He reportedly disclosed this when he visited the ministry shortly after he was inaugurated and assigned portfolio alongside other ministers by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Aregbesola said apart from newspapers stories about the ministry he had no idea of its policies and operations.
“My relationship with the ministry is distant. What I know about the ministry is what I read in the newspapers,” he said.
He, however, instructed the Permanent Secretary, Barr. Georgina Ehuriah, who had been in charge since the dissolution of the last cabinet, to continue running the ministry until Monday when he will formally take over.
“I will come to take over on Monday. I give the Permanent Secretary the grace to run the ministry till then. We will be ready by Monday to take on the huge assignment and I promise you a realistic, reasonable and commendable leadership,” the former Osun State governor concluded.
