Dlaco ,Dapo lam Adesina liberation 2011 for house of representative ,son to the earsthwile governor of oyo state Alhaji lam adesina is contesting for the ibadan north east and south east fedaral constituency under the umbrella of action party AC.


This are his agenda as follows


A.YOUTH Empowerment/Employment Bill
The rate at which we allow our idle youths to indulge in crime is alarming.We cannot but seriously look into this, as there is always no plan for a Nigerian graduate.It is very sad to note that in a country like ours,our youths are fast becoming the ills of the society due to neglect by the government.
I will seek to pass this bill on mass employment drive,I will include in the bill to make sure foreign companies in Nigeria tell us the number of Nigerians in their workforce and also tell us the quota they will give henceforth to balance the equation or we stop them from milking us dry.

B. Freedom of Information Bill (FOI)
One of the major problems we have in Nigeria is the issue of corrupt leaders, and by giving journalists and people the power to probe public office holders we will do ourselves a lot of good.
It will open up governance and scare away people with no agenda and give space for people who have a lot to offer.It will also make the people the watchdog of the people we elect henceforth.I therefore will support the passage of the FOI bill.
This bill must include:
1. Full freedom of speech and movement.
2. Full access to information on public office holders or prospective public office holders.i.e public and private life.

C.Nigeria Police Force Repositioning Bill
We can never curb corruption if we don’t take good care of the police who are supposed to be the enforcer of laws made.We need to seriously look into this if we are truly sincere of making Nigeria great again.
No where in the world is their police force neglected as we do in Nigeria.Without a vibrant and effective Police force we cannot get out of this mess.
This bill includes:
1. Better Housing scheme
2. Increase in salary package and prompt payment. (If a person working in the bank can collect thousands of Naira, why not a police officer?)
3. Regular training of the police and if possible they should be sent abroad for courses.
4. Life insurance scheme for them all. It is most important.Let them know the job they are doing is worth it and that their families would not suffer if they loose their lives working for their fatherland.
5. They should be well armed so as to be able to face the challenges of our society.
6. Promotion as at when due
7. Recognition of gallantry on battle front with incentives or promotion.

D. EFCC Re- Arrangement
I suggest the EFCC be brought under a better and new police force as suggested above so that we will not double our effort. The police force can have an anti fraud section called EFCC and it should be extended to local governments and States and not only left at the federal level.
This will only make it a toothless bulldog.

E. Educational System Overhaul:
Obviously,we all know the power and effect of an educated mind.Nigeria of present can be said not to give qualitative education anymore but just compulsory education.
A nation that sees the need to build its younger generation would realize that it starts from giving sound and qualitative education.Our past real leaders like Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikwe, Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello were given sound education and that is why they were able to deliver.
We need a resuscitation and revaluation of our educational system to build and give moral values to our younger generation.
Under this bill we have
1. Massive schools/classrooms renovation and construction of new ones.
2. Better packages for the teachers and Lecturers.
3. Free education to the secondary school level.
4. Raising the level of public schools to meet or almost meet the level of private schools but must be free to secondary level to create competition and reduction in the fees of private schools.
5. Housing and car loans for teachers.
6. Re-introduction of scholarships to brilliant students.

F. Electoral System Reform
Most important of all the bills.Without an almost crystal clear electoral system in Nigeria where we can produce credible leaders who are the wishes of the people all what I have highlighted above or would below are just waste of time and effort.
We need to cleanse the system totally.The chairman of INEC must henceforth not be chosen by the president.The state must not have powers over INEC and INEC must not be funded by the government.It must be 100% independent.
I also suggest the switching of our system of governance from presidential to Parliamentary which is cheaper and more effective.With this we will reduce the powers of the president drastically so that we stop having Presidents who have absolute powers as we know that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
A thorough Reform of the Electoral System is needed. I will support the passage of the Justice Mohammed Uwais Report on Electoral Reform.

G. Resource Control
The issue of resource control has caused so much havoc in recent times for our nation.I support a partial control of resources but not until we have been able to develop the natural resources available to each state of the federation so that they can be independent also i.e Charcoal for Enugu e.t.c.
The world is turning away from oil and I hope we dont get into trouble with our dependence on oil. We need to move fast on this and leave the era of dependence on oil. We need to develop back our Agriculture skills, we have palm oil in the east, there is limestone, precious stone etc.I heard about the discovery of Gold sometimes ago but I havent been able to confirm. Doing this, we would have developed a vibrant and strong economy that would not rely on what America buys from us to decide our budget.
The money made from oil was used to develop tourism in Dubai and they have stopped depending on oil alone as tourism is their major source now. Nigeria must move fast.
H. National Youth Service Corps
This is also known as NYSC. I am in full support of the scraping if we cannot re-arrange and stop the idea of our young generation being killed all in the name of religious crisis or riots.
I think it is senseless to make our leaders of tomorrow face this hazard. We seriously look into it or we scrap it.
Does it even guarantee a job after the one year service?
Does it meet up with the intention of serving one’s father’s land?
Does it build the traits we intend it for?
Does it work on our orientation?
We need to look into all these questions.

I. National Identification/ Orientation
We must come to realize that sooner or later we need a form of identification. Not the kind of identification we just had in Nigeria but a more serious and sincere one.
If we clamour for a better Nigeria where our citizens cannot be identified in this new world order where things are going from bad to worst.
I think we must take this serious. We must realize the need to be selfless about issues like this and not see it as an avenue to become rich. This is an issue that has been making me think real deep because it is more serious than we see it.
We firstly must work on re-orientating ourselves, forget the past and make ourselves see the reason why Nigeria needs all of us to come together to build it.Re- orientation and after, a thorough and sincere mode of identification which would be monitored by the judiciary and the new police force might work. Not the one by the politicians, who would want to favour their supporters.

J. Local Government Independency
We all know that local governments in Nigeria eat from the crumbs that falls from the table of the State Governments. It is very wrong. The Local governments are the most close to the people and must be independent and also well funded so that the dividends of democracy can get to the man/woman at the grassroot.
We must make all these our tiers of government less attractive so that greedy people will be less attracted. A local government Chairman who is not a member of the ruling party in a State would be sure to get very little allocation at the end of the month that can even hardly pay the salaries of his/her workers.
Or even a chairman who is not in the good books of the State executive. It is very disheartening. This is not selfless service to the people. It must be corrected

K. Infrastructural Overhauling
We must realize that some of our infrastructures must be privatized but must follow due process. Not the kind of privatization done recently where the rich gets all.
A privatization that will concede some percentages of these things to private companies to manage. This will provide more jobs for the people, give more revenue income to the government and also revive most of our dead structures. I suggest most of our roads to be privatized.
With this, we can have good and accessible roads even if it means paying toll fees to keep the companies going and as maintenance fees. It is worth it than all the death traps we have that we call roads.

L. Youths Participation in politics
Franklin D. Roosevelt said and I quote "we cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future".
While John Fitzgerald Kennedy said and I quote "The Jewish people, ever since David slew Goliath,have never considered youth as a barrier to leadership".
” Nigerian youths now is the time to join the system so as to be fully involved in decision making and also to be involved in the choosing henceforth of who becomes our leaders.
It is very important, As this is our future and we must all strive to make sure we secure a better tomorrow for ourselves. We cannot continue overlooking; we must realize that this is the time to start taking charge.
We must be conscious of who rules us hence and we must rise also to put ourselves forward for the service of our fatherland.
We can do it.
M. Sovereign National Conference
This is the solution to Nigeria’s multifarious problems. We must come to terms with the fact that we need to convene this Conference where all and sundry can sit and look into the many problems facing this nation and seek to proffer solutions to them all.
We need to seriously look into the issue of the 1999 Constitution which we operate, Niger Delta, Resource control, System of Government, Electoral System e.t.c. For Nigeria to move forward as a nation, we must convene a sovereign National Conference.
I seek for your support in our quest for Liberation and an Egalitarian society and I can assure we shall be proud of ourselves at the end of the day......Adedapo Lam Adesina
NIGERIA MUST RISE AGAIN
