President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has threatened to relieve non-performing political appointees of their appointments to make way for committed Nigerians to deliver.
The President made the threat in Abuja while declaring open a 3-day retreat for cabinet members of his administration.
He said at the end of the retreat, participants would be made to sign a bond with him, warning that a Result Delivery Unit, to be headed by the Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Co-ordination, Hadiza Bala Usman, would evaluate their performances.
“If you are performing nothing to fear, if you miss the objective, we’ll review, if do perform you leave us. If you have any complaints about her, see me. If you’re ready to work with her, stay there. Delivery, yes, we must achieve it for the sake of Nigerians.
“We are not looking backwards, we can’t complain and give excuses. This is our country we have to build it, we have to renew the foundation. We have to give hope to the populace, to Nigerians in doubt whether democracy and economic growth will be the pathway to their prosperity.
“I’m here to assure you and walk with you the best brain we can put together in civil service, the brain that we can put together in our democratic parliament and has been chosen for us by the public”, President Tinubu stressed.
He emphasised that a great Nigeria was possible under their commitment, guidance, and resolute determination to give the country direction.
President Tinubu advised them to be committed to the values and principles of results that could impact Nigerians positively as the last six months of the administration were focused on reviewing and evaluating themselves, which has made it possible for them to set the agenda to guide them.
The President acknowledged that Nigerians were going through the reform agenda painfully, even though they still had other challenges to contend with.
“We will transform the economy to work for millions of our citizens we must take 50 million people out of poverty. We must build healthcare that works for all. Look around don’t be wicked. Look at the standard of education, look at the classrooms, look at the roads. We can only spend the money, we cannot spend the people.”
