CLTJ spokesperson Barrister Moses Okino commended Yilwatda’s impressive qualifications, which include a PhD in Digital Systems Engineering, describing him as “an excellent fit” for the ministry.

Okino noted Yilwatda’s significant accomplishments, such as the creation of Nigeria’s first Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) and the World Bank-funded STEP-B project.

“He brings a renewed sense of hope to a ministry that has faced its share of controversies,” Okino said, alluding to previous scandals involving former ministers Betta Edu and Sadiya Farouq.

He emphasized Yilwatda’s reputation for transparency during his time at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), where he earned respect for his integrity.

The coalition is optimistic that Yilwatda’s expertise in digital systems and humanitarian efforts will enhance the ministry’s initiatives to combat food insecurity, disease outbreaks, and displacement.

“His dedication to the welfare of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and vulnerable communities is unparalleled,” Okino remarked, asserting that Yilwatda’s leadership could be transformative for Nigeria’s most at-risk populations.

The CLTJ encouraged Nigerians to support Yilwatda, expressing confidence that he would lead the way to a “new era of hope and progress.”
