The newly-appointed Secretary to
the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, on Tuesday stated that
Nigerians expected so much from the current administration led by Muhammadu
Buahri.
According to him, since they
freely gave the administration their mandate, government officials must ensure
they did not disappoint Nigerians.
Mustapha, who was appointed on
Monday as a replacement for Mr. Babachir Lawal, said this in an interview with
State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said, “We went round and
campaigned and sought for their (Nigerians’) mandate; freely they gave us and
it behoves on us charged with responsibilities to ensure that we do not
disappoint them.
“The expectations are great out
there. You live with families and you know the expectations of families. You
live in communities, you know the expectations of those communities. You live
in geographical jurisdictions and you know the expectations of those people.
“But we have come at a time when
the resources are very very lean, in some cases not available but I believe
with prudent management as being put in place by Mr. President, we will be able
to navigate this very difficult terrain and at the end of the day, every
Nigerian will have a smile on his face.”
Mustapha said although the
present administration was not promising Nigerians heaven on earth, it could
move them from “the current state of squalour in which they were, to a state
where there would be hope and expectations.”
The new SGF said he would wait to
take his oath of office before disclosing what Nigerians should expect from
him.
