I Trust, Count On You For A Perfect Work Ministers Designate

Ahead of their inauguration on Wednesday, ministers designate
are attending a two-day retreat in Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari has just declared the session
open.

Addressing the ministers, the President said the country and the
administration would rely on them to implement policies and
programmes to lift Nigerians out of poverty.

“I count on you”, Buhari stated.

He added “We must work as a team. Working as a team demands that
we know what the next person is doing. You must open communication
with your colleagues. Lack of communication leads to lack of
cooperation and sub-optimal performance.

“We are working to lift Nigerians out of poverty and set them on
the path to prosperity. We intend to lift 100 million Nigerians out
of poverty over the next 10 years.”

Buhari went on to congratulate the new members of his
cabinet.

He said, “I congratulate all newcomers who are joining the
first-termers. You’re in office to assist and advise the President
in running the affairs of Nigeria. A great privilege to be called
to serve and you must grasp the chance with two hands and put in
your best efforts.”

The ministers designate had earlier being addressed by the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, who
told them, “All our work must connect to the aspirations of the
people.”

Present at the retreat were Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and
Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.

The session went into closed-doors soon after Buhari’s
speech.
