A traditional ruler in Osun State, Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdur-Rasheed Olabomi, said the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy superintend by the former governor Adegboyega Oyetola indicates economic prosperity for Nigeria.
A statement by the secretary and chairman of the media and publicity committee for the reception of Oyetola, Dr. Jimoh Olorede, and Alh. Adeoye Bakare, on Monday, quoted the monarch as saying, “With Oyetola as Minister of the new Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, and with his efficient management, fiscal discipline, and financial expertise, Nigerians should expect a big boost in the nation’s economy.
Also quoting the Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the reception, Engr. Taiye Adeyemi, the release noted that the monarch and Iragbiji community where the Minister hails from, would be hosting him at his country home on coming Saturday, 9th August.
“We are not just holding the reception for the fun of it, but for the celebration of Oyetola’s exceptional performance as Osun ex-governor, and also particularly for the certainty that he will replicate his technocratic expertise in his administration as the maiden helmsman of the newly created ministry.”
“Oba Olabomi had inaugurated the reception committee before the appointment of Oyetola as Minister by President Bola Tinubu. This is because we’re yet to hold a befitting reception for him as a community since he exited as governor of Osun State, so this is a dual celebratory reception for the Minister.
“We are celebrating the Honourable Minister in appreciation of his numerous contributions to the society, and to immortalize him, we are naming streets after him and erecting beautiful monuments in his honor on communal consensus and terms of reference given to the committee by Aragbiji,” the statement said.
