“He then charged the newly appointed ministers as well as their reassigned colleagues to see their appointment as a call to serve the nation.

“He added that all appointees must understand the administration’s eagerness and determination to set Nigeria on the path to irreversible growth and invest the best of their abilities into the actualisation of the government’s priorities.”
