New minister of power, works and housing, Babatunde
Raji Fashola resumed office yesterday.
Raji Fashola resumed office yesterday.
On resumption, he told staff of the Ministry of Power that Nigerians had
waited long enough to get power, hence, the federal government had no
choice than to deliver.
Speaking when he assumed office yesterday, he said Nigerians were anxiously waiting for results.
He
said his thoughts were on how to bring together processes and
activities of all the ministries under his supervision for effective
service delivery.
Fashola assured the Ministry’s leadership of his
willingness to learn from them, describing them as “career people” who
had been on the job for a long time.
“We want information on what
has been done, what remained to be done, and what are the future plans,
we want to continue from there,” he said.
He said he was also interested on how best to harness the available human resource and the physical assets in the ministry.
According
to him, the information he seeks will assist as the administration hits
the ground running, and that “we need to do more so as to regain lost
time.”
