The newly assigned Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo has promised not to disappoint President Bola Tinubu.
Keyamo made this remark shortly after President Tinubu released portfolios for ministers.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) thanked the President assuring him that he will deliver in the Aviation ministry
Tweeting, Keyamo wrote: “Thank you, Mr. President. On my honour, I promise not to disappoint.”
Keyamo was the Minister of state for Labour and Employment during the immediate past administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that there was an uproar on the floor of the senate during his screening exercise, a situation that led to an executive session.
Senator Darlinghton Nwokocha (Labour Party) representing Abia Central Senatorial District had raised a point of Order.
Nwokocha told the senate how Keyamo blocked the House of Representatives Committee from carrying out its oversight function on the sum of N52 billion released to his Ministry.
Having explained this, he moved that the screening of Keyamo be stepped down in line with parliamentary rules.
However, Keyamo later apologized to the Senate and his name was later included in the list of approved ministerial nominees.
