The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has congratulated Taiwo Oyedele on his appointment as Minister of State for Finance by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Oyedele’s appointment followed his nomination by President Tinubu and subsequent confirmation by the Senate as the appropriate candidate for the position.
In a congratulatory message issued on Wednesday, Tunji-Ojo described Oyedele as a man of integrity and brilliance whose unwavering dedication to service delivery made him well suited for the new role.
The Interior Minister also highlighted Oyedele’s previous service as Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, noting that his work in that capacity had made a profound impact on Nigeria’s fiscal policy direction.
“Beyond your track records, I have known you as a man of integrity, brilliance and unwavering dedication, not just in your field of expertise but also as a Nigerian who believes in the development of his country,” Tunji-Ojo said.
He expressed confidence that Oyedele would bring the same vision, commitment and excellence to his new role at the Ministry of Finance.
“It fills me with pride to see your talent and service recognised at this level. Nigeria is fortunate to have you leading in this critical sector and I celebrate your achievement with all my heart,” he added.
Tunji-Ojo wished the new minister a successful tenure and also appreciated President Tinubu for finding Oyedele worthy of the appointment.
