The presidency has said that ministers who are not delivering on the task assigned to them by President Bola Tinubu will be sacked.
TrackNews Media reports that President Tinubu had appointed and assigned portfolios to Nyesom Wike, Festus Keyamo, Dave Umahi, Tunji Olubunmi-Ojo and over 40 others in August 2023.
But speaking at the opening of the technical retreat for delivery desk officers of federal ministries in Uyo on Wednesday, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy and Coordination and Head, Central Delivery and Coordination Unit, Hadiza Bala Usman, says Tinubu will drop ministers who do not deliver on their mandates.
Usman said the president was serious about delivering on his campaign promises to Nigerians.
While asking for the total commitment of delivery officers and directors of planning in ministries who were present at the retreat, Bala-Usman urged them to get serious with their jobs.
“We must understand that the president is very serious about his promises and that ministers will be assessed, and ministers will be dropped if they don’t perform,” she said.
“You must understand that as ministerial delivery desk officers you are the engine room that will provide that feedback and constantly track ministerial progress and report challenges and bottlenecks to the central coordinating and delivery unit (CDCU).

“What are the consequences of delayed time of departure for airlines? These are things that everybody can feel and see.
