Isaac Osuoka once said "Anytime Jonathan sets up a committee, you know the man is not serious. Or he just doesn’t care". It now seems that statement is very true.

If we rate the performance of a president only by the number of committees/boards/task-forces inaugurated then Uncle Jona will surely be the best president in the world. What are the outcomes of these committees unfortunately they have not had any direct impact on the lives of Nigerians

I tried to compile the list of committees/boards/task-forces (in no particular order)set up by President Jonathan in the last one year below:

1. Subsidy reinvestment board
2. Committee on post-election violence
3. Committee to identify leakages and waste in the Ministries, Departments and Agencies
4. Committee for airport upgrading
5. Justice Alfa Belgore committee
6. Presidential Committee on Award of Post-Graduate Scholar-ship to first class graduates
7. Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies
8. Committee to negotiate with the radical Islamist sect Boko Haram
9. Committee to ratify FG contracts and procurements
10.Pensions Reform Task Force
11.Committee on transparency in the oil sector
12.committee set up to decongest the ports
13.Committee to monitor oil exports
14.committee saddled with the responsibility of expelling all unqualified students from the school
15.inter-ministerial committee to work out modalities for University lecturers to have a minimum PhD qualification
16.NDDC fact- finding committee
17.Presidential committee on road infrastructure
18.Presidential committee on restructuring and rationalisation of the Federal Civil Service

LOL!

He is in what year now?

Special Presidential "food advisory" committee to officially decide on whether the Presidency must whack Gucci Rice or DKNY Potatoes.

How about a committee to find out why other committees have not worked.

afam4eva: How about a committee to find out why other committees have not worked.

Shortly after, that committee will also need another committee to explain it's failure to find out why other committees have failed

To be fair to Gej, some of the committees have come up with some pretty good recommendations(eg the Danjuma panel.

The problem is usually with implementation.

But of course a majority of the other committees are simply time wasters

Committees are set up on everything and they get paid at the expense of what ever they are working on yet no result and when the results come the govt sweeps the outcome under the carpet...who knows very soon there will be a committee on the Quantity of food consumed by Nigerians.(Anyway its jst another way of engaging jobless people and paying some the money they don't deserve).

Committocracy - government of committees, by committees and for committees.

But on a serious note, don't the various committees have specific period of existence and are they achieving results?

That's not the end. When they all come up with their recommendations, he will inaugurate "high-powered" Technical committees to further look into their various recommendations........

The most outstanding committee has to be:
FACEBOOK FACESAVING COMMITTEE
National policies are formed there

The biggest "time waster" is GEJ and it is apt you mentioned the Danjuma Presidential advisory committee which indicate very lucidly , as Isaac Osuoka surmised, that "Anytime Jonathan sets up a committee, you know the man is not serious".

GEJ formed the PAC and went on directly to rubbish that committee by ignoring its submissions most prominent of which was the suggestion that Nigeria must cut size and cost of Governance. To demontrate he is a man who stands for nothing but the most vacuous and deceptive of pursuits, GEJ, upon winning the 2011 election, immediately disbanded the PAC and insensitively announced that "leaner Government not possible". I.e completely the opposite of what the Danjuma committee wanted.

Abeg, let us stop making excuses for this man. Too many of his actions, to those who don't lie to themselves, shows he is a callous opportunist totally beholden to the elite class and ruinous AGIPs destroying Nigeria.

Soon he will set up a committee to 'brainstorm' why our refineries are failing despite the obvious fact that he is the person who has condemned our refineries to failing via conceding them into the hands of the home of corruption (NNPC) for two years !!!!

Nigeria is a failed state indeed.

committee for setting up another committee.

What of tompolo committee ?
