In a resounding endorsement of progressive ideals and good governance, the Progressives Advocates, a dynamic coalition of Nigerian youths, has extended their heartfelt congratulations to Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola and Dr Maryam Shetty on their nominations as Ministers in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This commendation also extends to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose discerning eye for talent has once again brought forth the finest individuals to serve the nation.

Firstly, Governor Oyetola’s vast reservoir of experience, achieved through a balanced blend of private and public sector roles, underscores his competence as a leader. His impressive journey from diverse organizations to the esteemed position first acting the ‘engine room’ as Chief of Staff for eight years and then as Governor of Osun State, where he left an indelible legacy of exemplary governance, speaks volumes of his capabilities. Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola’s profile as an insurance tycoon, seasoned administrator, accomplished politician and astute manager of human and material resources, positions him as a keen visionary leader who is capable of navigating the complexities of national administration with remarkable success.

Equally, the choice of Dr Maryam Shetty as a Ministerial nominee further exemplifies President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to fostering a new generation of exceptional leaders. Dr Shetty’s trajectory, both in politics and her professional endeavours, has been nothing short of impressive. Notably, her contributions to Nigeria’s representation at the United Nations General Assembly, particularly in committees related to accountability, transparency, and anti-corruption, underscores her relevance to the project of renewed hope.

With a remarkable track record in the clinical and international development sectors, Dr Shetty’s participation in programs like PATHS 2, funded by UKAid, showcases her expertise in driving transformative initiatives. Moreover, her service at the State House Clinic at the Presidential Villa and her involvement in the Child Care and Wellness initiative further solidify her credentials as a leader who prioritizes the welfare of the Nigerian populace.

As the nation looks forward to a brighter future under President Tinubu’s visionary leadership, the selection of Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola and Dr Maryam Shetty as Ministerial nominees signals a significant step towards the realization of promised developmental goals. Their unique combination of experience, expertise, and dedication to public service positions them as powerful agents of change, capable of steering Nigeria to greater heights.

In conclusion, the Progressives Advocates wholeheartedly congratulate Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola and Dr Maryam Shetty on their nominations as Ministers in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Their selection reflects President Tinubu’s commitment to fostering a competent and visionary leadership that will propel the nation forward. With their proven capabilities and unwavering dedication to the Nigerian cause, we are confident that they will contribute immensely to the nation’s progress and fulfil President Tinubu’s promises to deliver prosperity and good governance for all Nigerians.
