Hello, it seems to me GEJ loves setting-up committees at the slightest opportunity. This thread is meant for us to list those committees, identify their 'terms of reference' and assess the results they have achieved in terms of the government adopting their recommendations and implementing them.

I acknowledge that a similar thread was created in June and want to borrow this list from its starter.

apoti: Isaac Osuoka once said "Anytime Jonathan sets up a committee, you know the man is not serious. Or he just doesn’t care". It now seems that statement is very true.

If we rate the performance of a president only by the number of committees/boards/task-forces inaugurated then Uncle Jona will surely be the best president in the world. What are the outcomes of these committees unfortunately they have not had any direct impact on the lives of Nigerians

I tried to compile the list of committees/boards/task-forces (in no particular order)set up by President Jonathan in the last one year below:

1. Subsidy reinvestment board
2. Committee on post-election violence
3. Committee to identify leakages and waste in the Ministries, Departments and Agencies
4. Committee for airport upgrading
5. Justice Alfa Belgore committee
6. Presidential Committee on Award of Post-Graduate Scholar-ship to first class graduates
7. Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies
8. Committee to negotiate with the radical Islamist sect Boko Haram
9. Committee to ratify FG contracts and procurements
10.Pensions Reform Task Force
11.Committee on transparency in the oil sector
12.committee set up to decongest the ports
13.Committee to monitor oil exports
14.committee saddled with the responsibility of expelling all unqualified students from the school
15.inter-ministerial committee to work out modalities for University lecturers to have a minimum PhD qualification
16.NDDC fact- finding committee
17.Presidential committee on road infrastructure
18.Presidential committee on restructuring and rationalisation of the Federal Civil Service

President Jonathan Inaugurates NDDC Advisory
Committee.
MARCH 2012 ECONOMIC CONFIDENTIAL

President Goodluck Jonathan today inaugurated an 11-man advisory committee comprising nine Governors of the Niger- Delta States and two others as members with the mandate of advising the Federal Government, the governing board as well as monitoring the commission's activities in order to assist in realising its objectives.

The President stated that the inauguration was
part of the administration's holistic measure
aimed at strengthening the commission and
ensuring that "the entire membership of the
board functions with an uncommon sense of
duty, responsibility and accountability".
The President who expressed concern about the lingering managerial challenges in the
commission which he stated have hindered the
commission from actualising its mandate of
bringing the needed development to the region
however expressed hope that the members of the advisory committee will bring their wealth of experience to bear in tackling the region's
perculiar challenges.

"As stakeholders in the development of the Niger- Delta, I expect you to bring to bear on the board your wealth of experience and knowledge of the peculiar challenges in the region''.He stated.

The members are; Governors Godwill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Seriake
Dickson of Bayelsa and Liyel Imoke of Cross
River. Others are; Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta, Adams Oshimohle of Edo, Ameachi of Rivers, Rochas Okorocha of Imo and Mimiko of Ondo State respectively. Minister of Niger-Delta, Godsday Orubebe and Senator Aniekan Okon are the other members of the committee.

^ As a Nigerian, do you think that after the creation of a Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and the NDDC, GEJ still needs a committee to advise him on how to develop the Niger Delta especially with the fact that he is from that region?

View http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niger_Delta_Ministry for some background. We can highlight and discuss other committees as well.
