‘We are barely eight months in office’, Amaechi tells Nigerians not to be hasty in judging FG performance

The Minister of Transportation and Aviation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi has urged Nigerians to be patient with the President Muhammadu Buhari administration and avoid judging it hastily.

Amaechi asked concerning the non-performance of the government after an interactive session with Ports Concessionaries at the Eko Hotel and Suites, told journalists that; “After all, we are barely eight months in office. What we crave of Nigerians is to be patient with us as there are silver linings in the horizon.”

Amaechi said the gathering of the concessionaires, under the auspices of the Shippers Council and the Nigeria Ports Authority was to engage with the stakeholders over what he said was the displeasure of the federal government with the running of the ports even after it had  been concessioned.

Amaechi said he was particularly worried at the way the funds accruing to the government were  reportedly being spent. 

“Almost ten years after NPA surrendered its cargo handling functions to private terminal operators, there seems not to be any remarkable difference even though it is a known fact that the maritime sector generates a lot of money every year without a corresponding contribution to the budget,” he said.
