“My job is to serve the President, and my responsibility is clear. The President leads the team, and we function as he directs,” Bwala stated. He described his appointment as a continuation of his predecessor’s efforts, reiterating the administration’s goal of serving the people and fulfilling the President’s objectives.

Bwala underscored the constitutional framework guiding his role, referencing Section 5 of the Nigerian Constitution, which places executive powers in the hands of the President. “We are all colleagues in this administration, but ultimately, as appointees, we are servants of the President,” he remarked.
