Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on Friday said his recognition at the Vanguard Awards is not a destination but a call to greater service.

Tunji-Ojo, who was named Personality of the Year at the event held at Eko Hotels and Suites, stated that his ministry would intensify efforts to fully implement President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda within the Ministry of Interior.

He expressed appreciation to the President for the opportunity to serve, noting that the administration had created an enabling environment for innovation and performance.

“This award is not just for our performance, but also for Mr President’s leadership, encouragement, and the platform he has provided for us to innovate,” he said.

Describing the recognition as motivation to do more, the minister assured that the ministry would continue to deepen reforms and deliver on its mandate.

“This award is not a destination; it is a work in progress and an invitation to do more. We will continue to ensure that the Renewed Hope Agenda is firmly established in the Ministry of Interior,” he added.

Meanwhile, former Anambra State governor, Jim Nwobodo, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award, expressed gratitude to the organisers.

Nwobodo said he was honoured to be recognised even out of office, describing the gesture as uncommon.

“You honoured me even out of office, which is rare. I believe that being straightforward, truthful, and committed to doing the right thing ultimately brings reward. I sincerely thank Vanguard for this honour,” he said.
