It is amazing the way Nigerian politicians see Nigeria problem, they always think that they can achieve something big through politics.
Nigeria power sector shouldn't be put in the hand of a lawyer, Agriculturalist. It is a sector that needs a complete overhaul.Though, it is not a rocket science to get it right, Its need a combination of policies, and full knowledge of technology, and Engineering of power generation, efficient transmission infrastructure, as well as sound distribution system. In the developed countries, the concept of Energy efficiency has always been a serious discussions, and of course they know its importance to employment generation. If a power sector of a country with the approximate population of 200 Millions people is a way below 10,000MW, this is indicative of lack of productivity, high unemployment rate, inefficient economy, poverty, and lack of responsibility.

Infact, it is something our government should tacked head on, and assign people with the right knowledge, internationally exposures, and of course with overall knowledge in this sector. I believe, this should be strategic, and ultimately be taken serious. Going through this portfolio, I dont see anything change in the power sector in the next 4 years, it seems to me that, everything was just a joke. We need to start given responsibility objectively, and shouldn't be based on political compensation. Well, I cant overrule the concept of political compensation, but it shouldn't be matched into the critical sector.

The power sector in Nigeria only should be generating millions of jobs. At every stage of the power system, there is opportunity for economic prosperity, and its only call for the right policies, and huge investment in the sector. The power infrastructure is nothing to write home about, the grid is worn out, loses at every stages, the distribution cannot even be explained by the ordinary people, maybe by the spiritual power governing the energy sector in Nigeria you can get a proper and useless explanation.

Honestly, it cant work fine, because you cant give what you dont have. I am really disappointed that Nigerian will keep on wallowing in this state with no sound economic blueprint, and in a state of total despair surrounded by abject poverty, environmental noise of I "pass my neighbor".

BafanaBafana:
i heard he ran under one of these small parties and won and is currently a member. Abi no be so?

LKO:


George Akume is minister for special duties and inter governmental affairs. Not foreign affairs, I checked it on Femi Adesina facebook update.

symbianDON:
this list goes to further buttress the fact that buhari doesn't really know what he's doing

mcbreeze:
What's the different between minister of information and minister of communication?

Bimpe29:


How can you give Kaduna and Kano States two substantive portfolios each?
Please look at George Akume's portfolio and justify the necessity and function of such ministry in the context of having The Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Buhari's appointments have always been lopsided and sentimental.

Avedonn:
Square peg in a round hole.

Seriously I'm very disappointed with Buhari. Especially his choice of minister of petroleum. He appointed someone that has no clue about the the downstream sector and expect the person to perform?

Indeed we're in for a long thing for the next four year.

DonFreshmoney:


Add Katsina too.. Aviation and Petroleum (Buhari).. meaning Kano Kaduna and Katsina has 6 senior ministers
