By Jeffrey Agbo
Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, has described President Bola Tinubu’s administration as one which took off in turbulent weather.
Speaking to a News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) delegation, led by its Managing Director, Ali Ali, on Wednesday, Akume assured the president would land Nigeria safely.
The aim of the visit was to brief Akume on the forthcoming inaugural Annual International Lecture by NAN on Oct. 3.
The theme of the lecture is ‘Insecurity in the Sahel (2008-2024): Dissecting Nigeria’s Challenges—Genesis, Impacts and Options’.
“Tinubu’s government is like a plane that takes off in turbulent weather, but when a plane takes off in turbulent weather, it’s not easy to control,” he said.
“But when you have a pilot who is very skillful, he knows where he is going, he knows there’s a problem but the problem is his landing, yes he will land us safely that’s why he is a veteran captain.”

While describing NAN’s forthcoming lecture as a ‘wonderful initiative’, Akume said the media has critical role to play in disseminating information on government’s policies and programmes to the public.
“This is a very wonderful initiative. There is no way you can do any meaningful and purposeful summit and conference in this country now without having a very rich content of security.
“And for those of you in the Media, you have a critical role to play and that’s why your forthcoming lecture is one of these roles you are playing to disseminate this information through such initiative about government’s policy,” he said.
The SGF explained that security architecture had been redesigned by the present administration, adding that things have started picking up gradually in the country.
Speaking earlier, Ali lauded Akume for the achievements recorded by his office since the inception of Tinubu’s administration.
Ali said that the lecture was imperative looking at Nigeria’s state of insecurity and NAN’s position of disseminating news wider across the international level.
