The new Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has promised not to disappoint President Bola Tinubu over his ministerial appointment.
Keyamo gave the assurance in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, hours after his portfolio was confirmed on Wednesday.
“Thank you, Mr. President. On my honour, I promise not to disappoint,” the Delta State-born lawyer-cum-politician wrote.

Keyamo served as Minister of State for Labour and Employment in the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
During his screening, there was uproar in the Senate, a situation that led to an executive session.
Senator Darlinghton Nwokocha (Labour Party) representing Abia Central Senatorial District had raised a point of Order.
Nwokocha told the senate how Keyamo blocked the House of Representatives Committee from carrying out its oversight function on the sum of N52 billion released to his Ministry.
Having explained this, he moved that the screening of Keyamo be stepped down in line with parliamentary rules.
However, Keyamo later apologized to the Senate
