president promised to put more effort in the sector for the
sector, if re-elected.
Jonathan also said he is still sicking to his promise to institute
special funds to assist sports men and women, if re-elected.
Overall, he said better days were ahead for the country under his leadership.
