22 Dec Senate confirms the appointment new minister
Muazu Sambo, the newly appointed minister, yesterday appeared before the Senate in plenary for confirmation.
After some questions, he was confirmed. Mr Sambo, who hails from Taraba State, was appointed minister by President Muhammadu Buhari last Tuesday.
His appointment came weeks after ministers of Agriculture, Sabo Nanono, and Power, Saleh Mamman, were sacked by the president.
While it is not clear whether Mr Sambo will be asked to head the power ministry, he has however, assured the Senate that he knows the issues frustrating the take-off of the Mabilla Power Project and will solve them – in a year.
“If confirmed by this Senate, I will definitely make a difference on the Mambila project within one year. I know what the problem is and I can crack it.
“The problem is human. I have delivered successful multi-billion dollar projects in the last 35 years. It is not new.”
Mr Sambo also addressed the increase in collapse of buildings across the country
