Adebayo Shittu - A Lawyer As Minister For Communications: Wither Engineers? by cuteboy2: 7:27pm On Feb 11, 2016 |
Adebayo Shittu is Buhari's minister for communications. He graduated with a law degree from University of Ife. Adebayo has been a career politician all his working life. Communication Ministerial slot has traditionally been occupied by professional engineers, especially those with degrees in electrical/electronics due to the specialist and highly technical nature of the ministry. During military era, they were always careful to post a military officer from signals corp to run that ministry. Why is Buhari bucking the trend? In this era where telecommunication has moved to new realms of tele-presence, cloud computing, and super fast broad-band internet services as the bedrock of modern life, what do we gain by putting a lawyer in that post who will just be like a fish out of water when dealing with issues in in telecoms? Even engineers in other disciplines like Mechanical, Civil, or Chemical find it almost impossible to understand talk less of keeping up with the fast pace of changes in the telecommunication space, a lawyer stands abosultely no chance. This is just jobs for the boys. Once again Engineers have been given a big slap in he face and relegated to irrelevance. You can never see an engineer or architect being appointed as Attorney General & Minster for Justices. NBA will break our ear drums with protest.

One major problem with this country is that we never seem to get things done in the right way. An engineer with sound skills and years of experience should be able to mount that post comfortably. I hope that it changes though. |
