Online Nigeria. Retrieved Daily Sun. Archived from the original on January 1, Cabinet of President Olusegun Obasanjo — Atiku Abubakar — Jerry Gana May —. Talking with Amb Kema has no dull moment. I challenged myself to take the position. It was an appointment actually which I believe was given to me based on merit and results from my previous appointments.

I served as the Minister for Transport and Aviation. Also, I contested for the office of the Governor, Imo State. Hard work, commitment to public service, and my result-oriented attitude have always propelled me. I am very grateful for all my accomplishments to date, some of which are my exposure to many years of public service and strong legacies.

As the Minister for Transport and Aviation, the reform projects spoke for themselves. As Transport Minister, we achieved 48 hours turnaround and 24 hours of port operations. While I was the Chairman of JAMB we embarked on the automation of the system and some of the results from this are the use of scratch cards for examinations. However, as a National Woman Leader, the adoption of the bill to mainstream disability in political parties was achieved.

The office of the National Woman Leader was institutionalized, a Gender audit was conducted and we developed programmes for women running for office.

From wherever you are, you can make meaningful contributions through the online platform. Leadership by Example What I can tell Nigerian leaders is that when you preach a policy you implement it. Leadership by example is very important. I am worried that there is a lot of tension in the country. This tension arises because of the huge gap between the rich and the poor.
