A Civil Society Organisation (CSO), Northern Youth Initiative for Peace and Good Governance, has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Stella Okotete as minister designate.
President of the group, Alh. Umur Faruk Lawal described Okotete as a game changer who has all it takes to perform beyond expectations based on her wealth of experience as the former Executive director Business development Nexim bank.
He spoke Monday in Abuja after the group declared support for the nomination of Okotete, at the entrance of the National Assembly.
“Today, we are here in support of Stella Okotete because she has done excellently well. That is why President Bola Tinubu nominated her for the ministerial position. Some People are against her nomination because they don’t want the progress of Nigerian youth and Nigeria at large.
“We believe our president would give her a good ministry to head to carry the youths of the country along. We believe in her leadership capacity. That is why we are here,” he said.
Speaking further, he also commended the ministerial nomination of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
“El-Rufia is a good nomination. Very good one because today we enjoy peace in Abuja being a centre of unity. Abuja today being clean is because of what El- rufia did as minister of the FCT. If you visit Kaduna, what he did as governor is visible. President Tinubu will not nominate people that cannot work for Nigeria.
“The president nominated people that can deliver for Nigeria. And we believe he’s going to do more, by God’s grace he will not disappoint Nigeria with his ministerial list,” he said.
