Taking their oaths of office at the State House in Abuja on Monday, the ministers wasted no time in assuming their responsibilities following the inauguration of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) by President Tinubu. Notably, Wike assumed the role of Minister for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
In a statement shared on his official Facebook page, Senator Magnus Abe expressed his optimism in the abilities of the newly inaugurated ministers. He emphasized that they are fortunate to serve under the guidance of a capable leader who possesses the skills to provide clear direction, allocate adequate resources, and set precise targets.
Abe’s statement reads: “Nigeria is facing serious economic, security and social challenges, however, we should all recognise that a time of great challenges is also a time of great opportunities.
“It is therefore, a unique opportunity for this team of eminent Nigerians to write their names in gold by joining hands with President Tinubu to return our country to the path of unity and prosperity.
“I have no doubt that you will all do well as you are opportune to serve with an outstanding leader who is known for his ability to provide clear direction, sufficient resources and precise targets that none can afford to miss.
“His leadership and tenacity will enable you all to succeed and emerge with flying colours.
“I particularly congratulate His Excellency, Nyesom Wike and an adopted son of the State, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN. I wish you both well in your new assignment and assure you and all other members of the incoming cabinet of my prayers and goodwill at all times.
“Nigerians of all political, religious, and tribal persuasions are depending on you all and you cannot afford to fail.“I urge all Nigerians, particularly the political class to give maximum support and cooperation to this administration for the sake of our country.”
