“He is a man that is trusted, he is a man that is tested. He is a performer, an infrastructure guru, and he is a good man.
“I want to thank my younger brother in the Ministry of Works, we are one family and one people.
“So, I'm fortunate to have the Perm Sec and the Director of Works. We are rewriting the history of Ministry of Works, we are bringing a lot of innovations that would put our nation's road infrastructure to a point of no return.
“I assure you that in the next 30 days, I will come back to reappraise the progress of work, I know that Mr governor does not have the patience of waiting for 30 days but if I know the time he will come, then I will come ahead of him.
