President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has inaugurated 45 members of
his cabinet, cautioning them that they owe Nigerians accountability, trust and
transparency in the discharge of their duties.
At the inauguration, which took place at the Presidential
Villa Abuja on Monday, Tinubu said being the President at this point in time as
the driver of the renewed hope agenda, Nigerians will be queuing behind and
expecting to receive the dividends of democracy.
He congratulated the ministerial appointees, saying he
personally picked them to help him run the affairs of his administration, but
that they will be closely monitored to deliver on their mandates.
Tinubu’s words, “in line with the constitutional
obligations, the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has screened and
confirmed 45 ministers who will superintend over the ministries of federal
government in this administration of renewed hope.
“The men and women who have been sworn-in have been
carefully selected by me for their track record of excellence and achievement
in the public and private sector.
“They reflect the diversity of Nigeria and bring to their
new role an assortment of experience and expertise to help guide the nation’s
affairs and also continue to rebuild the nation and re-engineer all our
finances and defects, building blocks of Nigeria today and the future.
“Fellow Nigerians, the challenges we face today are very
daunting. Yet amidst this evident challenge, we have the opportunity to
implement long overdue reforms that will improve the operation of government,
transform our nation’s economy and ensure peace, safety and prosperity for our
people.
“These are the objectives that underpin the renewed hope
agenda. And these are the objectives that inspired the selection of a lot of these
distinguished ladies and gentlemen ministers.
“As ministers of the federal republic, you are not minister
of a region or minister of a particular state.
“Since my inauguration on May 29, I have taken steps to
begin implementing the agenda from which I campaigned and for which I received
the mandate of the Nigerian people. With the inauguration of ministers today,
we are about to accelerate our governing efforts to move forward, highlighting
our best aspiration for Nigerians. It is all about a great team. And I believe
we have them here.
“It is the highest honour to be chosen to serve as the
minister in the Federal Executive Council of our beloved Republic. With such
high honour comes tremendous responsibility.
“All of you who have been sworn in have been called to
distinguish yourselves. It is me who knows you. I delegate this authority but
the greatest number of Nigerians are highly expecting delivery, accountability
and transparency.
“I expect that you will serve with integrity, dignity and
deliver. I will hold you to that standard we all promised Nigerians.
Your assignment begins immediately. As your country honours
you today, by this call to service, you must each work to make yourself worthy
in the eyes of God and all our nation’s people.
“I believe in you that the government can be a positive
force for transformation and a vehicle for collective progress of this country.
“I congratulate you and welcome you to the administration of
renewed hope.
“I wish you success in this new assignment. We are on this
boat even if it is a vehicle and I am the driver. The entire Nigerians are
behind sitting and watching as you and I navigate this vehicle.
“We must hold each other responsible. We have to do the job
to meet the expectations of all Nigerians.
As I said earlier on, you are not a minister of a particular
state, colony, region or ethnic nationality, you are a Minister of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. God be with you and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you very much”.

We pray for you to succeed but the earlier you remove this your ngalele the better for you and Nigerians. He seems to be over doing things with no tendency of mercy for the masses. Who told h9m nigeria spends 10bn dollars to refine crude to fuel. Probably he has a company to import fuel the reason he is discouraging revival of refineries. There is something fishy with this oyinbo looking young man
