Buhari, in a statement by his media aide, Mr Femi Adesina, saluted the lawyer for his years of service to the country, accepting appointments to share his wealth of knowledge and wisdom, including as special assistant to the president on traditional institutions, secretary of Social Development, FCT, and working in the President’s Office with Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit, also known as Due Process, now Bureau for Public Procurement (BPP).
The president said Awolowo’s extensively worked with four Nigerian presidents and three FCT ministers, which reveals his patriotism and zeal to make a difference, successfully initiating and pursuing a visionary policy of Zero-oil Plan in NEPC, which calls for repositioning of the economy to favour non-oil exports.
