In the wake of her dismissal from office, the former Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, has expressed her gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the opportunity to serve in his administration. In a heartfelt letter of appreciation, dated 24th October 2024, Ohanenye reflected on her tenure as a minister and shared her continued commitment to Nigeria’s progress.
“I write to express my sincere gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the opportunity to serve as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Ohanenye stated in her letter. “It has been an honor and a privilege to contribute to the development of our Nation.”
Ohanenye also extended her appreciation to Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her guidance and support throughout her term. She credited the First Lady’s influence for helping her navigate the challenges of the role. “Her kindness and encouragement have been instrumental to my success,” she noted.
Despite her exit from the government, Ohanenye reassured Nigerians of her dedication to the country’s growth and prosperity. “To the people of Nigeria, I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support. Your trust and confidence in me have been a constant source of inspiration,” she said, promising to continue serving the nation in any capacity she can.
Her removal follows President Tinubu’s recent cabinet reshuffling, though the specific reasons for her dismissal have not been officially disclosed. Ohanenye, however, remains focused on her personal commitment to the nation, signaling her readiness to contribute to Nigeria’s future, even outside the corridors of power.
