Buhari described the conferment of the title of “Dan Amana” (the trusted one) to Amaechi as a clear commitment to the harmonious relationship between the nation’s diverse cultures.
He commended the minister “for working with enormous energy to make the change we promised Nigerians a reality,” noting that “the change we are witnessing in the transport sector is an extraordinary legacy.”
The president, who will not be at the event, has designated a delegation of three, made up of the Minister of Water Resources, Sulaiman Adamu and his aviation counterpart, Senator Hadi Sirika, as well as the Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity), Garba Shehu, to represent him.
