The president has put his foot down, demanding the best of service from his appointees in the new year.
One thing President Bola Tinubu expects from everyone he gave an appointment is performance.
He says he will not allow any of his appointees to give excuses for non-performance in their assigned duties and responsibilities.
In a New Year address to the nation on Monday in Lagos, Tinubu said that he had pledged to serve the country and would give his best for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
“It is the reason I put in place a Policy Coordination, Evaluation, Monitoring and Delivery Unit in the Presidency to make sure that governance output improves the living conditions of our people.
“We have set the parameters for evaluation.
“Within the first quarter of this New Year, Ministers and Heads of Agencies with a future in this administration that I lead will continue to show themselves.”
Tinubu Promises Equal Opportunity
He said: “Fellow Nigerians, my major ambition in government as a Senator in the aborted Third Republic, as Governor of Lagos State for eight years and now as the President, is to build a fair and equitable society and close the widening inequality.

“While I believe the rich should enjoy their legitimately-earned wealth, our minimum bargain must be that any Nigerian that works hard and diligent enough will have a chance to get ahead in life.
“I must add that because God didn’t create us with equal talents and strengths, I cannot guarantee that we will have equal outcomes when we work hard.
“But my government, in this New Year 2024 and beyond, will work to give every Nigerian equal opportunity to strive and to thrive.”’
However, Tinubu stressed that Nigerians must exhibit individual and collective support and collaboration for the good intentions of government.
According to him, building a prosperous Nigeria is not for only a few people.
