Top 12 Performing Ministers in Tinubu’s Administration

As it is said in local parlance, “jungle don dey mature, and it is now the survival of the fittest.” Even though President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has four years to implement his Renewed Hope agenda, he told his Ministers ab initio that they won’t have the luxury of time and space before he starts asking questions about their performance and doing the needful for the ones who have no business in the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

While swearing in the Ministers last year, President Tinubu said that Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) would be deployed to assess their impact, adding that Nigerians expect so much from them and can’t afford to fail. The President didn’t hesitate to state that on behalf of Nigerians, he would have to wield the big stick when necessary.

The last eight months have been very tough on Nigerians as they have to endure the consequences of the President’s choices in fuel subsidy removal and floatation of the Naira.

Amid the hardship Nigerians are going through, the Economic Confidential team observes that some cabinet members maintain undignified silence as if they don’t owe the people any form of accountability.

Meanwhile, some Ministers have shown competence and capacity in their respective duties. Beyond their pragmatic initiatives and impactful programmes, the performing ministers also deploy effective media relations and strategic stakeholder engagements to help douse tension and calm frayed nerves.

Therefore, in this special report, Economic Confidential lists the top 12 performers whose efforts and accomplishments as Ministers are not hidden. They also use appropriate media channels to project, promote and defend the Tinubu’s administration.

1. Nyesom Wike, Minister of Federal Capital Territory

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike

Rather than executing new projects, the Minister mobilised and instructed contractors to complete ongoing projects, especially road, rail and township projects or face sanctions.

Prioritising security measures and revenue generation to safeguard residents and fund infrastructural development within the FCT, Wike is also restoring the original Abuja master plan and tackling insecurity by getting rid of illegal structures.

Concerned over corrupt practices and poor handling of projects, the Minister read the riot act to contractors on timely delivery and threatened to punish defaulters.

Besides ensuring road contractors meet the required standard within the stipulated periods, David Umahi formed a team of retired military and security personnel to protect and secure construction sites from criminals. This was to tackle incessant complaints by contractors about the safety of their workers and equipment at the sites.

Similarly, he introduced concrete road technology over asphalt in most carriageways and continuous maintenance because concrete offers superior durability, requires less maintenance and leads to long-term cost savings. According to him, concrete produces less environmental pollution, and cars run more efficiently on the surface.
