President Muhammadu Buhari has described the appointment of Nigeria-born Kelechi (Kaycee) Madu, as Minister of Justice and Solicitor General for the Government of Alberta, in Canada as laudable.

The president’s reaction is contained in a statement on Thursday by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity) in Abuja where Buhari congratulated Madu for the feat.

As previously reported by Naija News, Madu revealed on his LinkedIn account that he has been appointed minister of justice and solicitor general of the Province of Alberta in Canada and vowed to ensure that everyone in Alberta has equal access to justice.

Buhari in his reaction congratulated Madu and described the feat as an example that Nigerians can distinguish themselves anywhere they find themselves.

The statement read, “President Muhammadu Buhari rejoices with Nigerian born Kaycee Madu, appointed Minister of Justice and Solicitor General for the Government of Alberta, in Canada.

“Madu makes history as the first African born provincial Minister in Canadian history and is also the Provincial Secretary and Keeper of the Great Seal of the Province of Alberta.

“President Buhari describes the honour as ‘landmark and historic,’ saying it once again pedestals people of Nigerian descent as go-getters, who distinguish themselves in different walks of life.
