President Bola Tinubu says none of his appointees would be allowed to give excuses for non-performance in their duties and responsibilities.
Among individuals in Mr Tinubu’s cabinet are former Governor Nyesom Wike, Festus Keyamo, Dele Alake and Atiku Bagudu.
In a New Year address to the nation on Monday in Lagos, Mr Tinubu said he had pledged to serve the country and would give his best for the benefit of the Nigerians.
Mr Tinubu said, “It is the reason I put in place a Policy Coordination, Evaluation, Monitoring and Delivery Unit in the Presidency to make sure that governance output improves the living condition of our people. We have set the parameters for evaluation. Within the first quarter of this New Year, ministers and heads of agencies with a future in this administration that I lead will continue to show themselves.
“Fellow Nigerians, my major ambition in government as a senator in the aborted Third Republic, as governor of Lagos state for eight years and now as the president, is to build a fair and equitable society and close the widening inequality.”
“While I believe the rich should enjoy their legitimately-earned wealth,” Mr Tinubu stressed, “our minimum bargain must be that any Nigerian that works hard and diligent enough will have a chance to get ahead in life.”
The Nigerian leader noted, “Because God didn’t create us with equal talents and strengths, I cannot guarantee that we will have equal outcomes when we work hard,” assuring that “my government, in this New Year 2024 and beyond, will work to give every Nigerian equal opportunity to strive and to thrive.”
Mr Tinubu, however, said individual and collective support and collaboration for the good intentions of the government must be exhibited by all Nigerians, adding that building a prosperous Nigeria is not for only a few people.
