Leadership is indeed a huge responsibility, however will not fail to accord a Kudo to the Acting President and his technical team, newly appointed with a reminder of the status quo. They can achieve more with togetherness and that sabotage is a killer disease.
That focus should be given to all the sea ports, private sector, SME’s, as much attention is on agriculture already. And more also a follow up on the immediate past administration concluded national confab to discourage wastage of resources.
God Almighty will support, keep, fight for you, and help you and team to finish well and strong.
“Compliments our president…?” If our president had made this appointment, almost all the appointees would have been drawn from one area of the country.

What can I say? Our informed Acting President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo’s appointees are all worthy of serving on the board of the Nigerian Industrial Policy and Competitiveness Advisory Council. Prof Osinbajo truly complements our President, Mr. Muhammadu Buhari.
