Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Nobody: 4:22pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Nigeria's acting President Goodluck Jonathan has sworn in members of his new cabinet. A senior executive at the investment bank Goldman Sachs, Olusegun Aganga, has been appointed finance minister. Thirteen members of the new cabinet are from the dissolved government, Reuters reports. Mr Jonathan has placed former Mines Minister Deziani Allison-Madueke in charge of the country's oil ministry, a key post in the oil-rich state. Mr Jonathan has outlined his main priorities as electoral reforms, security in the oil-producing Niger Delta, providing a more reliable power supply and fighting corruption. In March, Mr Jonathan dissolved the entire cabinet and made new nominations, most of which were accepted by Nigeria's senate last week. The new cabinet is expected to remain in place until elections due next year. These are due in April but could be held in January. President Umaru Yar'Adua has not been seen in public since he fell ill in November 2009. source |

"I will hate to disappoint you but I will hate even more to disappoint the nation," Jonathan said. He also told the new ministers that he expected efficiency and results. "No minister will be allowed to go on a mission of endless search for solutions," Jonathan said. "You must hit the ground running. Time is of fundamental essence and no distraction in our mission will be tolerated." http://www.seattlepi.com/business/1310ap_af_nigeria_president.html |

@Dis Guy thanks for the full list |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Nobody: 4:51pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Regardless of any reservations, the Commander-in-chief has spoken and this is his honeymoon period so lets see whether they produce results. We have to live with it cos the bucks stops at his table. Shocked about Bello Adoke (But surely Jonathan Knows something we dont know) Happy with Daizani Allison (Thought there is something fundamentally wrong if a former Shell Director and Bayelsa lady is being bullied and prevented from emerging as Petroleum Minister, I applaud Jonathan for showing he is ready to take big decisions and stand by them.) But all in all, GOODLUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to the new team |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Beaf: 4:58pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
I would have loved Chris Ogiemwinyi as petroleum minister. The choice of Aganga as finance minister is most welcome. Now that there's a high flier manning the show, Sanusi's rusty butt is bound to get kicked. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Demdem(m): 5:01pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
This issue of junior minister (minister of state) does pisses me off anytime i come across it. The question is are they really needed? Sheer waste of scarce resources. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Fhemmmy: 5:02pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
So now let them all get to work and get stuff done. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Kx: 5:07pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Dora,Aganga and Allison-well deserved. Isa Ibrahim in sports after failing on works abi roads,sa2010,no hope. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by vigasimple(m): 5:09pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
mikeansy: I agree with you. The only disappointment is the AGF. but goodluck to Goodluck since we don't know what he knows and why he made that decision. He should have make sure there is no BENUE connection with AGF and EFCC with Waziri and Idonkia antecedent including IBORI at the helm. On another level SHARAREPORTERS Got it RIGHT again. Kudos to those guys. |

Thank God a woman is in education, i pray she does something very fast |

benedictac: Sexisttt |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Nobody: 5:24pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Beaf: O'lboy, you are surely getting excited with this your anticipated clash of ideas between these two men. Aren't you? I will advise you tone down your expectations. That I think is the reasonable thing to do for now. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Golfer: 5:43pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Goodluck is Power Minister. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Nchara: 5:44pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
A few round pegs in square holes and a few square pegs in round holes. What does Fidelia Nteje know about Aviation? What does Iheanacho know about Interior? What does Kayode know about Defence? What is an Architect doing at the power ministry? Who is the FCT minister? Who is Madueke's deputy? Hm! |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by naso2(m): 5:46pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
I am not comfortable with the defence team at all. As someone rightly said Aganga will be able to curb SLS's youthful excesses. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Golfer: 5:50pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Goodluck is Power Minister. He has decided to personally take responsibility for delivering power to the people. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Nobody: 5:56pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Thank God Olasukumi is back to Youths. He has a really good blue print, one of the first Ministers of Youths who understands what the job entails. We will move forward because we have come a long way with the Youth Employement Action Plan. Hopefully, we will complete it before he leaves I rememeber when Dora was posted to Information the first time, I was one of those insulting and shouting to her to resign, she said God has a Purpose and now I see she was right, if she was not in Information when all these happeed, things may have turned out differently |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Nobody: 6:34pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Just a quicky people. . . . . Does the CBN Governor answer to the Finance Minister? |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by bibiking1(m): 6:37pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
oh!!,,*yawns* pretty boring list i have here,,why was i even looking for some form of exciting portfolio arrangement sef? I have absolutely no faith in this new team bringing about the desired results. Unnecessary optimism has always been the bane of the average Nigerian citizen, and the many shouts of 'hurray' is really making me wan! I would however keep waiting for Yar'Adua to call on the indigenous Traditional practitioners and marabouts for a meeting. That should bring some real kicks to the economy.,,hehehe! Stale country! |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by illusion2: 6:48pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
I'll adopt a 'wait & see' attitude. For all those complaining about a Minister not knowing 'anything' about a minstry. You are probably misinformed. A Minister doesn't have to be a Dr to manage the Health Ministry,or be an Engineer to manage Minstry of Works. As a matter of fact Minster of Justice (where its separate from Attorney-General) need not be a lawyer . . . yes you read right ! Just as Govs don't have to be political science or public admin graduates. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Beaf: 6:51pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
bibiking1: Oh! And you think land, air and water winshes, Okija and Jankara operatives / representatives should be left out? No way! |

Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by OAM4J: 7:09pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Am not impressed but am also not too disappointed. Aganga is excellent in finance Have no problem with Allison Madueke as Petroleum Minister. Given the right support, I think she will perform (Congrats to her, if my memory serves me right, think she is the 1st female minister in that ministry) Odein Ajumogobia, thought will be better as Min of Petroleum, but as still ok by me in foreign affairs, to clear all the mess Madueke left behind Dora, thought Jo will give her a change. Just hope she has learnt her lessons and will do better this time. What is the rationale behind Adetokunbo and Yaradua in defense? Education: dont know her, but hopes she performs well. Education ministry needs a change of direction after Sam Egu mess. Sanusi Dagash must deliver. Especially on roads. Power: Who is this Nuhu Somo Wya? I hope Jonathan knows that Power will be one area he will be highly judged. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by safeact(m): 7:12pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Mute! Hop they keep to their promises and oath! Just HOPING shaa. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Fhemmmy: 7:13pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
safeact: Like the Oath mean anything to them, i bet you most dont even know the meaning of the Oath they took |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by OAM4J: 7:16pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Beaf: Nice speech. Now let them get down to business. As they would be judged by their performances & results. |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Fhemmmy: 7:21pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
MrPrsdent: If he means all these, that will be great . . . .and hope they will listen to him |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by biina: 7:42pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Beaf:and if it doesnt? BTW no one is complaining that both ministers for finance are from the southwest, but if they were from the north, una go dey shout federal character |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by oduz: 7:57pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
Labaran Maku is somebody I am HOPEFUL will not disappoint. An energetic fairly young man in his 40s. A UniJos bred activist, who was sacked at Champion Newspapers directly by the Publisher, for his alleged 'pro June 12 reports' which was simply another name for bitter truths then. He has since served his state in various capacities before his current appointment. I pray our current national challenges brings out the best in him[color=#006600][/color] |
Re: Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List) by Jarus(m): 7:59pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
AgricultureKnow nothing about these men, but think they should deliver. 2.JusticeKnow nothing about this too, but think he should ahve left Adetokunboh as MOJ&AG 3. AviationKnow nothing about this too. 4.Commerce & IndustryThe ministry aside, I'm not impressed with his bringing back Martins Kuye, who has been a Minister before, and a 'career politician'. Think he would ahve done better using those industrialists in NACCIMMA or MAN or state CIMAs. This Tapgun too appears like someone appointed based primarily of politics symptahy/consideration. But I amy be proved wrong. 5.Culture & TourismDark horse 6.EducationRecall reading this woman's interview sometime last year, and impressed. She appears passionate about education and should be well-intentioned. We can only she's not overwhelmed 7.FCTSenator go, Senator come, FCT remain! 8.EnvironmentKnow little about this too. Can't comment 9.FinanceMuch has been said about Mr Aganga as another Okonjo Iweala. All eyes will surely be on him. I'm tired of seeing Remi Babalola as junior minister. This man is better than many Senior minister. He was junior to Usman, yet overshadowed him. He was also made Junior to Muhtar, yet almsot overshadowed him. I honestly prefer him as Finance Minister, even ahead of Aganga. 10.Foreign AffairsWith Ajumogobia, I think our foreign relations is in good hands. 11.HealthKnow nothing about Bello, but Idi Hong was said to have done well in the last cabinet. 12. Information & CommunicationDora again. No cooment! Labaran: I learnt the man fit talk well well. I learnt he did well at Senate screening. 13.InteriorKnow nothing about the duo, so can't comment. 14.Labour & ProductivityDitto 15.Mines & Steel DevelopmentDitto 16.Niger Delta AffairsOrubebe comes across as a man fit for this job. Waiting to see if I'm right 17.Petroleum ResourcesSomething keeps telling me this woman will perform. But wait, was she not the woman that broke into tears when she saw the Benin/Somewhere expressway? Then, I hope she doesn't die of HBP a la Abubakar Rimi if she sights the rot in this ministry. 18.DefenceThis Kayode appears as a man who can fit anywhere. I expect him to perform. 19.PowerWas this guy not junior minister in the last cabinet? Power, hmmnn power, the hydra-headed power, I'm off to pray for him. God help him! 20.Police AffairsMinistries like this are not easy to access. Hardly will anyone know whether he's working or not. IG takes the blame or praise. 21.Science and TechnologyDon't know him. 22.Special DutiesWell, this is no big job, and this fomer Navy should be able to do this with ease. 23.TransportDon't know this one too. 24.Youth DevelopmentThis Osun guy appears doing well since given that job. Probably the more reason why GJ gave him the job back. 25.Women AffairsA professional PDP politician. Anyway, not a big ministry. 26.National Planning CommissionWhy! Why! Why! I have known Usman for more than a decade and used to respect him when he was CBN Deputy Governor. But I was disappointed at his performance in Finance Ministry. Not sure he was any better in NP. If I were GJ, I will not re-appoint him. 27.National Sports CommissionThis my state man. I don't know what he knows about or his passion for sports. So, still keeping a sealed lips. 28.WorksLike Martins Kuye, I would not have appointed Daggash too, someone who was once or even twice Minister. 29.Lands, Housing & Urban DevelopmentAnother drak horse. Well, hope he has the power and passion of Michael essien, else this ministry might be too big fro him. |
