The Seaport Terminal Operators Association of Nigeria (STOAN) on Sunday felicitated the new Minister of Transportation, Mr. Mu’azu Sambo, on his appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari as the Minister of Transportation.
The Chairman of STOAN, Princess Vicky Haastrup, in a statement in Lagos, also felicitated the Minister of State for Transportation, Mr. Ademola Adegoroye.
While assuring the new ministers of the full cooperation of port terminal operators in the discharge of their duties, Haastrup who prayed for God’s guidance for the duo in their new assignments expressed confidence in the ability of the new ministers to fulfill the vision of President Buhari for the transportation sector.
The STOAN President said, “We are particularly happy with your appointment considering your rich work experience and numerous contributions to nation building both within and outside the maritime industry;
“We are assured with your experience as the immediate past Minister of State in the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, and previous work experience in the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Savannah Bank, Allied Bank, and NICON Insurance Corporation.
“Also, as the General Manager Lagos Zonal Office of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), where you meritoriously retired from public service in 2019; we have no doubt that you will make a significant positive impact as the Minister of Transportation,” she said.
Recall that both Sambo and Adegoroye were deployed to the Federal Ministry of Transportation as Minister and Minister of State respectively on July 6 after President Muhammadu Buhari effected a minor cabinet reshuffle after some ministers resigned to contest in last primary elections of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
