Mr Bayo Onanuga is Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy. Before his appointment into the position, Onanuga was involved in the Tinubu/Shettima campaign.

•Descends heavily on Buhari’s critics calls them ‘uncharitable’• Admits on economy: Things have not gone the way we wantedMr Bayo Onanuga is Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy. Before his appointment into the position, Onanuga was involved in the Tinubu/Shettima campaign. He was also at different times the Managing Director of News Agency of Nigeria and the chief helmsman of The News magazine.
The panel to oversee the implementation was constituted in October last year. Procurement didn’t even begin until February 2024. In fact the president had to call top civil servants to a meeting in the Villa here to warn them not to constitute a cog in his wheel of progress. But as I said, the bigger picture to look at is that what this government has been doing, and what it actually intends to do, is to reset this economy, to really put it on a sustainable path of development and growth.
Of course yes. I was at the ministerial briefing yesterday when the Minister of Defence came. Even from the report card of the National Security Adviser, things have improved. We still have isolated cases, a lot of isolated cases. When security breaches happen in a remote area of Kaduna, those spaces ungoverned by our security agencies, the media will present it in a way as if the entire country is under attack.
I don’t see any contradiction there. If you look at the portfolios of those ministers, what the president wants is for the ministers to do their work more intensely than before. For example, let’s take the Youth Ministry. There are so many things to do in youth development. NYSC is there. The demography today shows we have more youths than those of us who are in our 60s or 50s. Our population is now dominated by youths. So, there are so many things to do.
And as I’m speaking to you, the Inspector General of Police, when he spoke at the ministerial press briefing on Friday, said the man has been bailed. You see, journalists should not think they cannot be arrested. If a journalist has done something wrong, or is being investigated, he should not just shun the police. If the police call him, he should go there. They are not going to eat him alive. Hire a lawyer, state your own side of the case and, and that is it.
This government is not talking about 2027. This government is busy about implementing the mandate it got from Nigerians. It’s only the opposition who are already ganging up and talking about 2027. I believe that it’s irresponsible on their part. What the president has done all these 12 months is to focus on governance. He’s not thinking about 2027.
