…Urges Tinubu to get Nigerian opinions on Administration
A group, Emerging Leaders Forum of Nigeria (ELFON), has listed six performing Ministers in the cabinet of President Bola Tinubu in his first one year.
The group led by Godstime Chukwubuikem Samuel, also urged the president to seek the opinions of Nigerians on the performance of his administration rather than relying on the Ministerial Sectoral Briefings, thereby making them judges in their own case.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has instructed 47 Ministers to present their performance scorecards to.Nigerians ahead of his administration’s 1year anniversary.
But ELFON said Ministerial scorecard may not provide the desired result.
Godstime suggested that if the President genuinely seeks unbiased evaluations of the Ministers’ performances, he should ask Nigerians for their opinions. He highlighted that 50 percent of the Ministers have failed to grasp their roles adequately, while 35 percent have performed fairly.
The group said in its research on the first year performance of the administration, it found six Ministers worthy of praise.
The listed performing minister according to the group are Minister of Interior, Tunji Ojo, the Minister of Works, David Umahi, the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, Minister of Health, Muhammad Ali Pate and the Minister of Niger Delta, Abubakar Momoh
The group stated, “According to Nigerians’ assessments, only six Ministers have performed exceptionally well despite the ongoing economic challenges.
“Given the economic crisis plaguing the country, 35 percent of the Ministers have performed fairly, while six have done exceptionally well by Nigerians’ assessment,” Godstime stated.
The ELFON President questioned what kind of report the President expects from the Ministers, doubting that any Minister would critically evaluate their own performance.
ELFON said it gathered independent feedback from Nigerians across all 774 local government areas on the performance of President Tinubu and his Ministers. Based on these unbiased reports, the six standout Ministers are: the Minister of Interior, the Minister of Works, the Minister of State for Defence, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the Minister of Health, and the Minister of Niger Delta.
