- He highlights Tinubu’s plan to use the Special Adviser on Policy Coordination for the review, employing a new Performance Bond with Key Performance Indicators
Osun State’s All Progressives Congress chieftain, Mr. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, urges President Bola Tinubu to conduct periodic integrity reviews of Federal cabinet members and those steering the Renewed Hope Initiative.
Emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability, Oyintiloye recalls the president’s commitment to quarterly reviews during a cabinet retreat.
He highlights Tinubu’s plan to use the Special Adviser on Policy Coordination for the review, employing a new Performance Bond with Key Performance Indicators.
Oyintiloye stresses that the assessment should go beyond numerical achievements, focusing on how resources benefit the masses, cautioning against jeopardizing poverty-alleviation efforts due to the actions of self-serving individuals.
He said, “There is a need to genuinely fight corruption in the system, which will, in turn, renew the hope of the masses in this present administration. And that is why the president needs to continually engage in financial integrity reviews of his cabinet members, who are his foot soldiers in the renewed hope agenda.
“It is obvious that Mr. President is passionate and committed to lifting millions of Nigerians out of poverty and revitalising the economy through intervention programmes in various ministries, departments, and government agencies.
“But those who are not in tune with the president in growing the economy and minimise poverty are the ones who see the position of authority as a means of enriching their pockets. And this kind of mentality is slowing down the impacts of the various poverty alleviation programmes on the masses.”
He, however, commended the president for the establishment of the special presidential panel for the review and audit of existing financial frameworks and policy guidelines of the social investment programmes.
