Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday, swore in Professor
Stephen Ocheni (Kogi) and Alhaji Suleiman Hassan (Gombe) as Ministers.
Osinbajo affirmed that Ocheni and Hassan, by their antecedents, are
evidently capable of playing their part to turn the country around.
He stated that the new Ministers were key to the administration’s
economic reform programme, as well as the fights against insecurity and
corruption.
“On the anti corruption fight, we are focused, we believe that the
primary thing is for those of us who have the privilege of serving to
ensure that by our own points and actions we support the anti-corruption
fight and also that our conducts will be exemplary so that we will
show, by practice not just by words, that we are determined to ensure
that this country is run by a good government.
“And where there is honesty and integrity, service will be delivered.
Even as I welcome you to this cabinet, I congratulate friends and
family who are here and I can only say going by your antecedence as
contained in your resumes read out, it is evident that you are deserving
of positions held in the Federal Republic of Nigeria and that you are
capable of rendering all the task that will be given to you.
“The only reward is more hard work and I wish you the best as
minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We welcome you to the
Federal Executive Council where you have just been sworn in from being
ministerial nominees, to ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The portfolios will be announced shortly. From this moment they will
join the Federal Executive Council and will sit in our meeting this
morning. So, Prof. and Alhaji, you will not have time to celebrate much
this morning. You will have full meeting today,” Osinbajo said.
