August 28, (THEWILL) – The Presidency, on Monday, disclosed that President Bola Tinubu will not tolerate failure from any of his ministers and will not hesitate to sanction anyone.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, made this known on Monday, when he appeared on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, monitored by THEWILL.
Ngelale said the President used the interim period between his emergence as the president-elect and his inauguration on May 29, to set up a series of reform committees across all the sectors.
His words: “The President has set the benchmarks. The question now is about enforcements and the President has shown, as he did during his time in Lagos State as governor, that he is not someone that is afraid to fire anybody.
“He is not somebody that is afraid to levy quick sanctions to ensure that they get the results that he wants cause, ultimately, if this administration fails, they will not say a minister failed or a set of ministers failed. They will say President Bola Tinubu failed, and he will not accept failure.
“Tinubu basically looked at exactly what His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari has achieved and said, ‘This is what we want to do to build on all these achievements…
“We’re going to effectively implement a plan within a certain amount of time based on time-based benchmarks that when a minister has come in, we would be able to measure their performance against.
“Every minister coming in absolutely knows what they have to achieve within the time frame that’s been given to them by the President and that’s something in the history of Nigerian governance we’ve never seen before.”
