The newly appointed Minister of Transportation, Engr. Muazu Jaji Sambo, formally resumed office on Wednesday, warning officials of his Ministry that if they look for his trouble, he will give them tenfold.
Recall that Sambo was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari last Wednesday following a minor cabinet reshuffle.
Shortly after taking over the reins of office from the erstwhile Minister of State, Transportation, Senator Gbemisola Saraki, Sambo said, I want to tell you that I am here only for a very short time. I dont want to cause a problem for anyone. I dont want anybody to also cause a problem for me. I will not look for your trouble; but if you look for mine, I will give you tenfold; that is me. But we can live together for 50 years without a quarrel if you know me.
So, I am coming with an open mind. There is nothing under the sun you wont hear when you are moving to a place, but the best thing is to let it enter through the right ear and go out through the left. Meet the people with an open mind and let God take control. This is the way I am coming into this house, and I want you to also embrace me and give me all the support. Dont let me wish that I had remained in the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing even as a Minister of State; but I am sure the Permanent Secretary will make sure that that does not happen.
Earlier, the outgoing Minister of State, Transportation, Sen. Gbemisola Saraki, while handing over to Sambo, urged officials of the ministry to support the new minister in order to move the nation forward.
