What Happened To My Old Staff On My First Day Resuming As Foreign Minister -Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu
It was a warm and emotional welcome when I arrived the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on my first day at work as Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Our Permanent Secretary arranged a nice reception… Many thanks, Amb. Ahmed and all our officers and staff at our Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as the heads and representatives of agencies superintended by the Ministry, who turned out to receive me.
It’s now a different office space, but the same familiar officers and staff.
I am grateful to my dynamic crew who work so hard to make our tasks purposeful, and our interventions successful;
My Director, all the directors, officers and staff as well as our security personnel and our hardworking team at OHMOS ( Office of the Honourable Minister of State) who have now transitioned to the OHMFA (Office of the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs). May God bless you all .
I remain thankful to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, the people of Federal Republic of Nigeria,
And God Almighty, the beneficient , whose mercies are unending. They are new every morning….
