It baffles me to no end, why a country as blessed in terms of human resources as Nigeria will continue to recycle one person over and over again.
Alhaji Rilwan Lukman has a postgraduate degree in Mineral Economics from McGill University in Canada. He has held several positions in the oil industry including the chairman of OPEC. This is a good credential, no doubt about that, but cant we have young, vibrant and articulate Nigerians who can also do this job. Alhaji has always been in Government since time immemorial, whether as an adviser or a minister.

The current heat generated by Alhaji's goof in demoting PTI to a college goes to show that he is out of touch with current happenings in the country.As if that was not enough, the new university will be sighted not only in the North, but in Alhaji's hometown of Kaduna.

Where did you get your info from? Lukman was trained at Imperial College one of the 'top' schools in the world as well as Bologna in Italy where he got a PhD. Other than that, Wikipedia (if we decide to believe what it tells us) states that he has some pretty heavy credentials. A Knight of the British Empire, A national Honour from France and Venezuela etc etc.
Based on qualifications (Bachelors, Masters, PhD), experience (OPEC boss for many years + minister of petroleum for many years too), politics (he is a northerner and has passed through many regimes) etc, there is NO ONE BETTER to run that ministry.
However, we are not looking at these things anylonger and there may be other equally qualified people with good credentials who can run that ministry. He is not the only one that has such qualifications and probably experience. Besides, like you said, the man is one of the old recycled people who should give way to younger and more vibrant minds. I am sure we are all tired of hearing this mans name over and over again. I have been hearing of him since the early 80's when i was still in primary school.

no he is self-servicer
