Onu, who spoke on Wednesday night at a reception organised in his honour by Concerned Ebonyi State Indigenes, pledged that he would work assiduously to emerge as the best minister the country ever produced.

“One assurance that I will always give you and I have said it repeatedly, is that as your son, I will never do something that you will be ashamed of.

“It is better for me to leave politics than for me to do something for my own selfish interest that will make you to be ashamed of your son.

“I will continue to act in a way that Nigerians will know that Ebonyi State is truly the Salt of the Nation.

“I want to assure you that I will make sure that I will be the best minister Nigeria ever had,” he stated.

The former governor of old Abia, stressed that no nation had ever attained greatness without science and technology.

“I want you to go home with these words: no nation from the beginning of time has ever become great without embracing science and technology.

“The U.S. is the greatest power in the world; the largest economy, the strongest military and the U.S. has the highest diplomatic potential that she has used in the maintenance of peace all over the world.

“But the U.S. was able, is able and will continue to do so, so long as it is leading in science and technology,’’ the minister noted.

Onu said that Nigeria had the potential not just to be one of the 20 leading economies, but one of the 10 leading economies.

He added: “but we cannot do it without science and technology.’’
He recalled that about 23 years ago, he started the Technology Village Project in Abia which was disrupted as a result of military intervention.

“Science and technology will take Nigeria to a height unimagined today; we will do our best to be the instruments that Nigeria will use to get to that height. And I need your prayers; I need your support.’’

Dr Paul Okorie, a former Commissioner of Works in Ebonyi, said Buhari made the right choice in appointing Onu a minister.

He urged Onu to be a key player in Buhari’s desire to ensure uninterrupted power and reform of the electoral system.

The former commissioner stressed that the reform of the electoral system was very import as the people’s votes would count, leading to the emergence of truly elected leaders.

Chief Austine Edeze, a member of APC Board of Trustees, also commended the president for appointing Onu as a minister.

Edeze, who is also the spokesman for the organisers, said that Onu was a consistent politician and gave assurance that he would deliver.

“ We thank President Muhammadu Buhari for finding our son and leader worthy to serve at this period. We assure him that Onu is a man he can trust to deliver.’’

Mr Magnus Eze, National Coordinator, Ebonyi Professionals Forum, said Onu’s love to serve Nigeria had never been swayed by “bread and butter” politics.

“ Dr Onu is an embodiment of humility, resilience, integrity, discipline and wisdom – key qualities that will help Mr President, change Nigeria for the better,’’ he said.(NAN)

You guys should compete. I like it since Nigerians are the ones that will benefit from it.

But don't take uncalculated risk in the hope of being the best though

This man should just shut up and feed quietly on his approved crumbs from the master table.

A puppet of inconsequential numerical deduction.

While Buhari ministers are competing for the best minister in terms of performance and achievement, GEJ ministers were busy competing on who loot the most

But to be sincere, the first position goes to frf, fashola Rotimi and Fayemi

This is now a Competition and I love it.

This is the kind of competition we need.
Ogbonnaya has thrown down the gauntlet, lets see how it will pan out.
God bless Nigeria and no where else.

I see now our ministers are competing on performance,Good for Nigeria.

In the Jonathan led regime,Stella oduah promised to teach diezani a lesson,she promised to show her that she Sabi steal public funds pass her,so she bought $240 million bullet proof BMW cars.Hmm.....diezani just smiled.The woman got for her son a convoy of jets.Oduah was dumbfounded,but that was not the end of it,$20 billion of Nigerian money,believed to be under diezanis custody got missing,Sanusi blowed it out,to show oduah money and power,diezani got sanusi sacked by ebele -God was by sanusis side,he made him the emir of the great kingdom Kano- oduah was "DUMBFOLDED",she accepted that diezani is indeed above her class in terms of public fund stealing,she resigned and went home.But diezani was not satisfied,how could someone dare her in her profession??when the people cried,ebele told them not to worry,that stealing is not corruption,that diezani and his remaining ministers are goats and Nigerian money is their yam and there's nothing wrong with goat eating a public yam,what a Shepherd ebele was!Just when hope was lost,things got worst,a new shepherd came in town and now no goat eats the public yam,matter of fact the goats are not even interested in the public yam,they are more interested in additional yams they can bring to the public yam store.

Sir,Rotimi amachi has started the race and promised to bring the highest number of yams,now onu promise to beat him at that and lot more are to join the race in bringing back public yams home.....at the end of it all,Each Nigerian will have a nice share of his yam.

Gone are the days when one goat eat all of our yam!
