( NAN REPORT)

Members of staff of the Federal Ministry of

Education on Wednesday in Abuja trooped out of

their offices, cheered and waved as they

welcomed the new Minister of Education, Adamu

Adamu.

Adamu was ushered into his office by Hajia

Hindatu Abdullahi, the Acting Permanent Secretary

of the ministry and other principal members of

staff.

President Muhammadu Buhari had appointed 36

ministers with their portfolios and named Adamu

as the Minister of Education, while Prof. Anthony Anwuka, was named the Minister of State for Education.

Anwuka, who arrived earlier at the ministry, was

also welcomed with cheers and warmth.

Abdullahi told newsmen that Buhari had directed

the ministers to officially resume duty on Nov. 17,

adding that Adamu came just to see his office.

According to the Acting permanent secretary,

every staff of the ministry is ready to cooperate

with the new minister in order to move the

education sector forward.

``We are really happy; you can see the mood in

the ministry now; not only me but the staff and

management, everybody is happy.

“We are ready to sit down with the minister to

drive the agenda of Mr President with regards to

education.

“We will sit down and hit the ground running

because education is a social service that

requires driving it with passion, commitment and

technical know-how,’’ she said.

Adamu, who hails

from Bauchi State, is a trained accountant and a

veteran journalist. (NAN)
