In a congratulatory statement by his Director of Media and Publicity, Bode Durojaiye, Oba Owoade described Tegbe as a superlative technocrat who combines high-level technical expertise with exceptional managerial competence, driving efficiency and innovation through data-driven decision making.

Oba Owoade stated that the 60-year-old first-class graduate of Civil Engineering from the then University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University is an asset to the nation.

Alaafin said: ” I am confident that the new Minister will not only use his technical knowledge to solve intricate issues in both public and private sectors.

“He will surely bring new ideas to governance and corporate management, as he is proactive in harnessing technology and science for social advancement”.

 While congratulating the new minister on his well-deserved appointment, Alaafin pointed out that his appointment is a testament to his dedication, integrity, and visionary leadership.

He said: “I am optimistic that as new Minister, you will bring the same excellence to this national assignment as you have demonstrated in your previous roles, helping to build a more prosperous nation. Your emergence as Minister is a significant milestone that brings pride to all who believe in purposeful leadership”, Owoade stated.
