Following the termination of his appointment as Power Minister, Sale Mamman has said that he achieved “giant strides” while in office within two years.
Mamman stated this in an appreciation note he posted on his verified Facebook account on Thursday upon his dismissal by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari had on Wednesday sacked 63-year-old Mamman (Taraba State); and his 75-year-old Agriculture counterpart, Mohammed Nanono (Kano State). He had also redeployed the Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abubakar, to the Ministry of Agriculture while the Minister of State for Works, Abubakar Aliyu, took over as Minister of Power.
“I wish to reiterate once more, that this process shall be continuous,” presidential spokesman Femi Adesina had quoted Buhari as saying, adding that the decision was taken after a “critical self-review” of the performances of the two ministers.
Mamman in his appreciation note wrote, “With a deep sense of humility and submission to the will of Almighty Allah I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR for granting me the opportunity to serve in his administration and contribute my quota to our beloved Nation Nigeria, I am grateful for the confidence, belief and trust he placed in me and most especially the support he gave me during my tenure at the Power House and his leadership direction. I remain committed to his agenda for our great Nation and shall continue to support him in any way possible.”
