The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo who sounded the warning, said the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu predisposes that it would not be business as usual in all aspects of our national development
The Federal Government has warned that proven cases of sabotage of its efforts would not go unpunished.
The government said it was prepared to take big decisions against sabotage.
The government maintained that it would go ahead with its ongoing reforms in various departments and agencies for the growth and development of the country.
The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo who sounded the warning, said the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu predisposes that it would not be business as usual in all aspects of our national development.
Tunji-Ojo spoke shortly after the decoration of Mrs Kemi Nanna Nandap as the 19th Substantive Comptroller General (CG) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Ministry of Interior, Abuja.
Tunji-Ojo said: “You have held command positions across the country, and that means you are conversant with the issues. Please, we believe in you. The president believes in you.
“On Tuesday, Mr specially recognised you and gave you a presidential handshake, therefore, to whom much is given, much is expected. I want you to also be a team player. This is not the time to remember the ills of anyone.
“We will judge you on how well you protect our borders. In the security of Nigeria, the NIS has a great role to play in the security architecture of the country. Please, be creative. Be innovative. Bring your certificates and training to bear on your job”.
Tunji-Ojo who urged officers and men of the service to cooperate with their new boss to enable her to sustain the ongoing reforms in the Service, warned that the present administration would not hesitate to wedge the big stick anywhere there are proven cases of sabotage.
“And to the ACGs and other officers, I have said it: I will tolerate everything but indiscipline. I don’t threaten, but I will say what I will do. I want to plead with you to cooperate with her. If you think you want to sabotage her, you are sabotaging the president. You are sabotaging the sovereignty of Nigeria, and as Minister of Interior, I will not shy away from taking big decisions. It is no longer business as usual,” the Minister asserted.
