President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday warned that ministers who do not deliver on their assignments and set targets would be sent packing from the cabinet.
Tinubu added that ministers in his cabinet would only be allowed to keep their positions if they continue to perform as expected with periodic reviews.
The President handed down the warning while opening the 2023 Cabinet Retreat for Ministers, presidential aides, Permanent Secretaries, and top government Functionaries.
“If you are performing, nothing to fear, if you miss the objective we review, if you don’t perform, you leave us… Don’t be a clog in the wheel of Nigeria’s progress,” said the president.
Tinubu noted that his Special Adviser on Policy Coordination, Hadiza Usman, who will spearhead the Result Delivery Unit, will closely monitor the performances of the Ministries, Departments and Agencies across the eight priority areas of his administration.
The President also made it clear that performances would be evaluated and accountability upheld.
This includes a performance bond to form the basis of periodic reviews and evaluations.
“At the end of this retreat, you will sign a performance bond with me…You are here to help me succeed and succeed I must…I have appointed a dynamic young lady Hadiza Bala Usman as my SA on Policy Coordination. If you have a problem with her, come to me. If you don’t, stay where you are and work,” he told the ministers.
