The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has expressed his support for President Bola Tinubu’s recent cabinet reshuffle, which was announced last Wednesday.
Through a statement released by his Special Adviser on Strategic Communication and Media Relations, Bolaji Tunji, Adelabu extended his congratulations to the newly appointed officials, including the former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, who has been named Special Adviser on Public Communication and Orientation to President Tinubu.
Adelabu also congratulated the new Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, who previously served as a senior lecturer in the Department of Jurisprudence and International Law at the University of Lagos.
His commendations extended to all the newly appointed federal ministers, reflecting his approval of the President’s choices.
Describing the appointments as a testament to President Tinubu’s knack for identifying competent individuals to guide the nation, Adelabu highlighted, “Being selected by Mr. President is a reflection of their ability, exceptional leadership, and expertise.”
