President Jonathan said, adding that the brainstorming session had been scheduled because he wanted his inaugural activities to include not just pomp and pageantry as usual, but also serious preparation for the successful implementation of his Agenda for National Transformation.The President told Prof. Sachs that he was fully committed to pursuing a multifaceted, integrated strategy for rapid national development that will yield significant benefits in public infrastructure, power supply, education, healthcare, job creation, poverty alleviation and other areas.
“We must pursue an integrated approach. There is no way we can isolate any particular sector for attention as they are all inter-related. If we do that, we will fail,” he said.
