President Bola Tinubu has charged his cabinet members to work hard and be committed to creating a buoyant economy that will serve every Nigerian.
The President said this on Monday during his opening remarks at the inaugural Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the State House.
Tinubu told FEC members including ministers to work hard, saying that the expectations of Nigerians are very high and underperformance won’t be tolerated.
The President also restated his government‘s policy agenda which include reforming the economy to deliver sustainable and inclusive growth, and strengthen national security for peace and prosperity.
Tinubu noted that the country would rely on the experience, skill, intellect and networking of those that had been appointed to make headway in the challenging times, and failure would not be explained away under his watch.
“You and I know that expectations are high, and these are tough times. We must work hard and move ourselves to create a buoyant economy that will serve Nigeria. We have an employment rate that is unacceptable, and we are facing threats from climate change.
“In order to turn things around, you have been selected to perform your utmost best. Our policy implementation will reform the economy, ensure inclusive growth, and strengthen security for peace and prosperity. Without security, there can be no investment,” the President said.
The recently inaugurated ministers were present at the inaugural FEC meeting.
The President had on August 21, 2023 sworn in 45 ministers after they were screened and cleared by the Senate.
