The Federal Government has formed a 28-member inter-ministerial committee to organise and oversee activities marking President Bola Tinubu’s first year in office.
While inaugurating the committee in his office, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, emphasised the importance of the celebration in showcasing the administration’s achievements and commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda.
On March 1, 2023, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared Tinubu winner of the 2023 presidential election.
He was declared president-elect after he polled 8,794,726 votes to defeat his opponents.
Tinubu was sworn in on May 29, 2023.
In a statement signed by the Director, Information and Public Relations, Segun Imohiosen, on Friday, Akume was quoted as saying,”The essence of this celebration is to render accountability to Nigerians by promoting the accomplishments of the present administration over the past year and also reassure our citizens that the government shall remain focused and committed to the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda for a positive impact on the socio-economic life of Nigerians”.
According to the statement, the activities include press briefings, sectoral updates, the First Lady’s programme, national discourse, the launch of the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund, and a national broadcast, among others.
To ensure smooth execution, 11 sub-committees have been established, covering various aspects such as security, media, protocol, and accommodation.
“In order to ensure the successful and hitch-free execution of the celebration, the SGF inaugurated the following 11 Sub-Committees: Church Service Sub-Committee; Juma’at Sub-Committee; Protocol Sub-Committee; Venue and Entertainment Sub-Committee; Medical Sub-Committee; Security Sub-Committee; Media and Publicity Sub-Committee; Parade Sub-Committee; Public Lecture/Symposium Sub-Committee; Accommodation Sub-Committee; and Secretariat Sub-Committee,” Imohiosen noted.
Chaired by the SGF, the committee includes key government officials and heads of relevant ministries.
Their mandate is to plan and implement the approved activities and engage any necessary stakeholders for the success of the anniversary celebration.
