Tinubu to new ministers: We must hold each other responsible

President Bola Tinubu has told his newly appointed ministers to serve the nation with integrity and dignity.

He spoke at the Conference Centre of the State House, Abuja, on Monday after the new ministers, 45 of them, were sworn in.

He said, “We are on this boat even if it is a vehicle and I am the driver. The entire Nigerians are behind sitting and watching as you and I navigate this vehicle.

“We must hold each other responsible. We have to do the job to meet the expectations of all Nigerians.”

The President stressed the need for transparency and accountability among the ministers for effective performance.

He said, “Nigerians expect that you will act with integrity, dignity, and deliver. I will hold you to that standard we all promised Nigerians.

“It’s all about a great team, and I believe we have them here. It is a high honour to be chosen to serve as a minister in the Federal Executive Council of our beloved republic, and with such a high honour comes tremendous responsibility.

“In this moment of abundant promise and peril in equal measure, all of you who have been sworn in have been called to distinguish yourselves.

“Your assignment begins immediately. As your country honours you today with this call to service, you must each work to make your self worthy in the eyes of God and all our nation’s people.”
