The three-day 2026 Sectoral Retreat of the Ministry of Interior was brought to a successful close today with the signing of the 2026 Performance Contract Bonds between the Honourable Minister and the Chief Executive Officers of the Ministry’s agencies.
The signing ceremony marked the climax of the intensive retreat, which focused on reviewing progress, strengthening institutional performance, and aligning the Ministry’s strategic priorities with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
These are living proof that focused leadership, cutting-edge technology, and unbreakable teamwork are delivering tangible, life-changing results for every Nigerian.
Today, we didn’t just talk, we acted. I personally signed the 2026 Performance Contract Bonds with our agency CEOs, a sacred pact of accountability, measurable impact, and an unbreakable commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda.
With these bonds now sealed, the momentum only accelerates from here!
