President Bola Tinubu on Monday vowed to hold his newly inaugurated Ministers to account over their service to the Nigerian people.
He said this on Monday while charging them at the swearing in ceremony which held at the State House, Abuja.
This is just as he mandated them to meet the expectations of Nigerians.
The President disclosed that the ministers were selected based on their personal experiences to continue with the work of nation-building, noting that the challenges before them could be “very daunting” but that the government was poised on the push to introduce a Renewed Hope.
He said: “It is all about a great team and I believe we have them here. The greatest number of Nigerians are highly expectant. They believe that you will serve with integrity and deliver. I will hold you to account.”
President Tinubu also told the new Ministers to note that their assignment begins immediately, even as he also urged them to restore faith in governance to instill trust in the government.
“I welcome you to the administration of Renewed Hope. We are in this boat (together); this is a vehicle and I am the driver. The entire Nigerians are watching as we navigate this vehicle. We have to do the job to meet the expectations of all Nigerians,” he stated.
The event was attended by Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, among other dignitaries.
