Photos: Atiku Abubakar meets with young people in Lagos for some kinda Manifesto


Former VP and aspiring presidential candidate of the APC, Atiku Abubakar had an interactive session with some youths in Lagos on Saturday Sept. 20th. During the meeting, Atiku said if elected, 50% of his cabinet will be made of qualified young people. See pics from the event after the cut...



 
Asked if any of his children study here in Nigeria, Atiku said 
"My daughters went to ABU(Ahmadu Bello University Zaria), one in Medicine, one in Pharmacy. The strikes did drive some of my kids abroad. They needed to finish on time. This is unfortunate and we need to fix it. Student fees do not cover AUN's recurrent expenditures. I cover that for now"
Asked if he will be defecting to any other party after his defection from PDP to APC, Atiku says the APC is "my last bus stop".

On how to improve executive accountability, Atiku advised that young people should elect better House of Assembly and Representative members. 

Dispelling rumors of being declared wanted in America. Atiku said he has an American visa which was issued last year but that he has no reason to visit the United states for now as his family doesn't live there anymore.

On how he would be improving the economy if elected President, Atiku said he would be focusing on 
"Agriculture and Human resource base. Our economy does not need to be resource based. Our resources should be a means to an end. Our people must be willing to take risks. My first real business in transportation (hire purchase). I actually lost my transport business but I tried again. I kept on. Young entrepreneurs need access to low interest funding and business information".

Toss one in your bag for a quick mid-morning snack, add orange wedges to a grilled chicken salad or find other ways to add more oranges to your diet. Sponsored Link Lower Cholesterol Oranges are full of soluble fiber, which is especially beneficial for lowering cholesterol levels. Soluble fiber attracts water in your gut, forming a slow-moving gel. As this gel substance travels through your intestinal tract, it picks up some of the excess cholesterol compounds and pushes them out through fecal waste. Your cholesterol levels will go down over time, decreasing your risk of suffering from heart disease. You need 14 gr...

Take charge of your wallet in 5 steps

Sharon Epperson CNBC If you're carrying around a tattered old wallet that you can barely close because it is filled with crumpled receipts, credit cards, rewards cards, spare keys, lip gloss, and whatever else you can fit in it , some financial advisers say you shouldn't be surprised that you are having some trouble getting a handle on your finances. "You should think about your wallet like you think about making a first impression with potential employer, client, or date.
