“I understand that Nigeria has completed its assignment and is ready to submit final report to the Council of Ministers. As APPO ministers meet to deliberate on the report today, I urge you all to be objective and put the general interest of all above the interest of one.

“You have very important decisions to take, decisions that may make or mar the organisation.
