The ministry’s commissioner, Bolaji Dada, expressed this in a statement signed by the Deputy Director of Public Affairs, Eloho Aggreh, on Tuesday in Lagos.

Ms Dada, while thanking God during the ministry’s first prayer session, attributed WAPA’s accomplishments last year to divine intervention, unity, and dedication of staff.

As we begin this new year, we have every reason to thank God for keeping us in good health, for a peaceful working environment, and for the victories we continue to experience. Let us continue to trust in Him as we strive for more success in 2025. This year, let us deepen our bond and work even harder for the remarkable achievements we are destined to accomplish.’’

Ms Dada commended the staff for their support and cooperation, emphasising the importance of team building, unity, and collaboration.

Also, Permanent Secretary of WAPA, Oluyemi Kalesanwo, called for continued dedication and collective efforts to achieve the ministry’s goals in 2025.

Ms Kalesanwo commended the commissioner for her visionary leadership and thanked God for the harmony and peace enjoyed in the ministry.
