He also promised to extend rail lines to all parts of the country.
Amaechi gave this assurance during his first day in office as a minister shortly after his inauguration by President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on Wednesday.
He said that he would resume work fully on Nov. 17 when the new Permanent Secretary, Mr Sabiu Zakari, would equally assume duty at the ministry.
The minister added that his meeting with the Permanent Secretary and the Directors on Nov. 17 would begin by looking at the budget and its level of implementation.
The new minister enjoined all staff from all parastatals and agencies of the ministry and the aviation sector to cooperate with him.
He promised to ensure a smooth working relationship with the Minister of State for Aviation for the development of the sector as well as meeting the expectations of Nigerians.
The minister also urged the staff to always play by the rule, adding that “I believe in principles of discharging my duties.”
“We are interested in completing all ongoing rail projects around the country because we don’t want to disappoint Nigerians.
“It is important that we realise that we have a mandate to deliver on our promises and there is competition among the ministers to deliver and we don’t want to take last.”
