I congratulate Rt. Hon. Barr. Emmmanuel Jime, who was the APC Governorship Candidate in the 2019 General Elections in Benue State on this well deserved appointment.

Rt. Hon Emmanuel Jime, who held sway as the Managing Director of NEPZA and has been in public service for over three decades, is a good example that great things happen to those who work hard with patience and perseverance. Jime has the drive and experience needed to lead this organization.

On behalf of the APC family in Benue State, we are grateful to Mr. President for finding yet another Benue son worthy of appointment to this office. We are very hopeful that Mr. President will continue to consider more of our loyal party members sooner than later for other appointments too.

Mr. President does not forget his own.

Let me once again congratulate Rt. Hon Emmanuel Jime and wish him a successful tenure as the Executive Secretary of Nigerian Shippers Council.

Senator George Akume, fnim
Honourable Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Abuja.
