We are working together as progressives, we are one.

In his remarks, Governor Soludo stated that Ambassador Bianca was well-suited for the ministerial appointment, considering her extensive experience as a former ambassador and her specialized training, describing her situation as “a round peg in a round hole.”

This vision has garnered significant commendation from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
