President Tinubu Is Serious About Sacking Non-Performing Ministers – Aide
President Bola Tinubu will sack ministers who failed to deliver on their mandates, Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination and Head, Central Delivery and Coordination Unit, Hadiza Bala Usman, has said.
Noting the seriousness that the president attached to delivering on his promises, Usman said, “We must understand that the president is very serious about his promises and that ministers will be assessed, and ministers will be dropped if they don’t perform."
She spoke at the opening of the technical retreat for delivery desk officers of federal ministries on the implementation of presidential priorities and ministerial deliverables in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.
Hadiza, however, called for the total commitment of delivery officers and directors of planning in ministries who were present at the retreat, Daily Trust reports.
“You must understand that as ministerial delivery desk officers, you are the engine room," she said, adding that they were expected to provide "feedback and constantly track ministerial progress and report challenges and bottlenecks to the central coordinating and delivery unit (CDCU)."
According to her, “we will be assessing FAAN (Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria) on customer experience at the airports; are the escalators, lifts, and conveyor belts functional? How swift is security clearance both for passengers and vehicles in accessing the airport?
“What are the consequences of delayed time of departure for airlines? These are things that everybody can feel and see. When we are talking about agriculture, we want to see our index of fertilizer use per hectare grow in view of the attendant investment that has been made in fertilizer interventions.”
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, reminded participants about Tinubu’s plan to ensure the active and direct participation of citizens in governance.
Represented by Sir Olusegun Adekunle, a former Permanent Secretary, General Services Office, Akume, reminded them that they have a role to play in ensuring that ministries and parastatals deliver on their mandates.
