Furthermore, the transport expert expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of a former Osun state governor and incumbent minister of marine and blue economy, Adegboyega Oyetola.

He said:

“The ministry of marine and blue economy should be scrapped and merged with the ministry of transportation."Let’s be honest with ourselves, since the minister of marine and blue economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, assumed office, what has he achieved? Nothing, just jamboree, it should go back to the ministry of transportation."

Fatobilola added:

“A few months ago at the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria, we told the minister of marine and blue economy that the only way to bring positive change is to address the fluctuating exchange rate. Since then, he has not done anything.”
