of the Year Award.
The vote tally saw Keyamo beating the Federal Capital
Territory Minister, His Excellency Nyesome Wike and Minister of Internal
Affairs, Mr. Tunji Ojo to second and 3rd position respectively.
Votes were weighed on Key Performance Index (KPIs) of
the various ministries, that formed the metrics to measure the ministers
performances.
The award to Keyamo as Minister of Aviation and
Aerospace Development, is in recognition of the visible changes and innovations
