He assured the people that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would leave a legacy of performance after his tenure. He said Nigeria is a complex country and that many challenges being faced are being resolved.
Salako said, “When we got to the office, what we met was deplorable. As Minister of State for Environment, I have had to experience an embarrassing situation while attending an International event where I was told Nigeria was defaulting in her dues to the organisation. Things have changed as Nigeria is gradually moving away from such. For example, in the Ministry of Environment, we have been able to pay about 5 Million dollars as dues to some of the organisations that we are signatory to.”
