With the history of poor, erratic and unsteady power supply associated with past governments, even Maitama residents would be anticipating the APC trademark 'Change' to sweep across the ministry of power and somehow or anyhow solve the problem of nonexistent power supply in most parts of the country.
Alas, Buhari, today decided to name former Lagos State governor, Mr Raji Babatunde Fashola as the minister of merged former Ministries of Power, Works and Housing.
From a progressive perspective every sensible Nigerian would agree that this is a very big mistake from our president. The ministry of Work and Housing alone is a deserving ministry for a person of Fashola's calibre and administrative prowess to pilot, likewise Power. Heading the Ministry of Works and Housing in Nigeria is very cumbersome and almost equivalent to the numerous tasks he faced as the Governor of Lagos State were he had commissioners who were accountable to him, let alone Power being added to this workload of a Portfolio.
I'm tempted to ask, did Buhari seek advice and make proper consultation before handing these merged portfolio to Mr Fashola? If he did, what were his findings? Which people supported his merging of these ministries?(they should be named so we can know those who indirectly oppose our progress)
In a nutshell, it was unexpected, unprogressive, nonsensical and most especially, unacceptable merging of this work laden ministries and handing it over to one man considering the immediate change Nigerians are expecting in the power sector. Buhari should separate this ministries and make Mr Fashola a minister to one of them.

It would be inevitable hearing APC faithfuls say, "after all it is merged ministry, and as such presents a herculean task to the government in bringing a reasonable level of change to what we had in the previous administrations who are responsible for the majority of ruins in the ministries.

WE DO NOT WANT EXCUSES!
The merged ministry for Power, Works and Housing is no doubt a herculean ministry, and as such needs a Hercules to man it; Fashola has just been made the Defacto Prime Minister of Nigeria. Something you need to understand however is that Buhari wasn't joking when he called the ministers "Noise Makers." The ministries have now been repositioned in such a way that the permanent secretaries would be very powerful and would be the ones doing most of the work, even while the ministers would only just report as noise makers to Nigerians and the presidency.

OP when will your wailing stop

Fash is more than capable to handle the portfolio. Therefore, stop wailing and face your gala sales biz.

He's not talking about Fashola's Capability, he's talking about how urgent the need to revamp the power sector is, it is in a total state of Comatose, hence the need for a dedicated sole administrator to handle the Ministry solely. Just like say Ministry of Petroleum, [b][/b]MINES AND STEEL (SOLID MINERALS). Don't you think it is too much for one person to handle?

There is no big deal with clamouring for Fashola to get either of those offices, but handling both of them, surely, will have a lot of distractions which can directly slow down the change needed in those ministries.

Please, No hard feelings for Fashola.

I beg to disagree bro.

Power, works and housing may seem huge but but the fact is still that it will have permsecs, and senior member of the ministries, and heads of different departments which makes it look similar but smaller in nature to a state that has up to 20commisioners.

If fasola could handle the most complex metropolitan city in Africa and one on the most complex in the world, I think these three he can do well.

To remind you.

Lagos state had under it,

Transport(almost as complex as federal roads).

Security (more complex than any other state in Nigeria and even more than some regions).

Commerce (bigger than that of NC, NE)

Works

Housing (more complex than NE, NC)

Finance

And a host of others that are more complex than that of some regions.

Fasola handled them. I'm sure he should be able to manage them.

The only one I think PMB fumbled is the James Ocholi of a guy. Though the guy seems very passionate about PMBs success but after reading the guy's antecedents and clients, he deserves nothing close to our judiciary.

Then again, I trust PMB to boot him out if he fumbles.

I totally agree with you on this. Buhari has taken over the petroleum sectoe and that sector belong to the 5% region. That is one of the most important sector from where you become a bellioniare as he did when he was a minsiter of petroluem and ptdf. Fashola, a yoruba man is also given another powerful money making sectors so that he will in turn give the entire budget to his two bosses, Buhari and Thieffnubu. Apc and Buhari are the biggest thieves. Buhari from this five months is the most foolish and worst dunce. How on earth can an individual who claimed to be normal give three most complex sectors to one individual if not for the purpose of stealling. Tufiakwa again to Buhari.

When people like yourself claim the Ministry is too big for one man to handle, Can I ask a simple question.

Is Nigeria too big or two small to be handled by one President?! Or is the Ministry bigger than Nigeria being overseen by one man.

I believe what matter most is the ability and charismma of the person in charge. Thats why there is a state minnister to always assist and compliment him.

The politics behind the appointment of fashola as a minister in charge of 3 strongest ministries goes beyond the capabilities or ability of fasola . It is about handing over a massive war chest to tinubu faction of the apc . It is also a sign of trust to the Yorubas ny buhari. Fashola will have 3 minister of states to assist him soni believe he will do well. The south west also got the health and finance ministries .this wont go down well with the north .i believe the last hasn't been heard about this appointments and its effects. But the good thing is work has fully started now and no more dumb stupid statements and comments from garba shehu and Femi adeshina

I think hed did. I was surprised when he made that announcement. Either ministry is quite challenging and really there is no strategic fit between both areas. Totally different objectives.
Power is our biggest challenge. Merging it with a tasking ministry shows a lack of understamding of the challenge. The reason we have very poor power us fue to that faulty privatization. Not realing that is quite worrisome.

It is time for him to repair all roads and give 24hrs light to nigerians within the next four years. He is a Superman and I trust him.
