President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the appointment of 39-year-old Olukemi Badenoch, a United Kingdom-born Nigerian as Under-secretary of Children and Families by the new British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

Mr. Buhari in a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, on Wednesday described her appointment as “well-deserved”.

The president urged Olukemi to regard her new position as an opportunity to justify the confidence reposed in her by making lasting impact.

He said he had no doubt that Mrs Badenoch would succeed given her academic qualifications and parliamentary experience.

He also enjoined the junior minister to see herself as an ambassador of her fatherland in conduct and performance.

Badenoch’s appointment, according to Buhari is a plus for Nigerians in Diaspora.

“It further confirms my belief that with hard work and integrity, Nigerians can excel in their chosen professions and fields of endeavour anywhere in the world,” Buhari said.

The President also applauded Johnson for finding Badenoch suitable.

Western Nigerians were highly sophisticated in politics. among them,democracy was not an imported political idea..knowledgeable intellectual and intelligent people. if you don't believe me, go and borrow yourself a brain.

So is that an achievement now for your government or what? Useless President face your own government. She is doing her job Mr President do yours. You put old incompetent people to come and serve you and you are congratulating someone who did the opposite how insane can a leader be and so shameless about it.

Wasting tax payers money on incompetent ministers, that do nothing asides looting and doing nothing. He should just congratulate himself for getting new sets of supposed loyalists.

Shameless man. you appointed people like Aregbe based on hard work ba

Bubu was thinking is Kemi Adeosun

Keep applauding them, they pick ministers and appointments based on merit and the best person for the job, but for you never you pick a bunch of block heads that have no idea about the portfolio handed them except fast means to loot the ministry dry.

Carry on presido keep hailing them for picking a Nigerian asset
Yeye dey smell

Baba should not only applaud but also learn.

Baba ...

Learn not to appoint people to office based on sentiments.

Learn to appoint young fresh bloods to bring new ways of doing things

Learn to ignore the cabals

See our president recycling already known old failures, while the westerners make use of our best young brains to manage their country.

Don't let pple treat you like cigarettes, they only use you wen they are bored, then step on you wen they are done, be like drugz let them die for you!!!

He sabi scout and he appointed Akpabio, Aregbe etc? Truly he is scout master of the nonentities.

Of what benefit is this statement to Nigerians? Sincerely, this man lacks something upstairs

Has she ever told anyone that she is Nigerian?

I recollect that a presidential assistant once congratulated some 'Nigerians' appointed by the British Government only for the appointed people to come back to say, sorry we are not 'Nigerians'!

We are busy here destroying our BEST with the way we play our acute NEPOTISM and then we are quick to shout holla to those who excel after escaping from here!

Uhnnn
