Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, has advised the newly appointed ministers to work closely with agency heads, permanent secretaries and other key officials to achieve their mandates.
Akume gave this advice on the second day of the induction retreat for the seven newly appointed ministers.
DAILY POST recalls that President Bola Tinubu had, on October 23, reshuffled his cabinet, dismissing five ministers and appointing seven new ones.
The new ministers are Nentawe Yilwatda, Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction; Muhammadu Dingyadi, Labour and Employment and Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, State for Foreign Affairs.
Others are Jumoke Oduwole, Industry, Trade, and Investment; Idi Maiha, Livestock Development; Yusuf Ata, State for Housing and Urban Development and Suwaiba Ahmad, State for Education.
According to the SGF, effective inter-ministerial cooperation is essential to addressing challenges such as economic recovery, social cohesion, and sustainable development.
“Your roles require close collaboration with fellow ministers, permanent secretaries, heads of agencies, and other stakeholders,” he said.
He urged the ministers to embrace transparency, accountability and excellence in fulfilling their public trust.
Akume also encouraged them to provide leadership in formulating, implementing, and monitoring government policies and programs, assuring them of his office’s full support.
