“Fellow Nigerians, there have been a lot of anxiety and
impatience over the apparent delay in announcement
of ministers. There is no cause to be anxious. Our
government sets out to do things methodically and
properly. Anyway, the wait is over. The first set of
names for ministerial nominees for confirmation has
been sent to the senate. Subsequent lists will be
forwarded in due course. Impatience is not a virtue.
Order is more vital than speed. Careful and deliberate
decisions after consultations get far better results.
And better results for our country is what the APC
government for Change is all about,” he said.
The president also used the ceremony to reassure
Nigerians on his government preparedness to
complete projects that would transform the lives of
Nigerians.
President Buhari tasked Nigerians to clinch to the
attitude of ‘change’ for the general wellbeing of the
country.
“I would like to end my address this morning on our
agenda for Change. Change does not just happen. You
and I and all of us must appreciate that we all have
our part to play if we want to bring CHANGE about.
We must change our lawless habits, our attitude to
public office and public trust. We must change our
unruly behavior in schools, hospitals, market places,
motor parks, on the roads, in homes and offices. To
bring about change, we must change ourselves by
being law-abiding citizens,” he advised.
It was reported that the name of the former governor
of Anambra state, Chris Ngige was added to the
ministerial list at the eleventh hour after the likes of
Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Amaechi, Kayode Fayemi
have already made the list. The list was submitted to
the Senate on September 3o.
