“The adoption of such policy by one of the country founding father, Lee kua Yew, partly led to the transformation of the country from third world to country first world nation. This, I am confident is attainable through our mandate under the Next Level Agenda of President Muhamadu Buhari.”

It is on this basis, that I am particularly delighted to see you re-appointed into ministry in order for you to consolidate on your achievements.”
