The Honourable Minister of State, Power, Goddy Jedy Agba, OFR has congratulated his colleague, Engr. Abubakar Aliyu, the Honourable Minister of Power for his work ethics as shown in his first fifty days in office. 

Jedy-Agba, in a statement issued in Abuja Congratulating the Minister said that the Minister has demonstrated uncommon commitment towards achieving the President Muhammadu Buhari's administration's power agenda. 

Recall that during the federal executive council meeting held on September first, President Buhari sacked the former Minister of Power, Saleh Maman and redeployed Engr. Aliyu who was the Minister of State, Works and Housing to the Ministry of Power to replace him. 

Celebrating the new Minister's fifty days in office, his colleague heaped praises on him saying that with him, the tide has changed as the entire workforce in the Ministry are now showing different attitudes to work. 

 

He maintained that the renewed synergy existing between them and other relevant stakeholders in the Ministry and sector is a testament to Aliyu's policy of collectivism by allowing everybody contribute substantially towards achieving the Ministry's goals.

The Minister of State said that under the new Power Minister, there's a systematic reformation going on in the power sector and he's happy for the opportunity to work with the experienced leader as a critical partner to achieving the set goals.

According to him, "I want to congratulate my brother and colleague, the Honourable Minister of Power, Engr. Abubakar Aliyu. With him, there's a feeling of fresh air not just in the Ministry but Power sector generally. From the workers, to principal officers to our partners and investors, the tide has changed and everybody has buckled up. 

Everything has changed in such a short time. His works ethics is topnotch. My staff used to joke with me that since I like work, I've seen a colleague who matches me. We now have a Minister who comes to work everyday before any other person but will be the last to leave office. We now have a Man who appreciates the contribution of everybody and treats every single person with utmost respect".

Jedy-Agba added that, he hopes to sustain the synergy existing between them to collectively deliver on their mandates of creating jobs, ending the estimated billing regime, improving power supply, completing critical power infrastructure like the Kashimbilla, Mimbilla and power projects across the country.
