Former-Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Dr. Suleyman Abdu Ndanusa has urged Nigerians to be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari on the constitution of his cabinet.
He said “strategic patience tailored towards smooth government running is not inaction”.
The ex-SEC DG spoke on Wednesday while fielding questions at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria (ICSAN).
“So far I don’t consider it (official release of new ministers) a delay. If they want to set a new system, a new set of conduct, new ways of doing things that those who are going to occupy position of leadership will abide by I think it’s fantastic,” he added.
Ndanusa, who is the president and chairman of ICSAN, expressed confidence in Buhari’s handling of the economy, security and corruption.
He said: “He (Buhari) is a very experienced leader and of high integrity; he has headed sensitive public offices. We need him and we should give him all the support and chance to be successful.”
On the President’s visit to the United States, he said: “America being one of the key world powers and richest country in the world, the visit will add value and revamp our relationship with America. We are hopeful that the visit will get support that will be used to bring about the needed change in Nigeria.”
