In its assessment of the Tinubu led administration in the last one year, the Concerned Northern Forum (CNF), has scored the minister of Steel Development, Hon. Shuaibu Audu and his counterpart in the ministry of Federal Capital Territory; Hon. Nyesom Wike high over their excellent performance.
Others who made the list of the forum in its scorecard is the minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi and the minister of Interior, Hon. Bunmi Ojo respectively. The dou were equally scored high for their commitment and dedication towards the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Addressing a press conference on Sunday in Kaduna, the coalition disclosed that having carried out its assessment of all ministers with due diligence in the period under review shows that the aforementioned ministers are worthy ambassadors of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
In his speech, the National Vice Chairman of the Coalition, Comrade Muhammad Aminu Abbas, congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his impactful one year in office and hailed Ministers whose performance thrilled and gave Nigerians hope for a better Nigeria.
Highlighting the performances of the ministers, Abbas explained that: “based on our scorecard, the following Ministers have made it on our elite list of top performers. They are; H.E. Nyesom Wike, who as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory has revolutionized the provision of infrastructure and land administration in the FCT within a short period of time in office.”
The Coalition also applauded the minister of Works Engr. Dave Umahi, whom they said his giant strides in road construction including the legacy Lagos to Calabar coastal highway and Badagry to Sokoto highway as well as the ingenious use of cement for construction has drastically cut down the cost of road construction and reduced pressure on our foreign exchange.
“Another top performer deserving of mention is Hon. Bunmi Ojo, whose Interior Ministry employed innovative technology and cost saving means to clear the backlog of passport application, ushering in an era of instant passport application and collection.”
In addition, the Coalition explained that the Ministry of Steel Development has shown to have the potential for the industrialization and rapid economic development of the nation.
While appreciating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for deploying technical parameters to measure the performance of all ministries using key indicators, the Coalition tipped the Minister of Steel Development, hence the need to be applauded.
“It is on this note that we have decided pick Hon. Prince Shuaibu Audu as our star performer amongst all the Ministers and to make our position known on the historic developments in the steel sector within the last one year.
“The fact remains that the Minister has performed excellently well and even beyond the expectations of Nigerians as he strives to revive the hitherto moribund steel sector including the comatose Ajaokuta Steel Complex.
“In line with the vision and blueprint of Tinubu who is determined to stir Nigeria on the path of economic recovery and growth, the Minister has already taken steps to explore the possibility of securing up to $5 million funding from the World Bank to finance the 10-year roadmap for the steel and metals sector,” the Coalition explained.
