I’ll sack non-performing cabinet members – President Tinubu vows

The Nigeria President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians to drop non performing member of his cabinet.

He said this while speaking at a meeting with the leadership of Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday, 30th of May, 2024. The President states he would continue to do his best for the country.

According to him,

“I thank the cabinet members for their efforts, but i will relieve any of them of duties anytime I feel they’re failing Nigerians. “

“I will appeal to you to summon the governors. I am doing my very best to enhance the revenue base of the country. They must equally be sympathetic, and they must urgently consider the needs of the local people. People reside in the local communities. That is where they work, farm, and live. If the local governments are not effective in delivering services; as leaders, we must not hang on to the numbers.

Maybe we should look at recalibrating. What was good four years ago may not be good today. When we want the votes, we go to the locals; when we get the votes, we move to and focus on Abuja,” he said.

Speaking on the significance of education in nation-building, the President described the situation of out-of-school children in parts of Nigeria as unacceptable. “The question of out-of-school children is unacceptable. Education is a tool against poverty, and that is what brought many of us here. We must use our education to serve the people and improve their conditions. We must develop the backbone of Nigeria’s economy, which is the education system. We will collaborate with you on this intensively.

We are still building Nigeria, and I am glad that you have emphasized the need for development. The infrastructure decay is unacceptable, and the level of poverty in the north is unacceptable. We must eliminate the source of these trends,” President Tinubu said. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
