President Goodluck Jonathan on
Wednesday named the former Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission,
Mr. Osita Chidoka, as the new Minister of Aviation.
He also named a former lecturer at
the University of Abuja, Dr. Suleman Abubakar, as the Minister of National
Planning and Deputy Chairman of the National Planning Commission.
Jonathan made the announcement after
the swearing in of the two new ministers shortly before the commencement of the
weekly Federal Executive Council meeting.
The President also named Deputy
Corps Marshal Boboye Oyeyemi as Chidoka’s successor in the FRSC.
He urged the new government
officials to ensure that they leave their footprints in the offices they were
deployed in.
On Oyeyemi, Jonathan said he decided
to appoint him from the commission in order to ensure stability.
This, he added, was a clear
departure from what had been obtainable in the FRSC since its inception when
its heads were appointed from outside the system.
