To be fair to these two guys, and I am not a fan of Maduweke, (he is as worthless as Aondoakaa) but being notified of a meeting within 10 minutes of the meeting with an European Investment Bank by phone does not seem that there is enough or appropriate time to have this on their respective schedule.  Also, wouldn't or shouldn't Maduweke be involved in any arrangement with any foreign companies/government/investors that are trying to do business with Nigeria?

I was beginning to praise the Vice President until I read the reason the two ministers gave for their tardiness. If the newspaper reported correctly that t[b]he ministers were informed minutes before the meeting[/b], then I'd have to disagree that it showed Mr. Jonathan's discipline. I thought it was insensitive and disrespectful to [b]give a minister just ten minutes to arrive [/b]at an unscheduled meeting that was not a state emergency.

I would imagine that ministers have daily itineraries and are not just sitting on their rear waiting to be called at the VP’s behest. Even the CEO of my company would have his secretary schedule a meeting with me based on my availability. If he always had to summon me 10 minutes before an unscheduled meeting, then he had to realize that I would be either late or I would keep interrupting important projects to attend to him.

And you believe that crap?

Beaf:

The incident led to an unusual punctuality in attendance at the next day’s Federal Executive Council meeting as ministers rushed to avoid Jonathan’s wrath.

Afam:

Can someone that understands english language explain the reproduced content above to me?

I have been trying to read meaning into this without success.

I don't think the content makes any sense since the FEC meeting won't be happening unti tomorrow.

Imeobong:

In the first instance, he shelved a scheduled meeting of the Economic Management Team because some principal participants, including the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr. Odein Ajumogobia, were late.

slap1:

^^ sorry for u , too.

On his part, Babalola explained that he was not aware of the meeting until he was informed about it through a telephone call just about 10 minutes before it was scheduled to commence.

Seun:

If the meeting was scheduled within 10 minutes, how come the other ministers were there?
How come they were all punctual during the next meeting? Why do we tolerate excuses??[/quote


Remi Babalola amd Maduekwe must be specal ministers even though they've both faild woefully in their respective portfolio.
They are all notified way ahead of the meeting.I just hope Jonathan will straighten these flagrant ministers up a bit.
