The presidency noted that the former Lagos state governor will not hesitate to fire any minister who underperforms in the ministry assigned, adding that failure on the minister's part is a failure on Tinubu's part.

Which of Buhari's legacy will Tinubu not sustain?

Tinubu has disclosed that his administration would not sustain the culture of the "failed economic theory" in which 90 per cent of the scarce revenue is used to service the external debt. At the same time, the country is faced with many development challenges.

The president said this in Abuja on Sunday, August 27, where he declared open the annual conference of the Nigerian Bar Association at the Velodrome, Chief MKO Abiola Stadium.

Tinubu said Nigeria needs the focused cooperation of the private sector leaders, adding that many of them were at the event, where he presented the opening ceremony.
