 President Bolatnubu has urged the 45 newly inaugurated ministers to prioritize the interests and welfare of the entire nation and its diverse population above any regional or state-specific considerations. The president told the new members of the Federal Executive Council to carve out policies that would significantly influence the lives of Nigerians. They maintained that they must serve with integrity, dignity and deliver on his renewed hope agenda to transform the nation's economy and ensure peace, safety and prosperity for the people. It is high honor to be chosen to serve as the minister in the Federal Executive Council of our beloved Republic. With such honor comes tremendous responsibility. In this moment of abundant promise and parry in equal measure, all of you who have been sworn in. Have been called to distinguish yourself, erase me who know you and delegates this of you. But the greatest number of Nigerians are highly expectant of delivery and accountability and transparency. Your assignment began immediately. As your country honors you today by this culture service, you must each work to make yourself worthy in the eyes of God and all our nation's people. Your highest obligation is to reach your public faith in government so that our people can once again believe that the right hands, the government can show and believe in you. That government can be a positive force for transformation and effective for collective progress of this country. You are not a minister of a particular state, colony, region or ethnic nationality. You are a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. For their part the new ministers pledged to serve with competence. Not only my ministry, every ministry, the expectation of Nigeria or Nigerians is that you key into the hope agenda of Mr. President. Each ministry has a role to play. Coming to my ministry we have to ensure that the rule of law reform agenda of Mr. President keys appropriately into this area and that is number one thing. Without rule of law it simply means follow the rules, follow the regulations. Nothing meaningful can be done. It is a veritable platform or foundation upon which meaningful development can be anchored. Nigeria should be expecting a departure from the norm. Everybody knows what's been happening in that solid mineral sector of the economy. It's been free-tied away, Nigeria has been shortchanged, we've been receiving the shorter end of the stick, there is going to be a critical departure from that norm. But I'm not going to reveal the strategies and tactics right now, we'll be unfolding that as we move ahead. But we are going to harness those resources for the benefit of our people, for the benefit of Nigeria and in the interest, collective interest of all and we are going to be involving the private sector and there will be massive foreign direct investment into that sector. That is the only way to go. Excited, happy that Nigeria is going to take a new turn. But my ministry caters to private sector, so we are going to grow the small and medium scale industries, the micro enterprises and also enable businesses to grow, industries to grow, improve trade relations with other countries, see improvements in our exports. Basically that's what we are going to be focusing on. A lot of involvement by all stakeholders because tourism is about all of us, about our looks, our behaviour, what we have to offer internally and what our externals are expecting to offer and it's going to involve every single person from the top to the bottom and we can all do it and we're going to start seeking everyone's support in ensuring that Nigeria is for all of us, it showcases us and people come here and enjoy what we enjoy. In life everything is a challenge but it can also be an exciting and intentionally rewarding challenge and that's what we are going to do.
