Our president is committed fully to turning the tide in this country. Mamman speaking of the expectation of the Tinubu led administration I work like a bricklayer. How does a bricklayer work? Every day he goes to the site, the foreman gives him 100, 200 blocks to lay for that day. By the end of the day, he wants to see the building come up to a certain level. So in three months, six months, the house is built…We have to measure. We shall be working with KPIs. Mamman speaking of the expectation of the Tinubu led administration We have to work together. I will emphasise this. I never carry any work on my head. If you have a duty, you have duties. Sometimes you can help your neighbour, your colleague, it’s a good thing to do. Mamman speaking of the expectation of the Tinubu led administration We know how critical the ministry is. It is the ministry that produces lawyers, doctors, engineers and others. If we are able to get things right, it will be for our betterment. Well, I don’t want to go into the issue of figures, whether it’s 10.2 or less or more, but the fact is that we have millions of Nigerians who are supposed to be in school and who are not in school at this point in time and we are addressing that. We have four anchor pillars we have come up with.
