Era of talkshots is over, “we must try to work the talk”, Tunji-Ojo tells appointees
The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo,says the era of talk shots is over, adding that ”appointees must try to work the talk”.
Tunji-Ojo made this known while delivering a keynote address at a breakfast meeting as a special guest, organised by Business Day in Abuja.
”I have no excuse whatsoever not to secure the nation’s borders. President Bola Tinubu to solve problems.
”We must walk the talk as we commit to the present administration’s slogan of renewed hope,", he said.
Tunji-Ojo added that any nation that cannot secure its borders, its military, police, and other security personnel will always be under pressure, stating further that the ability to control your borders reduces insecurity by more than 70 percent. He contended that the Ministry of Interior is very integral to any nation, adding, "Beyond passport issuance, he would not want to be remembered as the Minister who solves passport problems because there are bigger things to solve”.
Tunji-Ojo stated, "Also, any country that cannot critically analyse, dictate, and determine who comes in and who goes out of its country is prone to insecurity.”
He said Nigeria shares borders with Cameroon, Niger, Chad, and the Benin Republic, spanning over 450,050km, both by land and coastal areas.
