Ex-Minister Gives Scorecard, Insists She Has No Regret Over Her Performance

Former Minister of Women Affairs, Uju-Ken Ohanenye has given the scorecard of her tenure in charge of the ministry.

This is even as she disclosed that she has no regrets over some actions she took as minister.

The Matrix reports President Bola Tinubu on October 23, 2024 fired Ohanenye alongside four other ministers at the time – Lola Ade-John (Tourism), Jamila Bio Ibrahim (Youth Development), Tahir Mamman (Education) and Abdullahi Muhammad Gwarzo (Housing and Urban Development).

Two months later, she weighed in on some issues regarding her stay in office while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Christmas Day.

“I have a responsibility given to me to man that place and make sure things go right. I wouldn’t have tolerated anybody trying to rubbish deceit given to me,” she said on .

“There must be an impact on people. I’m glad that I didn’t give such chance and I have no regret in the way I did my job. That was the highest way I would have done that.”

During the interview, she spoke on some donations on October 15 made by many Nigerians to help some vulnerable Nigerians.

According to her, she was sacked as minister two weeks after the ministry raked in over N200 million.

“The programmes I initiated like the mobile courts, going to rescue small girls hawking on the streets, I did not have money for that because it wasn’t part of what was budgeted for.

“When I called on Nigerians, I was so surprised a lot of them gathered at the villa and donated money to this effect. They were very happy to support it.

Unfortunately, not up to two weeks after the donations, I was sacked. When that happened, there was no way I could use that money. I asked the secretary in charge to write to the bank to do a reversal of the funds,” she added.
