Today marks exactly one year that President Muhammadu Buhari swore in his ministers, months after he assumed office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Though there was popular outcry over the delay of the president to name his cabinet, the official excuse was that he was assembling a crack team into his cabinet so as to properly deliver on the change his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, promised Nigerians.
However, a year after the appointment and swearing in of the cabinet, there have been calls for the sack of some of the ministers and a cabinet shakeup in the face of daunting economic challenges.
Though the Presidency has not been forthcoming in acceding to this call, there is the belief in many quarters that the inability of the Buhari government to deliver on its promises is largely due to the composition of the President’s cabinet.
In view of the repeated calls for the sack of some ministers and a shakeup of the cabinet, Ripples Nigeria undertakes a review of the performance of the Buhari cabinet one year after to determine if the calls are justified or not.
However, while there are divergent views and reasons advanced for the cabinet sack ranging from personal, political and competence/performance, Ripples Nigeria presents a scorecard of some of the critical ministries and prominent figures in the Buhari led administration.
Works, Power and Housing
The appointment of the former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola as the Minister of Works, Power and Housing came to many as a surprise, not because of the person assigned to the offices but because many Nigerians felt it was too much for one person to handle.

THE NIGERIA SOLUTION: A MIND RE-DRIVE
Greetings to You Dear Mr. President, our Political Office Holders and my Fellow Nigerians, I suggest we make the best use of this tenure to fix the basic FOUNDATIONAL PROBLEM to all our problems as an emerging Great Country: the AVERAGE NIGERIAN MINDSET! Here we can fix the many issues of our Country by using 'ONE STONE to kill a thousand birds'.
Nigeria was not as bad as this, we started becoming like this when we started *THINKING WRONGLY *
Let us use the MIND RE-DRIVE STRATEGY. This is by renewing the minds of Nigerians (as many are with respect to Integrity, corrupt) through an AGGRESSIVE value reorientation campaign using all forms of Public and Private Agencies and media; Tv, radio, internet Print media, even the movies, musical artistes etc.
If the President through his powers ( with our Governors and other Political office holders) together with the teeming population can reproduce an 'Integrity' mindset in the average citizen, his work will be made much more easy in fixing Nigeria, cutting down the giant tree of Nigeria problems from its MAIN ROOT.
'Get a person to think of doing a thing AND he will ACTUALLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY do it.' Get the Nigerian person to think of doing the right thing righlty AND he will ACTUALLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY do the right thing rightly.'
Then will we have many 'high integrity persons' almost everywhere, fixing Nigeria. This way, the 'REAL POSITIVE CHANGE' will be deeply entrenched and sustainable for future generations.
It will surely take us time and much sacrifice, but we will get there if we persist!
A tree cannot make a forest alone, BUT CAN, through reproduction. Just Imagine if every Nigerian was thinking and acting with integrity at the various levels of our society, how our Country will be, Paradise!
If we fix our 'Integrity' values as individuals and as a Country, God helping us; Nigeria will become Paradise! _St. Nom S.
Pls share till it reaches everyone, We can be Great again, even Greater than ever before!!
