There are indications that the immediate past Minister of Information and Communication, Professor Dora Akunyili may become the Minister of Federal Capital Territory when the Acting President re-constitutes his cabinet which was dissolved on Wednesday.

Reuters, quoting an unnamed presidency source, reports that Akunyili, the only member of the dissolved cabinet to criticise openly, the poor handling of Yar‘Adua‘s absence, has been pencilled down to take over as Minister for the Federal Capital Territory

The outgoing Minister of State for Petroleum, Mr. Odein Ajumogobia, according to the report, is likely to be chosen as the new Minister of Petroleum while the outgoing Minister of Defence, General Godwin Abbe (rtd), who has been leading the implementation of an amnesty programme in the restive Niger Delta, may also be reappointed to continue work on the programme
