Tinubu Sets The Bar High For Progress
President Bola Tinubu has unleashed a new era with a resounding message of action and commitment, setting the stage for a brighter future. The recent Cabinet Retreat at the Presidential Villa was more than just a meeting; it was a call to action, a pledge to deliver results and reignite hope for millions of Nigerians.
At the heart of this gathering was President Tinubu, who didn't hold back in delivering a stern message to his ministers and government functionaries. He emphasized the need for tangible results and an unwavering commitment to the nation's progress. He said there's no room for complacency in this administration.
According to the president,Periodic assessments will keep everyone on their toes, and those who don't measure up will find themselves heading for the exit.
The theme of this retreat? 'Delivering on the Renewed Hope Agenda.' It's not just a catchy phrase; it's a comprehensive plan encompassing every aspect of Nigerian life. President Tinubu's dedication to this agenda is unwavering. He knows that it's not just about economic growth; it's about creating a just and equitable society for all Nigerians. It's about jobs, education, healthcare, and reducing poverty. It's about making sure every Nigerian has an opportunity to succeed.
Education and healthcare are in the spotlight. President Tinubu emphasized that "no other weapon against poverty than education." It's a call to arms for his team to take bold steps in these areas. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, and an educated and healthy population is the cornerstone of a prosperous nation.
Insults won't stop me from conducting credible election - Imo REC
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Imo State, Prof Sylva Agu, talks to AYOOLA OLASUPO about the allegation against her, and the preparation of the Independent National Electoral Commission for the governorship election in the state, among other issues
There are talks that the off-season elections in Imo and the other states are an opportunity for the Independent National Electoral Commission to redeem its image considering the outcome of the last general elections. Do you also share this view?
Remember this is an off-season election and it's being conducted in three states of the federation. So, in this election, it is not only me that will conduct it. We are going to have other Resident Electoral Commissioners across the nation coming to help us. I believe by the grace of God, the problem we had the last time, which was the uploading of results, will be a thing of the past. We had a glitch with uploading the results of the presidential election, but others were uploaded without a hitch from the polling unit level. The glitch we had with the presidential upload was not local because I don't know what caused it but this time around; it is not only me that will conduct the election.
I will just be in the state office. Other RECs are coming to ensure that we conduct a credible, free, and inclusive election; so, it is not about whether she is the one conducting it. I'm going to be there in conjunction with about nine RECs with the National Commissioner from Abuja. Imo State will be receiving people coming to help them with this election to make it seamless. We only appeal to the politicians not to incite or trigger violence because we are ready to deliver the mandate by the grace of God.
