He stated, “If you are performing, there’s nothing to fear. If you miss the objectives, we will review your performance. If you don’t perform, you will have to leave us.”
The President also introduced his Special Adviser on Policy Coordination, Hadiza Usman, who will oversee the Result Delivery Unit responsible for monitoring the performance of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies across eight priority areas of his administration.
President Tinubu underlined the importance of evaluating performances and upholding accountability.
He announced the introduction of a performance bond as the basis for periodic reviews and assessments, which all ministers will sign.
“At the end of this retreat, you will sign a performance bond with me…You are here to help me succeed and succeed I must…I have appointed a dynamic young lady Hadiza Bala Usman as my SA on Policy Coordination. If you have a problem with her, come to me. If you don’t, stay where you are and work,” he stressed further.
