On Monday, President Bola Tinubu swore in 45
ministers-designate who were screened and confirmed by the senate.
The ceremony was held at the banquet hall of the
presidential villa in the federal capital territory (FCT).
Ortom in a statement by Terver Akase, his media aide, said
Wike and Utsev will bring their wealth of experiences to bear on their new
appointments.
Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers state is
appointed as the FCT minister, while Joseph Utsev, a former appointee of Ortom,
is now the minister of water resources.
Ortom also commended Tinubu for finding both politicians
worthy to serve in his cabinet, describing them as round pegs in round holes
needed for addressing challenges being faced by Nigerians.
He described Wike as a worthy ally who deepened the
relationship between Rivers and his state, as well as stood by the Benue people
in difficult times.
The former governor added that as a dogged, reliable and
seasoned administrator, Wike would bring the desired development to the FCT as
minister.
He noted that Utsev who served under him as commissioner for
water resources and environment has the requisite experience and capacity to
excel as the minister of water resources and sanitation.
