President Goodluck Jonathanon 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.
