“My personal and official interactions with Professor Gambari have brought about nothing but meaningful development. He is a man of many parts,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu said the several years of experience garnered by the newly appointed CoS in various fields of international diplomacy and politics, academics, research and management, would help the President and Commander- In- Chief in the onerous tasks of administering the nation.
“I have no doubt that Professor Gambari’s appointment is a major win for the presidency and the nation as a whole, especially coming at a time when Nigeria is confronting a major challenge with a global outlook,” the governor said.
