Nigeria’s Interior Minister, Hon Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has earned applause from Nigerians over his highlighted seven promises that would transform the Ministry of Interior and its agencies.
Highlighting the promises, a prominent blog, Instablog listed the minister’s agenda with many reacting to his proactive agenda.

The seven key promises are, “a.) Development of technology to enhance border security; b.) Removal of bottlenecks in the acquisition of passports and other immigration documents; c.) Tackling insecurity and effective protection of critical national assets and infrastructures; and d.) Ensuring the timely passage of the New Fire Act.

Other promises are, e.) Correctional service reforms (Reformation and re-integration of inmates and decongestion of correctional centers in line with AGJS and so on); f.) Improved emergency and fire response time and g.) Provision of quality leadership for the timely actualization of the mandates of the Ministry of Interior in line with the Renewed Hope agenda.”

Explaining his thinking behind the promises, the minister talked about the harmonisation of national identity using the SPOC mechanism, “We will ensure there is a single point of contact (SPOC), which is complete integration, harmonisation and management of national identity as a major means of crime mitigation, control, and national development,” Tunji-Ojo said.

Reacting to the promises, Bifixit technology_ng said, “We know him (Tunji-Ojo), he is Mr. less talk, more action. He is tech savvy and he’s bringing on board a rich background in tech that will drive innovation in the Ministry of Interior, the renewed hope is here” he concludes.

Similarly, saniabraham854 noted “Congratulations to minister and ministry of interior. The long-awaited transformation has finally arrived. A true leader per excellence.

For Olasunkanmimii “Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo is a class act, If you want to know how well he keeps his promises, go to Akoko in Ondo state and ask about him, he is innovative, intelligent, smart, and a good leader.”

Mona_lisa_perry noted that “Honorable Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo’s achievements are veritable, he has invested in the education of young children, empowered women, delivered standard infrastructural amenities like roads, transformers, solar power, boreholes for his constituent, and as a chairman House committee on NDDC, he executed NDDC HQ from start to finish, putting to stop yearly renting of apartments by the commission.”

While Celebmgbah argued, “I understand you as a goal-getter and previous feats speak for you, I’m looking forward to the rehabilitation plans for our correctional facilities nationwide.”

“It’s said that a prophet has no regard in his own home but they missed the memo in Akoko, Ondo State, where this son of the soil is revered for his humility and dedication to bringing smiles to the faces of average citizens,” Ojokolax wrote.

Chronicle NG reports that Tunji-Ojo is one of the 45 ministers appointed by President Bola Tinubu and approved by the senate.

This looks promising. I think most of the ministers have started with good footings... But there is serious work to be done. PBAT success is their success.

Honorable Tunji Ojo is an incredible man. His dedication to national service over the years is remarkable, we need more politicians like him.

Let me properly congratulate you for a job well-done in NDDC, IT sector and of course in Akoko too. You're a great role model to the youngster in Nigeria, your tenacity and commitment to the development of this country won't go unnoticed. A New baton has been passed to you and I pray God will help you deliver in accordance to your promises to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I believe in you and I wish you all the best in your office.

Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo is a reformer, I'm confident he will do pretty well as minister.

I believe in Honourable Minister BTO and I trust he will do a good job 👏

This proves that Honourable Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo is set to ensure a positive transformation in the Ministry of Interior. We love to see it

This man is ready for the job, Weldon sir

I have confident on Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo. He will do very great as our minister.

Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo is a man of intelligent and determination. He will deliver.

The best man to hold the forte at the Ministry of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo as the Minister Of Interior.

The change we shall witness in the coming days will be unprecedented as such is rare in the annals of our national history.

The wind of change, transformation, accountability, creativity and innovation has come to the Ministry of Interior.

Nigerians both home and diaspora shall be proud of their country once more as was the case in the first republic.

Honourable Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Mr. Innovator, Mr. Capable is here to make us proud.

The Minister's seven point agenda reflects a positive response the challenges facing our paramilitaries and what need to be done, so kudos to him for clearly stating his mission order

If in 6months you cannot eradicate the corruption, extortionism, and job racketeering that exist in the government agencies under the ministry of interior, then there is no hope renewed, and you must be fired immediately if you cannot be honourable enough to resign.


There is no time to entertain failures.

If we are to blame Buhari for the many inefficiencies that continued into his own regime, the bulk of that blame should be place on his Ministers that failed to drive his anticorruption mantra into the corrupt hearts of the rank and file of the ministries and agencies/departments under them.

It is time for Nigeria to see visible change in our government operations and how the government agents interact and interface with the citizenry.

His agenda has brought about hope because he's passionate and enthusiastic about making a difference so we'll be praying and hoping that he achieve the stated policies for the betterment of the Nation

A tech savvy bringing on board a rich background in tech that will drive innovation in the Ministry of Interior

I have confident on Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo. He will do very great as our minister.

We will judge him in 6months.

Evidence go plenty for streets.

Na Immigration Service we go 1st use see if his agenda managed to "agend".

Any minister who cannot sanitize his Ministry and the agencies under it, should be kicked out after 6months.

If you cannot turn around decadence and failure, you cannot renew anything.

We've always had this as hope for a long time, every government official does it, so please be talk and do, not fill us all up with promises that might never be fulfilled.

Hon Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo is a man that is capable to deliver the job. A very intelligent man and a good leader.

Honorable Tunji Ojo has a wonderful personality. His Outstanding Records and many more. we need more politicians like him.

What a fantabulous 7 Points Agenda to shake up a lockjam and ineffective Ministry Of Interior into a super power house Ministry for the management of effective and efficient Home Affairs Administration.

May God bless and guide the young Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo as he embarks on this humongous national assignment.

May God continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The words have been spoken, what is left is the doing. If we are to infer based on past antecedents, the Minister of Interior is one with whom you can go to bed with both eyes closed once he's set his mind to a thing.

He is more than competent. He'll deliver, I'm sure. Base don track records

Continue your good work man of the people. God will help you in all your doing Sir

A diligent and hardworking man who talks less but keeps all his promises

We wish to appreciate Mr President Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the opportunity of service.
“We will do all that we can, all that is within our capacity, to ensure that we do not disappoint him, in terms of the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda”.~ Hon Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo

Hmmmmm. Really?

Good on paper but bureaucracy and political willingness may make those ideas a pipe dream.

He is an excellent leader. One that is competent. He is a true example of the saying "Action speaks louder than voice". Congratulations sir!

Great start

Aregbesola said more than this.

This is a good and progressive appointment and Positioning, there will be a new development and ideas of system as we have a young and proactive personality Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-ojo take on the ministry of Interior for a global appraisal work
