A group known as The Credible Leadership and Ethical Orientation Initiative, led by its founder Ochoja Obam, has expressed concerns about the current state of governance within key institutions that are crucial to the success of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

In a statement sent to journalists on Sunday, the group called the attention of the president to some happenings within some federal government agencies.

Part of the statement read: ”Our organization has identified severe lapses and unscrupulous activities within the Raw Materials Research Development Council (RMRDC), which are undermining the President’s vision for real sector development.

”The term “kakistocracy,” defined as governance by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens, aptly describes the troubling situation at the RMRDC.

”Professor Martin Ike-Muonso, the Director-General of the RMRDC and technical adviser to the Honorable Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, has been embroiled in numerous allegations that question his qualifications and the legality of his appointment.

”This issue has drawn the attention of the National Assembly, resulting in the formation of an investigative to examine the qualifications and appropriateness of appointees in key agencies under the Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology, including the RMRDC, the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), and the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN).

”Disturbingly, neither the Honorable Minister nor the Director Generals honored the investigative ’s invitations, raising serious concerns about ability and the protective forces at play.”

The organization added that it has obtained a document from a civil society group highlighting reckless procurement practices under Professor Ike-Muonso’s leadership.


It said the document, directed to the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), and the EFCC, calls for urgent intervention to address the flagrant disregard for the Public Procurement Act, 2007, and Financial Regulations, 2009, in awarding contracts worth approximately N92,555,462.50.

The group added: ”Key irregularities include the absence of procurement planning or meetings of the Procurement Planning Committee (PPC), the absence of tenders board meetings and budgetary provisions for the contracts in the 2023/2024 budget, the failure to obtain the required “No Objection to Contract Award” from the Bureau of Public Procurement, the lack of ments or publications in the Tenders Journal for competitive bidding, and full payments authorized and made to contractors despite incomplete jobs.


”Specific breaches of the Public Procurement Act and Financial Regulations identified include non-adherence to procurement plans, budgetary appropriations, and competitive bidding procedures, unauthorized payments for unperformed services and unsupplied goods, and istrative discrepancies in proposal receipt and contract approval dates, indicating procedural violations.”

The group also called for a thorough investigation by the National Assembly, Bureau of Public Procurement, and the EFCC into the allegations.

”It is imperative to restore the integrity of the RMRDC and ensure it aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for real sector development.

”We emphasize the need for transparency, ability, and adherence to the rule of law in our institutions. The success of our nation depends on ethical governance and the unwavering commitment to justice,” the statement added.

Disastrous man. The drug master has nothing to offer Nigerians.

Stop the blame game! Tinubu didn't have a plan. If he's too old to be in charge of this government, he should quit.

Is that one also an English word? Kakistocrats

May be the government should have practiced leatherstocrats.

Abi if no be Khaki, it go be leather

That's the kind of challenges that come with leading a country. Oppositions, haters and those who are not ready to accept the election results would always find fault in every good thing you do. But that won't stop a good leader from pushing through the challenges and delivering on the promises made to the people. This is what leadership is all about.

..another Banger from APCshit..

He came with a restructuring plan.

This will go along way to help the deteriorating state of this country.

By the time he succeeds with the regional government... The Boko Haram in the North will have to stop as that will keep them in a complete mess..

It's a gradual process and the north wants to do everything to stop it.

They never protested during the hardship of Buhari and his stupid policy of shutting down borders and foods from neighbouring countries into Nigeria. We ensured all the suffering and now they want to complain? What a hypocritical protest is that?

Tinubu’s vision for Nigeria is commendable, and it’s crucial we his agenda. The challenges faced are temporary, and with perseverance, positive change will surely come.

Chill take back sit

I don't pity Dangote at all

God help the country from saboteurs in the coming days. People are frustrated and hungry

The name Tinubu and hope should never be in the same sentence. ;
Nigerians are in a distressed state.
The feeling of betrayal,disappointment and dissatisfaction have consumed even the most die hard amoung Tinubu's ers.
It has became evident that there's no hope in sight, yet some want to pretend like goats.
We have decided not to refrain from immediate confrontation and allow Tinubu run our country to the ground

Does Tinubu look like someone who can conceive a vision to you?

Tinubu has dashed the little hope that the youths had in Nigeria..
Everyone now see Nigeria as a failed nation

Is this an excuse for a failure or what

There's no excuse for failure

Was it not the same tinubu that that talked about hitting the ground running now it seems the ground is running his government

You see all those cabal and demons when full aso rock. You days are numbered. Tinubu hear me. Me I dey your back kampe, just dey break the Carmels back

Honorably quit just like President Joe Biden just did. Nation should be held high and respected than any of your personal achievements.

He is continuing Buhari and APC’s destruction of our country, which is what he has done for Lagosians for over two decades.

Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.
