To whom much is given much is expected.

I laugh at this country called nigeria

Lawyer as minister of science and technology?

festacman:
A lawyer to serve as minister of Science and Technology? Are we serious in this country?

Definitely not

Onlinetutor7:
Are there not better qualified personnel in the country that can handle the post.

Must we move from one level of incompetency to another level of incompetency.

America has a health secretary who studied Law, has a brain worm and used heroin for a lengthy period.

I was shocked at how uninformed many here are, many do not know that strategic leadership does not require being trained in a field but being able to make things work. You will be surprised to know how equipped the man is in technology.

Uche Nnajis camp has been totally schemed out. Politics is very treacherous. There's always the possibility of a poor reward system.

I am surprised that almost every comment mentioned "a lawyer as Minister of Science and Technology?"

First, the letter Mr. President sent to the Senate DID NOT specify the ministry Dr. Kingsley Udeh, SAN, would be assigned. It simply said 'Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria'. That he would replace the former Minister of Science and Technology, did not mean that he would be assigned to that Ministry. After his confirmation by the Senate, Mr. President could do a minor cabinet reshuffle and assign him to another Ministry. This minor cabinet reshuffling has happened under previous administrations.

Second, for those who have consulted for public agencies, you would agree with me that the Minister is a political appointee. The main resource at any Ministry is the Permanent Secretary, Directors, and other staff, who execute day-to-day mandates. Examples abound, even in countries we, on the basis of self-deprecation, address as "developed world", "First World", "advanced countries", where the degrees of Ministers did not reflect the ministries they superintend.

For instance, coming home, Prof. Abubakar Suleiman, a Professor of Political Science, an indigene of Kwara State, was appointed Minister for National Planning by President Goodluck Jonathan. He was said to have performed well in that Ministry.


Mr. President DID NOT DO ANY WRONG!

ojuu4u:
Did you read body of the letter sent by President, or you want to wail as usual?

Rational human beings will read and understand first, before rushing gragra to first page to always rant and wail.

So what sense are trying to. Make Mr. Sophisticated..?

..tilumbu more dazed & confused than ever imagined..

..appointing a lawyer as Science & Technology Minister..

If not for Trump warning, tinubu woulda appointed a Muslim to occupy that position

It's the fear of Trump that made him to appoint a Christian to save face

Try and borrow or buy some sense. It's getting pathetic.

tunapawizzy:
Tinubu just dey multi task
Every appointment carries a sword, aimed straight at the chest of his foes. At all at all this one go carry like 1000 votes join body, if not more
Good Politician but terrible for the development of the nation

Read what you typed again if there is sense in it. Lawyer and minister of science and technology. Why are we like this in this country

Dalohad:
A lawyer appointed to serve as a Scientist.

They don't care about competence, they only care about giving political favours to their cronies at the detriment of the Nigerian state.

And this is the same man his fool..ish supporters call master strategist? Nigeria can never be a serious country.

So, we don't have qualified People in science, technology and engineering for the appointment?
Na lawyer....
Odiegwu...

blacksam01:

Nothing in the letter Tinubu sent to the Senate shows he would be appointing this man to head the ministry of science and technology. He is only appointed to fill up Enough state slot vacated by Nnaji. A minor cabinet reshuffling would certainly be done.

Why nominate an artist for a Science oriented position.
You guys keep defending incompetency a Big reason why we are becoming a disgraced nation

Our leaders have lost it I swear what a disgraced country what does a lawyer knows about science? Can't our leaders do the right thing for once

Explain the nonsensical extract that you are trying to show us.

What is glorious about appointing a Lawyer in a field where Scientist should occupy. Which Kain brain Una get, these agbadomudeen people?

If you had someone you wouldn't listen
You have 5 serious problems

Be like na you get serious problem o because you ended up saying nothing.

What's a SAN doing as a minister of Science and Technology?

Mrfixitt:
I hope this one did not forge his own cert.

Mumu, he is a lawyer

What concerns a lawyer with scientific innovations? No more scientists or engineers with all the professors littered everywhere? Yet we want development.
Imagine appointing an engineer as a minister of health. . Confusion in high places.

What's a SAN doing as a minister of Science and Technology?

What is the job of a minister of Science and Technology maybe you can help me understand what your point is
Many of you know nothing and think you know it all

They have a minister in the same role in Japan

What were the achievements of the former minister of science during Buhari administration? He even has B.sc in science related field.

Yoshimasa Hayashi
Former Science and Technology Minister Japan
Degree LLB

So many of you overdose on awuf Eba and come online to talk nonsense

He must be a Graduate of LegaL Engineering

festacman:

Science and Technology are critical fields that need a knowledgeable and experienced professional to drive the VISION of the President. Unfortunately, a vision doesn't seem to exist so anything goes.

Yes
Yoshimasa Hayashi
Former Science and Technology Minister

Many of you have little knowledge and zero curiosity
You are unteachable. Because you don't and won't ask questions or even think


Worst of all is in this ignorant state you are arrogant


A Minister is a political job full stop
He is there to represent the people

In most parliamentary systems you cannot become a Minister UNLESS you win an election as a legislator


ALL UK MINISTERs are legislators

Take time to process the implications of that


Anyway among most ministers around the world LLB is the commonest degree

Find out why
