Ministerial Scorecard: Coalition Scores Wike, Umahi Others High

Concerned Northern Forum (CNF) has scored the ministers of Steel Development, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Works and Interior high for their dedication in achieving President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Addressing a press conference at Arewa House in Kaduna yesterday  the coalition’s national vice chairman, Comrade Muhammad Abbas, congratulated President Tinubu for his impactful one year in office and hailed his ministers whose performance, he said, gave Nigerians hope for a better Nigeria.

He said “Today, we are gathered to celebrate and congratulate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR on his impactful one year in office and also to run a scorecard on some performing ministers towards decorating the most outstanding stewards in the current cabinet who have flown high the banner of Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda. This is our modest way of encouraging Nigerians to imbibe the virtue of hard work and excellence.

“Having done our due diligence and evaluated all the ministers under the administration in the period under review, we have identified true patriots who have served President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and indeed Nigerians as excellent Ministers and worthy ambassadors of the Federal Executive Council (FEC). 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 revolutionised the provision of infrastructure and land administration in the FCT within a short period of time in office.

“Equally deserving of accolades is H.E. Engr. Dave Umahi, Minister of Works whose 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 T. 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.

The coalition’s spotlight was however, on the Minister of Steel Development, Hon. Prince Shuaibu Audu whom they described as “a youth like them, a rare breed who has demonstrated enormous capacity in the Ministry of Steel Development and has more than all the other Ministers pioneered policies and projects which have the potential for the industrialization and rapid economic development of the nation”.
