”This is why I am using this occasion to appeal to you to ensure industrial peace and harmony, so as to provide the enabling environment for the efforts of the government to yield fruits. Without industrial peace, there can be no progress,” Mohammed said in a statement by issued by his aide, Segun Adeyemi.

”In this era of change, we expect efficiency, punctuality, high level of discipline and total dedication to duty. Nothing less will do. On our part, we will continue to meet our obligations to you, within the limits of available resources, because we believe that you possess what it takes to change our country for the better,” the Minister declared.

Alhaji Mohammed described the Ministry of Information and Culture as the ”lead Ministry” in driving the change agenda of the Buhari Administration, ”because of our strategic role of communicating the activities of the government to the people and vice versa.

”But in order to be able to drive change, we must first believe in it, own it and live it. This is because what you don’t have, you can’t give.”

The Minister told members of staff that his doors were open and that he was willing to work with them to make the country great.
