This booklet summarises the policy positions of Atiku Abubakar, who is aspiring to become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, under the PDP. The premise of Atiku’s policy proposal is that the resources of the Federal Government will be most effectively utilised if they are deployed on a few priority areas such as infrastructure development, job creation, and provision of adequate security, effective resolution of the Niger Delta problem, good governance and war against corruption. The document sets out various initiatives for addressing issues associated with its priority areas, pointing out that central to any future reform efforts is a review and revision of the role of the state to make it play a more active role in promoting market based mechanisms.
