Does Nigeria Run Better Without Ministers? by nijabazaar: 7:09am On Aug 31, 2015
September is just a day away and Buhari still does not have ministers yet?

It is now three months since Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as president of Nigeria and five months since he won historic elections, the first time an opposition candidate had won.

His victory generated huge celebrations and expectations of a new beginning, with many anticipating dramatic changes to follow, and analysts urging him to “hit the ground running”.

Most Nigerians expected President Buhari to shake up the security services and make other key appointments in his first few days – as former President Olusegun Obasanjo did within hours of his inauguration in 1999.

But it took nearly two months for him to replace his security chiefs and so far he has only made appointments in about a dozen government offices.

Just after he took office in May, the senate said he was allowed to appoint 15 special advisers. Yet only a few have been appointed and there is currently no adviser on the national assembly to serve as a link between the executive and legislature.

This could be seen as a mistake given the current friction between the presidency and the senate over the election of the chamber’s president, who was not the ruling party’s chosen candidate.

However, it is not only the politicians who are in a limbo. Many sectors of the economy await policy direction. Following Mr Buhari’s pledges to make tackling corruption a priority, they want clarity on how to proceed. This is also making foreign investors wary.

The Permanent secretaries now seem somewhat powerful?
