Nigeria’s Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, has publicly praised the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, describing him with several affectionate names while commending his work in office.
In a post on her X account on Tuesday, Musawa called Keyamo her “ride or die”, “5 and 6”, “seat mate”, “true and tried”, “partner in crime”, “day one”, “real one”, “friend”, “bestie” and “brother”.
Expressing her pride in him, she wrote, “I am so proud of you my dear brother @fkeyamo.
“You are, without doubt, one of the best performing public servants #Nigeria has produced.
“Thank you for your service my brother!”
Her post featured several warm expressions that showed her personal regard for Keyamo and appreciation of his service to the country.
Both ministers serve in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet, with Musawa overseeing the creative sector and Keyamo leading the aviation ministry. They have often been seen together at public functions.
Recently, they were named keynote speakers at the 9th National Tourism Transportation Summit and Expo (NTTSummit). The announcement was made in Abuja by Chief Abiodun Odusanwo, National President of the Institute for Tourism Professionals of Nigeria (ITPN) and Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Organising Committee.
Keyamo’s selection followed his appointment by the African Development Bank as African Champion for the Integrated Aviation Transformation Programme for Africa (IATP). Musawa, meanwhile, discussed ways to grow domestic and international tourism by improving transportation networks.
On Monday, both ministers also attended the maiden Seyi Tinubu Colloquium, held to mark his 41st birthday.
