The duo of Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Minister for Interior and Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace, joint winners of an online poll recently organised by The Street Journal, have been presented with their respective ‘Super Minister Awards’.
The duo emerged winners in the third edition of the online poll after collectively winning the majority votes in the poll.
The publisher of the Ireland-based Newspaper, Mogaji Wole Arisekola, who is also the national chairman of the Association of Online Media Practitioners in Nigeria, made this known in a statement.
Congratulating the recipients during their award presentations, Arisekola said that organising the poll was the newspaper’s own contribution to national development and as a means of spurring the ministers to reach for the skies in the discharge of their national duties.
While receiving the award presented to him on Wednesday, July 17, at his office in Abuja, the Aviation Minister thanked the organisers for the award. Keyamo said that despite rejecting some awards, he felt compelled to accept that of The Street Journal’s because the media outfit is the voice of the people.
Tunji-Ojo, who was presented with his own award on Thursday July 18 at his Abuja office, was equally ecstatic about receiving his award. He thanked the team at The Street Journal for using their platform to project the numerous goodness that abound in Nigeria and prayed that they do not deviate from being on the good side of Nigeria’s history.
He added that the award is a booster for him to continue to give his best shot in the interior ministry.
