By Kingston Magare
Special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga said Thursday that poor performing ministers were booted out by the President based on a performance review, by members of the public.
The performance review was carried out Hadiza Bala Usman, the President’s Social Adviser on Policy.
“Hadiza brought technology to it, asking Nigerians to score the ministers,” Onanuga said on Arise TV.
“The results were based on empirical facts, the public perception of these ministers, and it was the people who actually did the scorecard. The President acted on those results.”
The ministers given the boot include Prof. Tahir Mamman (Education), Uju Kennedy Ohanenye (Women Affairs), Mohammed Gwarzo (State for Housing), Jamila Ibrahim (Youth Development), Lola Ade-John (Tourism), and suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Betta Edu, who has since been replaced.
Meanwhile former Women Affairs minister Uju Kennedy Ohanenye said she happy that President Bola Tinubu gave the opportunity to serve the country.
“I write to express my sincere gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the opportunity to serve as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It has been an honour and a privilege to contribute to the development of our Nation,” she wrote on her X handle on Thursday morning.
“I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for her invaluable guidance and support during my tenure as Minister of Women Affairs. Her kindness and encouragement have been instrumental to my success.
“To the people of Nigeria, I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support. Your trust and confidence in me have been a constant source of inspiration.
“I remain committed to serving my country and will continue to do my utmost to contribute to its progress and prosperity,” she stated in a letter to the President.
