At a grand reception held in his honour by the new minister, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, in Abuja, General Dambadau said that he was able to learn a lot as a minister, apart from his training as military officer.
He dedicated his successes while in office to God, who elevated him to the peak of his career, both in the military and in academics, pledging his continued determination to serve the people.
This was even as his host, Ogbeni Aregbesola acknowledged that Damzau performed creditably well, particularly in the area of repositioning the services under the Ministry.
He said praised the former minister for providing the Ministry with a befitting office complex for the Minister, adding that all the reforms and policies that Dambazau initiated while in office were to ensure the provision of internal security for Nigerians.
Aregbesola said that the ministry would collaborate with relevant security agencies through the sharing of information with the view to arresting all forms of security threats, stressing that there is no meaningful development that would take place without adequate security.
“Therefore, Nigerians must begin to see security as everyone’s business if only the country is to move to the next level of socio-economic development.”
