“I do not need a title to serve the president” – Former Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN)

Former Minister of Works and Housing Babatunde Fashola (SAN) says he does not need a title to work in President Bola Tinubu’s government, which he believes is grooming the next generation of leaders.

The former Lagos State Governor, who also worked as Mr Tinubu’s Chief of Staff while the president was governor of the state, was replying to a question on his involvement in the current federal administration and the prospect of being appointed.

He said, “I do not need a title to serve, the president can only appoint at least one minister, for example, from each state in which he has done that.

“There are just enough places in parastatals, they are doing that; we are estimated to be 200 million, so there are not enough offices to take everybody.

“All of us must play our roles as citizens, and a citizen does not need a title to serve.
