TemplarLandry: That's all they care about not Nigeria or the effectiveness of the ministry bt his next appointment after destroying the economy further with nepotism. Solid minerals ministry should go to a geologist or science and engineering background. This temporary government has nothing to offer. 1 Like |

Solid minerals such as cobalt, lithium, copper & graphite are expected to fetch a fortune in the next decade. China is currently exploring the opportunity to acquire assets in this area to support the global demand to produce EV batteries and they are known to give a lot of egunje in hard currency. This is why Alake requested this portfolio from the drug baron as against his core competency of information ministry. |

FreeStuffsNG: Even Kayode Fayemi who is a global propagandist failed as a Solid Minerals minister under Buhari. It takes being rooted in geology or some engineering related fields to understand the technical aspects of solid minerals affairs. A simple visit to Ajaokuta Steel and mills will make you weep for this country. |

For me, I've always said the ministry of solid minerals in Nigeria should be the third strongest ministry in Nigeria, but reverse has been the case, Nassarawa Zamfara Niger Kogi Kwara Kaduna etc all have mass deposit of solid minerals, but we hear little about the exploration and exportation of theses minerals... rather, this solid minerals are personalised... back then, in one of the above mentioned states, Chinese minerals were brought into the state to mineral Gold specifically for some Alhajis and politicians in the state. How do we get foreign revenue into the country? Crude oil won't do the magic alone. Germany South Korea are not naturally endowed, yet they are placed high in global markets and economic index rankings. |

casualobserver:I am not daft. You should have told us what he achieved. You're just butressing my point with your example. A school teacher as minister of finance. Adamu Adamu spent eight years as education minister and ended up apologising for wasting the nation's time. Babs Fafunwa spent four years and successfully migrated us from the old system to 6-3-3-4 with complete curriculum, syllabus and educational materials. Go back now and ruminate on who is daft between you and I |

Kukutente23: We also had Nnaji and Babalola who were renowned experts in power, how did that go? Like I said you are daft. I should also add that you are ignorant and uninformed. With the exception of attorney general, a minister is a political post, all that is required is intelligence and patriotism. Anyone with those skills can handle ANY ministry except justice. In the countries we copy, the Secretaries of State or ministers have no professional affiliation to the ministries they are assigned. The role of a minister is simply one of a manager. The reason why we fail in Nigeria and look to the professional leanings of the minister is because we had emergency governments in the past without an articulated, thought out manifesto, development plan or policy. When a government has a policy document, as is the case with serious governments, the activities of government are dictated by the policy not the minister. Please educated yourself. I suggest you research past and present ministers in the US and Uk to compare their professional qualifications with that of their ministries. I also suggest you research past Nigerian ministers and their portfolios at the time when Nigeria had national development plans. You will find that when we had national development plans the national development plan dictated the direction of the ministry not the minister. The problem is we have not had governments with policy documents or national plans for a while hence our focus on “technocrat ministers” to save the day. If a government already has a plan to build 6000km of roads, increase power to 20GW, reduce unemployment to 10% in 4 years, increase the number of graduate doctors engineers and teachers to X, increase no of hospitals to X per 1000 people for example, you don’t need technocrats as ministers to implement, what you need are people capable of managing and achieving the stated goals. All the technocrats you need are in the ministries or as special advisers. Like I said educate yourself and deliver your self from your ignorance and backwardness. For every Fafunwa you give I will mention 10 Nanjis that failed woefully and equally10 ministers under Balewa, Gowon or Shagari whose ministries performed well under a clearly articulated national development plans. The job of a minister is to implement the plan that has already been clearly articulated by the government not to alter the plan of the government or do his own thing. The time for technocrats is in the policy formulation stages not implementation. A special adviser is more Important than a minister but ignorance will not allow you to see road. The special adviser is THE technocrat!!!!! The special Adviser is the one the president appoints of his own free will without political interference, the SA is the one the president listens to and many times the SA can be more influential than the minister. Finally, was Amaechi who was the best minister under Buhari a railway engineer? Was Kyari who negotiated the Siemens deal the minister of power….did we not have a minister of power? Was Fashola a civil engineer? Is NOI a trained economist? Is Christine laggard the head of the ECB an economist or a banker? Stop thinking and talking like ignoramuses. The history of Nigeria is that technocrats tend to fail in political office and are best in back office roles like SA. 3 Likes |

No one has a monopoly of wisdom. I believe that he can do well. He is one man that is very close to the president and must have known in advance. In other words, he must have been told what is expected of him. |
