    Introduction

    Its been a very difficult task keeping pace with the various

    plans, policies and programmes being executed by the

    administration of President Goodluck Jonathan. For an

    administration that came into being a couple of years

    ago, any close observer will be amazed at the number oftangible achievements that it has attained. This is in spite

    of the instability caused by the unprecedented internal

    security challenges which not only gulped enormous

    resources but also impeded physical delivery of projects

    in some areas.

    Contained in this pocket-size book is a compilationof highlights of the feats recorded so far under the

    Transformation Agenda of President Jonathan. You

    would agree with me that it is impossible to capture

    every detail in a big book, much less in a little book.

    The purpose of this booklet is to provide important

    information, at a quick glance, to the reader. Anappreciation of the commitment of President Jonathan

    to the transformation of Nigeria starts from looking

    at the hard facts on what he has done so far. A lot of

    these achievements need to be highlighted in case they

    have escaped the attention of those who are genuinely

    interested in the countrys development.This is just the first in a series.
