[NEWS] PRESIDENTIAL RETREAT

A TWO DAY PRESIDENTIAL RETREAT FOR MINISTERS AND OTHER PRESIDENTIAL AIDES HAS OPENED IN ABUJA TO PREPARE THEM AHEAD OF THEIR SWEARING IN.

ADDRESSING THE MINISTERS, THE PRESIDENT SAID THE COUNTRY AND THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD RELY ON THEM TO IMPLEMENT POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES TO LIFT NIGERIANS OUT OF POVERTY.

HE ADDED “WE MUST WORK AS A TEAM. WORKING AS A TEAM DEMANDS THAT WE KNOW WHAT THE NEXT PERSON IS DOING. YOU MUST OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES. LACK OF COMMUNICATION LEADS TO LACK OF COOPERATION AND SUB-OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE.

“WE ARE WORKING TO LIFT NIGERIANS OUT OF POVERTY AND SET THEM ON THE PATH TO PROSPERITY. WE INTEND TO LIFT 100 MILLION NIGERIANS OUT OF POVERTY OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.” END OF QUOTE
