I find my new appointment challenging – Oyetola

Adegboyega Oyetola, the newly appointed Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, has stated that he finds it challenging to hold such a position in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He spoke on Monday evening in Abuja outside the reception that the APC chapter in Osun State and other stakeholders hosted for him.

The minister assured that he would succeed in the presidential mandate granted to him, even if he acknowledged that it was difficult for him to be chosen to lead a new ministry.

Oyetola praised President Bola Tinubu for thinking highly enough of him to appoint him as a minister.

He also expressed his gratitude to the event’s organizers, stating that the amount of unity shown was inspiring and will inspire him to do even more for Nigerians.

The minister continued by saying that in order to be successful in the new ministry, he would need the support and cooperation of all parties.

“I thank almighty God for this wonderful opportunity to serve and the people of Osun for coming all the way from the state to celebrate with me here.

“I am indeed happy seeing people from all walks of life, including traditional rulers, coming to celebrate with me.

“I feel challenged to be made a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because it comes with a lot of responsibilities.

” I pray that the Almighty will see me through.

“Being a new ministry, I will have to start from the scratch, and I trust God Almighty to succeed and deliver on my new mandate,” he said.
