“Do Not Expect Magic From Me” – Newly Appointed Minister Of Power

The newly appointed Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, has stated that he is not a magician, adding that he is only coming to add value to the electricity sector.

Naija News recall that President Muhammadu Buhari on September 1 sacked the former minister of power, Sale Mamman and replaced him with Aliyu.

Speaking on Monday when he resumed his new position, Aliyu, a former minister of state for works and housing, urged stakeholders to collaborate to ensure adequate power supply to consumers.

“I am here to work together with all of you. I listened carefully when some of you introduced yourselves with various titles working in the ministry of power,” Aliyu said.

“I want those titles to be translated to production of power to Nigerians from generation, transmission to distribution. That is when our titles will make more meaning.

“Otherwise, time would come when we would be ashamed to mention our names with those titles. So, I want to ask everyone from the permanent secretary down to the smallest on the ladder by rank in any part of the ministry of power to be dedicated and committed to the task ahead.
