Governor Samuel Ortom has congratulated the minister of special duties and intergovernmental affairs, Senator George Akume over his appointment and subsequent inauguration.
In a letter to the minister, Governor Ortom expressed confidence in the ability of Senator Akume to use his wealth of experience in public service to bear on the discharge of his duties.
“As an illustrious son of Benue, I wish to identify with you, and I am optimistic that your new appointment will open a new vista of greater service for the development of our dear state and the nation in general,” the letter read.
The governor also prayed God to grant Senator Akume good health and wisdom to effectively pioneer affairs of the ministry.
Similarly, Oyo state governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has congratulated the newly-appointed minister of youth and sports, Mr. Sunday Dare, charging him to bring his wealth of experience to bear in transforming and repositioning the ministry.
Governor Makinde urged the Ogbomoso-born minister to be a good ambassador of Oyo state and to showcase the pacesetter qualities of the state in the new position.
The governor, in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, maintained that the government of Oyo state would be looking forward to having a symbiotic relationship with the federal government through Dare, who is now an ambassador of the state.
