PRESIDENT
 GOODLUCK JONATHAN

President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed his belief in his Cabinet’s capacity to drive the country’s “transformation programme” to “make Nigeria better.”

The President made the expression at the occasion of the formal presentation and swearing-in of members of the Federal Executive Council at the State Council Chambers, State House, Abuja, recently.

President Jonathan said the major criteria for the rigorous selection of the new Ministers were “an assessment of expertise, integrity, experience, qualifications, and due consultations with a broad category of stakeholders.”

He called on the new Ministers to exhibit a sense of patriotism in their discharge of duties.

“It is important for us to realize that we are all on probation in the eyes of the public,” said the President.

 The president reiterated his conviction that the new ministers would deliver in their respective responsibilities.

“I believe that this Cabinet is made up of men and women who can drive our transformation programme, and work hard to make Nigeria better,” He stressed.
