Acting President Yemi Osinbajo Wednesday inaugurated two new ministers, Stephen Ocheni from Kogi and Suleiman Hassan from Gombe states.
The brief ceremony took place before the start of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.
He charged them to exhibit exemplary conduct as well as support the fight against corruption.
According to Osinbajo, “The federal executive council is one that is committed to the very far reaching and reform Programme of this government.
“That reform Programme is contained in our Economic Recovery and Road Plan. We have focus our attention on key areas of that economic recovery plan and we believe those key areas are things that need to be done to make a difference in the Nigerian economy and in the lives of Nigerians.
“Of course you know that aside from the economy we have two key areas highlighted by the president during the course of the campaigns and have become center pieces of our administration Programme – security and the anti-corruption fight.
“We expect that members of the federal executive council will focus on these key areas as well. We have of course made tremendous progress in security, we have issues and challenges here and there but there are compared to where we are coming from very minor indeed and we are tackling them on a day by day basis.
“On the anti corruption fight, we are focused we believe that the primary thing is for those of us who have the privilege of serving to ensure that by our own point and actions we support the anti corruption fight and also that our conducts will be exemplary so that we will show by practice not just by words that we are determined to ensure that this country is run by a good government. And where there is honesty and integrity service will be delivered,” he said.
