Main point of the agenda is ensuring the execution of the second Niger Bridge project, as scheduled. NUF also called for the use of reputable persons from the Eastern region in his government, as well as giving the region an additional state.

The organization asked the President-elect to reduce accidents on federal roads by constructing a dual carriage way since most of the roads were currently single lane and in a state of disrepair. According to the group, Buhari should also implement the national confab report as this will help fortify national unity.
