Shehu also quoted Buhari commending Amaechi “for working with enormous energy to make the change we promised Nigerians a reality”
The presidential spokesman added that the Minister of Water Resources, Sulaiman Adamu; Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, alongside him will represent Buhari at the ceremony.
