President Muhammadu Buhari may soon carry out a minor cabinet shake-up with the imminent exit of the Minister of Environment, Amina Mohammed, from his administration, THE PUNCH has learnt.
Our correspondent however learnt on Sunday that the exercise might not be carried out until early next year when Mohammed is expected to leave.
The Secretary-General-elect of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, was said to have appointed the minister as his Deputy.
A government source told our correspondent that Mohammed had already made the development known to Buhari and some of her colleagues.
“For her, she would have loved to stay back and continue to serve this administration but this new appointment is a big one and is also good for her. Unfortunately for us, she has to leave in January,” the source said.
Mohammed who represents Gombe State in the cabinet acted as the Senior Special Assistant to the President of Nigeria on the Millennium Development Goals after serving three presidents over a period of six years.
In 2005, she was charged with the coordination of Nigeria’s debt relief funds toward the achievement of the MDGs.
From 2002-2005, Mohammed coordinated the Task Force on Gender and Education for the UN Millennium Project.
By the time she will be leaving the cabinet in January, the number of vacant positions in the cabinet would have risen to two.
Since the March 6 death of a former Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Mr. James Ocholi (SAN), Buhari has yet to name a replacement for the politician.
The situation is already causing agitation among groups and individuals from Kogi State where the deceased hailed from.
Ocholi died alongside his wife and son in an auto crash that occurred on March 6 on the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway.
Since his death, Kogi State has remained without a representative in the Federal Executive Council.
This is contrary to the provision of the Constitution that stipulates that all the 36 states of the federation must be represented in the cabinet.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Sunday said Mohammed remained a minister.
Shehu said any development on the matter would be formally conveyed to Nigerians.
“There is a lot of exuberance on the Internet concerning a UN job for Mrs. Amina Mohammed. She remains our Minister of Environment.
“If there is anything on this that is released officially, we will let Nigerians know. I’m pleased to know that she enjoys so much goodwill,” the presidential spokesman wrote on his Facebook page on Sunday.

A right step in the right direction.No.2 position in the UN hierarchy....

On the contrary,3 ministers that must be sacked include:

Adeosun aka Mama K
Dalung aka Baba D
Dambazau aka Baba Bello

(2)
Split Fashola's ministry. The 3 crosses are just to heavy to be carried alone.

On a final note WE NEED PROACTIVE MINISTERS!!!

Good luck to her

Pls he shouldn't stop with her.

Any list of ministers to be sacked won't be complete without that useless sports minister.

The man is an embarrassment... totally useless

She is taking style to escape the harsh reality of bu bu's administration.

Wise Woman, She doesn't want the Incompetence of this current Government to tarnish her reputation

Good morning brother

Why did she apply for the vacant position? You mean she cannot reject a UN appointment?

that's nice.

Happy for her

one of the very few active ministers who bubu wasted six months before appointing them into ministries

noise makers he says they are

the rest are either ;

threatening parents not to criticise unity school or having their wards removed

telling victorious falcons that they didn't expect them to win, so nothing was budgeted for them

fighting vigorously to increase data tariff

telling Nigerians they like rice to much

or like one who shares his name with a popular beer, virtually non existent!!

These ministers are just using buhari's appointments to while away time till the main deal comes

actions speak louder than voice. act first

what do you expect from her, when she is being lead by a clueless, incompetent, bigot who dose not listen to the advice of an economist other than his own decision..........................buhari will belike...........O. my God the only competent minister in my cabinent.............Osibade pls advice me

Can someone get us source from UN?

The Money will be used by Babachir Lawal to cut grass in the whole Federation

Buhari will use some to travel to some countries that sound like musical lyrics like St Kitts, Belize, Tonga, Barbados


Fashola will build 2billion website for information about the whole dams in Nigeria


Fayemi can't wait to buy a new gold bed 2017 edition


Adeosun will get the latest Hair Relaxer from the money. 2017 edition


Aisha buhari will use it to buy the latest Coco Chanel handbag. Do you know about Chanel bags? NO because you stay in Kano

You are obviously a superb block head but let me help you obtain a bit of clarity!



Do you think you can compare being the deputy secretary general of the UN to being a minister of a country like nigeria? Do you think the perks, influence and objectives can ever be on the same strata?

You must not insult me bro.... Thanks. But if you really want to bring a change to your country you can reject such an appointment. Goodluck
