In his welcome address, the President of League of Maritime Editors, Chief Timothy Okorocha- Paul said that the League decided to recognize and appreciate what they believe is the peerless accomplishments of the immediate past Ministers of Transportation, Mu’azu Jaji Sambo CON and Minister of State for Transportation, Prince Ademola Adegoroye, through hardwork and uncommon commitment to raise the bar, both in improved governance system, industry capacity building and growth.
Okorocha said “Let me state very quickly, that we took note with special delight, the uncommon camaraderie that existed between Prince Adegoroye and his boss, Sambo, as a measure of the collective gains recorded by their very eventful, but short stint.
“On behalf of the League, l wish to place it on record that Sambo and Adegoroye are the epitome of grace in leadership, which also inspires and promotes respect, chivalry and focus at work place, leading unswervingly to efficiency and productivity. We thank you sirs, you have set a pace and standard that will take many decades to beat
