Minister Appoints Ex-House Of Reps Aspirant As Special Adviser

The Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Hajia Hannatu Musawa has appointed a former House of Representatives aspirant from Kwara, Mr Abiola Abdulkareem as the Special Adviser on Civil Service Affairs.
Abdulkareem in a statement on Monday in Abuja said he would do all within his power not to negate the vision and aspiration of the minister.
Abdulkareem contested the House of Reps primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti, Isin, Irepodun and Oke-ero Federal Constituency of Kwara in 2022.
Huge responsibility

He said he was ready to serve the minister and ultimately, the country, explaining that it was a huge responsibility to be part of President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.

He promised to key into the dreams and visions of the administration, stating that he would collaborate with civil servants to ensure the country profits from the new ministry.

He said the creative economy would be used to drive jobs, revenue, community resources and cultural engagement that would help the country to shift from oil dependent economy.

According to him, the creative economy is one of the fastest-growing sectors, which was why the president gave it to a woman who has the energy and focuss to get the job done.

He said he would help to promote innovation among civil servants which would help to bring additional revenue to the country, while calling for support from civil servants to drive the agenda.
