Tinubu Committed To New Minimum Wage, Urges State Governments To Ensure Full Implementation - Akume

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, has advised the newly appointed ministers to shun personal, ethnic and sectional interests while carrying out their duties.​


Naija News reports that Akume gave the charge on Thursday during the opening of a 2-day induction retreat organized by his office for the appointees in Abuja.

According to Akume, the ministers are expected to uphold national interest, stressing that President Bola Tinubu entrusted them with ensuring development, stability, and growth in their various sectors.

The SGF further tasked the ministers to work as a cohesive and dedicated team to achieve the administration’s goals to tackle poverty, enhance security, drive economic diversification, and improve critical infrastructure, among others.

He said, “As ministers in your respective ministries, the president has entrusted you with the mandate of driving the administration’s renewed hope agenda for development, stability, and growth in your sector.

“You are, therefore, expected to shun personal, ethnic and sectional interests and uphold our national interests.

“As ministers, your duties include upholding national cohesion and to promote peace for national unity and development.”
