TINUBU'S STUBBORNNESS TO RETAIN INTERIOR MINISTER IS ASSET.

Not everything about President Bola Tinubu is negative after all!

(1) Although he was advised by Professor Itse Sagay, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) to his predecessor in office in 2023 to suspend removal of petrol subsidy to no avail and Citizens still suffer the consequences!

(2) And also early 2024, he was advised to sack some delinquent Cabinet Ministers - he suspended some and retained one very controversial persona from the private sector and his stubbornness paid off!

(3)  In spite of the hue, cry and public outrage, he stood his ground and as at now, this character is the shining star in Tinubu's Administration! His innocence was proven beyond reasonable doubt!

(4) It is no longer in contention that effective security architecture is the backbone to socio-economic progress which the Ministry of Interior must play a major role!

We affirm that Hon Tunji-Ojo, is a ministerial round peg in a round hole in view of his sound intelligence and understanding of the dynamics of and technology in advancing effective security! Although an allegation was made against him that his Private Company partook in a scandalous contract at the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation and collected a whooping sum of NGN438.1million naira which was classified as abuse of office, he was investigated but not sacked as demanded from many quarters!

An Opposition Party Chieftain claimed he had gathered evidence that a company owned by Minister Tunji Ojo, New Planet Project Limited, was paid a total of N438.1 million by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation under the leadership of Dr. Betta Edu, for consultancy services. This payment was part of the N3 billion awarded to several consultants for the National Social Register contract, which was intended for cash transfers and social investment programs.

He was cleared through confirmation that the Minister formally resigned ownership of the said Company in 2019 when he won election into the House of Representatives .

A critical assessment of the controversy which surrounded accusations of corruption against him early 2024, could have derailed his determination to make a difference!

BUT he remained focused with his management team to pursue:

1) FAST ELECTRONIC PASSPORT TO FRUITION;

2)  E-GATES - (a one-stop security electronic check of inward air travelers at the Lagos and Abuja International Airports.

3) Establishment of Social Security and Insurance to Nigerian Citizens which according to him was dear to the heart of the President!

MEDIA REPORTS ON SOME OF THE POSITIVE ACTIVITIES IN THE INTERIOR MINISTRY:

SOCIAL SECURITY OF NIGERIANS IS DEAR TO PRESIDENT TINUBU- DR. TUNJI-OJO

The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has reiterated the Federal Government's dedication to providing social security and insurance to Nigerian citizens.

He said social security is very important and it is at the heart of the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's policy trust.

The Minister who made the remarks while receiving the Managing Director of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Mr. Faleye Oluwaseun Mayomi in the Minister's Office in Abuja, emphasized that social security is a critical aspect of governance, serving as a bridge between the vulnerable and the strong.

The Minister commended the Management of the NSITF for its efforts in promoting social insurance and providing compensation to employees.

He acknowledged that the mandate of NSITF is wide-ranging and encouraged the agency to continue its good work. Dr. Tunji-Ojo, urged NSITF to be creative and innovative in its approach, emphasizing the need to win the confidence of the people.

He also encouraged the NSITF to explore innovative strategies to incorporate the non-formal sector workers to the formal framework taking cue from the successful model of the National Pension Commission

Reaffirming the government's commitment to social security and insurance, the Minister stressed the importance of protecting Nigerian citizens.

As the government continues to work towards creating a more equitable society, NSITF's role in providing compensation and support to employees will remain crucial.

Earlier in his address, the Managing Director of the National Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Mr.Faleye Oluwaseun Mayomi, who led a delegation to the Ministry of Interior advocated for enhanced compliance with the Employees Compensation Scheme.

He said the scheme, as mandated by law, provides compensation to employees who suffer work-related accidents or injuries.

The Managing Director emphasized the importance of advocating for the benefits of the social safety net for Nigerian workers, citing the strategic importance of the Ministry of Interior and its agencies.

He added "NSITF is responsible for managing and paying compensation and claims related to employee work-related accidents, including death benefits and medical refunds". The Managing Director noted that the visit was aimed at addressing compliance barriers between the NSITF and relevant agencies, as well as driving strategic initiatives that benefit employees and the workforce.

Mr Mayomi said that the NSITF looks forward to collaborating with the Ministry and its agencies to promote the benefits of the Employees Compensation Scheme and enhance compliance. (Press Release.)

MINISTER OF INTERIOR INSPECTS E-VERIFICATION GATES FOR ENHANCED SECURITY, TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

As part of a comprehensive strategy to bolster internal security and streamline the arrival experience for Nigerians entering the country, the Minister of Interior, Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on Monday 19th February 2024, led a delegation from the Ministry to inspect the ongoing installation of E-verification gates at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

These state-of-the-art E-verification gates are a major component of the E-Immigration project, aimed at modernizing and optimising immigration processes across Nigeria's airports.

Notably, four out of the planned 10 gates have already been installed at the Abuja airport. It is expected that the remaining six gates will be operational before the end of the month.

Expressing satisfaction with the progress made thus far, Dr. Tunji-Ojo emphasized the crucial role of these E-verification gates in reducing waiting times for arriving passengers.

“With an impressive clearance time of just 30 seconds per individual, the gates are set to establish a new standard for efficiency in airport processing, comparable to global benchmarks,” the Minister said.

He further stressed the transformative impact of this investment, noting that it will significantly enhance national security by providing an additional layer of scrutiny for inbound travelers.

“Through advanced biometric scanning and automated flagging systems, the gates will swiftly identify individuals of interest or those on watchlists, bolstering the efforts of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to safeguard the nation's borders,” he said.

During the inspection, Dr. Tunji-Ojo also assessed the progress of construction and installation work at the Command-and-Control Centre and border control data center, both housed within the NIS headquarters.

He commended the NIS for exceeding 70 per cent completion on these critical infrastructure projects, affirming the agency's commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology for operational efficiency and security enhancement.

The project aims to deliver a total of 40 E-verification gates across multiple airports by the end of the first quarter. These installations will include 10 gates in Abuja, 17 in Lagos, five in Kano, and four each in Enugu and Port-Harcourt.

With these transformative initiatives, Nigeria is poised to enhance border security, streamline immigration processes, and provide travelers with a safer, more efficient travel experience.

“Nigerians will soon be able to sleep with their two eyes closed, knowing fully well that their borders are well protected, and the Nigerian state is secured, Dr.Tunji-Ojo assured. (Press Release)

The Minister disclosed in a recent Television Interview that : NO KOBO WAS INVESTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - IT WAS A PURELY PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE!

Maybe Tinubu would re-gig his cabinet again and remove all the Lagos analogue aides and substitute them for ICT EGG HEADS AND CEREBRALS TO SUPPORT HIM PREPARE MODALITIES FOR THE UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH REFERENDUM AS DEMANDED BY THE CITIZENS AND THE PATRIOTS!

It's not too late to pursue the right tracks!

[EXPECT A PRIME MINISTER IN NIGERIA NOW!]
