The Frontiers for Accountability and Democracy Development (FADD), a conglomerate of different civil society organizations, has commended the commitment of some ministers in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet in delivering his ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda.
The conglomerate includes Unified Nigerian Youth Forum; Northern Youth Council of Nigeria; Arewa Youth Parliament; Guardians of Democracy and Development; Arewa Youth Forum; Unemployed Youth Vanguard; and Arewa Youth Peace Forum of Nigeria.
Convener of the coalition, Abdulsalam Kazeem, at a press conference in Abuja on Saturday particularly lauded the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike; the Minister of State for Defence, Mohammed Bello Matawalle; the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, among others, for their efforts in delivering the president’s agenda through their various ministries.
Kazeem said in the area of security, Matawalle has given the needed leadership and support to the Nigerian Armed Forces which enabled them to embark on a well coordinated operation that has led to the elimination of numerous terrorists and destruction of their infrastructures.

“Notable bandit leaders have been eliminated in these operations leading to a significant decrease in the menace of banditry. Matawalle’s firm leadership has reverberated across the entire length and breadth of the nation resulting in the restoration of peace in the troubled Niger Delta which has helped strengthen Nigeria’s economy with an increase in crude oil production,” he said.
On the part of Wike, the group said he has “embarked on a binge of infrastructural projects across the city centre and even satellite towns of the Federal Capital Territory. Residents of Abuja attest to the fact that the magnitude, quality and swiftness in execution of these projects have never been witnessed in the history of the FCT.”
The coalition also commended Tunji-Ojo’s for his innovation in the Interior Ministry especially, “the swift clearance of staggering 204,332 passports backlog by the Nigeria Immigration Service in just three weeks,” among others.
