“As we are all aware, he has constituted committees with specific assignments and timelines, also the presentation of the list of nominees to the National Assembly within 60 days as stipulated by law, indicates he is here to work.
“Now that the confirmation has been transmitted to the presidency by the senate, I believe the economy will soon bounce back with all ministers at work,” he said.
Gumel expressed appreciation for the visit, saying it was a call for greater hard work.
“The visit is one of many others that have spurred me to continue to work for national development,” he said.
He urged Nigerians to continue to work with the present government to reposition the economy and give the country its pride of place.
Earlier speaking, Imam, who led the team, said the visit was to congratulate Gumel on his appointment as SSA to the President on National Assembly Matters.
He said the appointment was well deserved looking at the Gumel’s track record in nation building.
He prayed for God’s guidance, wisdom and wise counsel to the SSA in his endeavours.
