Politics Everything New SGF, Boss Mustapha, Said After Meeting With Buhari in Abuja

The newly-appointed Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, on Tuesday had a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja. 

Emerging from the meeting, he told newsmen that he will work to ensure more cooperation between government ministries and departments.

“Nigeria is not in lack of information and policy formulation, sometimes it is the synergy of those policies for the purposes of attending the goal that has been lacking,” he said.

“I think those are some of the things that I am going to bring to the office. There must be coordination, there must be synergy so that we can have a thrust that can move us forward,” he said.

He said he found Mr. Buhari in high spirit adding that the president’s return to good health is a miracle.

“The President in his normal candour and humour ‎just cracked jokes and he was in very high spirit.

“I was pleasantly gladdened in my heart when I saw how robust and how uplifting he is in his spirit and in spite of the enormity of the fact that he has to deal with navigating the affairs of this nation.

“But he looked in-charge, quiet, calm and calculated, and the beauty about it is that his recovery process has been very very remarkable, it is just a miracle and I just want to thank God for that,” he said.

When quizzed on what he will do differently, he said:

“Well, I will wait until the oath of office is administered on me. Once that is done, I’ll now begin to take briefings from the office and begin to chart a roadmap.

“It is always not too fashionable to begin to talk about an office you have never occupied. That will be being too presumptuous and I wouldn’t want to do that at the moment.

“I will want to step into the office first. But I have a general picture of where we should be going,”
