Keyamo urges support for improved aviation ministry performance

Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has issued a stern warning to chief executives within his ministry, emphasizing the imperative of achieving 100% performance. He also sought the support of industry stakeholders to secure his position.

Keyamo made this announcement during a one-day stakeholders’ meeting held in Lagos. He stressed that concerted efforts are necessary to prevent potential dismissal by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“We recently had a three-day retreat with Mr. President, where all ministers were in attendance. During this retreat, we signed performance bonds. I personally signed my performance bond yesterday. To ensure I’m not removed from my position in the next few months, your support is crucial.”

“In this situation, it’s a matter of either I get dismissed, or they do. It’s a race to see who will come out on top. I’ve conveyed this message to all my Chief Executive Officers (CEOs): someone may face dismissal first, but before I am dismissed, I will make sure some changes occur.”

These comments followed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s signing of performance bonds with ministers during a three-day cabinet retreat in Abuja.
