“With your experience as the immediate past Minister of State in the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing and previous work experience in the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Savannah Bank, Allied Bank, NICON Insurance Corporation and as the General Manager, Lagos Zone, National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), where you meritoriously retired from public service in 2019;,we have no doubt that you will make significant positive impact as the Minister of Transportation,” the STOAN Chairman said.

She assured the new Ministers of the full cooperation of port terminal operators in the discharge of their duties, even as she prayed for God’s guidance for the duo in their new assignment.

Both Sambo and Adegoroye were deployed to the Federal Ministry of Transportation as Minister and Minister of State, respectively on July 6 after President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated new ministers and effected a minor cabinet reshuffle.

While Adegoroye is newly appointed into the President’s cabinet, Sambo was redeployed from the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing where he served as Minister of State since December 2021.
