A prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Olorogun Bernard Okumagba, has congratulated the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Olorogun Festus Keyamo, SAN, on his swearing-in by President Bola Tinubu as a member of the Federal Executive Council.
Okumagba, a former Delta State commissioner for finance, also commended President Tinubu for the appointment of Keyamo, saying the Uvwie-born Delta politician has the pedigree and capacity to deliver on the President’s “Renewed Hope” in the Aviation industry.
In a statement on Tuesday congratulating Keyamo, the Warri-born economic czar noted that the new minister is committed to both the party and the President and his faith in the “Renewed Hope” Agenda of President Tinubu.
He stated that Keyamo’s track record gives hope for a very successful aviation sector development that will boost air transport and safety which are key to President Tinubu’s agenda to reboot the economy for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
“Against the backdrop of air transportation challenges and increasing demands for more efficient local aviation, the Minister faces significant expectations from Nigerians.
“Olorogun Festus Keyamo will fill this critical role with experience, wisdom and determination – steering an inclusive national aviation agenda that will significantly contribute to bring shared prosperity to the majority of Nigerians,” said Okumagba.
The former Delta State Commissioner of Finance further stated that he is confident that, under Olorogun Keyamo’s leadership, the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development will pursue more effective ways to address the challenges the Ministry is facing, and reform its processes, so that aviation and aerospace development deliver growth and better livelihoods for all Nigerians.
The Delta APC leader wished Keyamo much success for the challenging task that lies ahead of him as he lives up to the charge by President Tinubu “to restore public faith in government so that our people can once again believe that the right hands are in government.”
