In the discussion about ministers, we generally miss one important factor. . . The Presidential Advisory Commitee (PAC). It might hold Jonathans ultimate chess move, making the choice of ministers just a gambit to please all sections and power brokers.
If the PAC plays a strong part then, quite a few ministers will end up mere managers of decisions taken elsewhere. Jonathan can use the PAC as a remote control influence to either up a ministers game or diminish his/her power.

Depending on how Jonathan plays it, the choice of ministers might not be in the least bit critical. There is too much leeway in the current arrangement to make any informed argument.

mikeansy:
The guy is pandering too much to the establishment. He is planning too much for 2011. It will be worth it if all these establishment conventional behaviours is because he wants to continue as President in 2011.

What I will find very disturbing is if he is playing all these cards just to be nominated VP for a second term. That will be horrendous.

Fhemmmy:
What has he really done?

please give him time to learn the ropes

Is this new or same that was said some weeks back?

The US Ambassador to Nigeria, Ms. Robin Sanders, who made the pledge on Monday in Abuja at a meeting of the Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa, said that the US would render the assistance through the International Atomic Energy Agency, working with the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority and Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission.

The United States of America has pledged to assist Nigeria and other African countries interested in generating electricity from nuclear sources.

The US Ambassador to Nigeria, Ms. Robin Sanders, who made the pledge on Monday in Abuja at a meeting of the Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa, said that the US would render the assistance through the International Atomic Energy Agency, working with the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority and Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission.

Sanders said the US was pleased that African countries had come together to create the FNRBA, which would help them exchange ideas and experiences in building their nuclear legislative and regulatory capacities.

She explained that “developing a safe and reliable nuclear power is a major undertaking that requires long-term planning and development and a huge investment for any country.

“The United States is appreciative that the FNRBA is taking a methodical and systematic approach in helping member states develop the foundation for the safe and reliable application of nuclear technology.”

The ambassador further stressed that every country must recognise the risks associated with the application of nuclear technology and the importance of safeguarding nuclear materials from falling into the wrong hands.

Nine countries, including Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Nigeria are members of the FNRBA.

Other member countries are South Africa, Namibia, Tanzania and Tunisia.

Delivering his opening address, the Special Adviser to the President on Petroleum Matters and the Alternative Chairman of NNRA, Dr. Emmanuel Egbogah, said about 20 African countries were at various stages of implementing nuclear power programmes.

He explained that the high number of African countries and other considerations led Nigeria to spearhead the formation of the FNRBA.

He noted that Nigeria was aware of the prevailing international anxiety over nuclear security and proliferation of nuclear weapons.

To allay the fears, Egbogah invited the international community to share with Nigeria and other African countries how to pursue the utilisation of nuclear energy for power generation in a peaceful and safe manner.

In his speech, the Director General, Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority, Prof. Shamsudeen Elegba, noted that the workshop was aimed to sharing experiences as Africa, outside South Africa, took the first deliberate steps in the generation of electricity from nuclear power plants.

According to him, the objectives of the forum are to “provide a platform for fostering regional cooperation, provide for the exchange of expertise, information and experience, provide opportunity for mutual support and coordination of regional initiatives and leverage the development and optimization of resource utilization.”

I don't see anything wrong with the way Sanusi is operating.
As a matter of fact he is doing a good job in Nigerias standard .
He is neither the the President or the Economic Minister.
The only reason sanusi is finding things so hard with most of you are comparing him to Soludo.
Compare him to Ahmed, Ogwuma and Joseph Sanusi and you will discover that he is doing an above average job.
Sanusi's CV was there for all to see, hence his simplistic policeman attitude to the job.

mbulela:
There must be more important things in life than stoopping to the level of barbarians and lunatics.

AjanleKoko:
Problem is, apart from Lagos, very little economic activity goes on in the entire South of Nigeria.
In fact, apart from Lagos, where else do you have that kind of food demand?
The rulers of most of the states (except Lagos!) are all PDP surrogates, stuck on the lucre of federal money, available to loot and share.
State governments need to invest in mechanised farming, create co-operatives to grow the domestic farming activity. But do they know or care? They're slaves of Abuja.

kosovo:
thread locked. .

This is a very debased story, you claimed not to have any concrete evidence that the said man used the money to buy a Car and Rented a House, yet you have the legitiums and the justus to label the said man as a criminal. Lame! if you ask me.

Even if the said story is true, Facts supersedes Truth.
Thanks.

@ op, he broke the country up in the middle of the coup. he should have waited till he was in Dodan Barracks calling the shorts

Sam Milla:
Great. You did some investigations and found out about the thief.
Then You have no evidence to report him to the police.
What exactly did you do and what did you discover ?

Apparently you wrote all the stock exchange firms to know if this man bought stocks somewhere.
You also wrote the banks to check where all his source of income come from.
Then you went to his fathers will to know if the old man left him some money.
You also know whether this man sold a piece of land somewhere to generate money.
Or maybe you also discovered if he has a brother abroad who sent him money.
Did you find out if he is a 419 whom Mr Anderson from Sweden bought his acts ?

As long as we dont see any evidence here, we are not interested in calling him bad names.

ow11:
NOT TRUE! Any thing that panders to your innermost desires can be used to dupe you. It doesn't have to be about money.

No one is totally immune from being duped. A very good example, If a girl buys a £3 Primark top for 8 grand; I can safely say she has been duped because she paid a premium for a cheap and substandard top because it pandered to her taste for foreign goods.
