Babatunde Fashola, minister of works, power and housing, had preferred Olasupo Shasore, who was once attorney-general under him as governor of Lagos.
JUST IMAGINE.

This is a good one from our president, Buhari.
He should make more of such proper appointments.
Perhaps it is time to send his lawyer minister of darkness to the justice ministry so there can be LIGHT.

Just say it pained you no be SS or SE man get the job. What is menial in being the NERC chairman. Of all the factors which is necessary for the growth of Nigeria in the next 4 years the supply of stable electricity is the most important.

Thank God if this news is true. Fashola really tried but you don't learn how to be a leftie at old age. Give Fashola jobs that he is conversant with,he will excel.

I dont know why we keep doing this thing over and over again. Simply because somebody is coming from abroad we simply believe he or she is the best meanwhile we have some home grown and patriotic individuals here who are ready to lay down their lives for the nation. Instead we prefer to choose people who have turned their back on the nation and denounced her and even gone ahead to nationalize themselves and their children abroad to come and lord over us here.

I do not believe because someone has schooled in Havard, MIT or Oxford makes them better, we have our way here and we understand ourselves. The irony of all these is that after messing up everything they simply carry their bags and return back to where they believe in and belong to. Where is madam NOI now is she here with us suffering the pains of her policy decisions. Where is Aganga, and a host os others like that. We must believe in Nigerians and use real Nigerians to solve our problem, it is only us the real citizens who will fix our nation and never all them lost Nigerians only coming here to reap where they never sowed.

You will hear somebody was onetime UN general, World bank this, IMF that, bla bla bla upon all we are still no where so what is the impact of their so called world class exposure. Truth is only true Nigerians will fix the Nigerian problem, let us stop fooling ourselves.

Who will even take a failure's nominee serious? Fashola who couldn't convince Nigerians on his own portfolios, is already doing recommendation.


Me: knock on the door.

Fashola: who is it?

Me: Oga minister please open the door, I have a surprise for you.

So the greedy minister wants to fix tariff rate with his handpicked nerc chairman...shame shame on them all.

Despite not being a staunch supporter of this administration (more like a staunch crtic grin), but as an ambitious Nigerian with the best interest of the country and my fellow citizens, I applaud this move by Pres. Buhari. Why can't all the great nigerian minds (in the diaspora or not) be given an opportunity to offer assistance in critical sectors? I urge Mr President to go far and wide to get capable economists to contribute and make significant changes in an effort to better our ailing economy.

Well, if you ask me, i believe a lawyer is fit to fill that position. Its a REGULATORY agency not an electricity industry operator.

For you to deal with these private companies and hold them to their faults in a democratic setting like this, you need to have sufficient knowledge of the laws of our country and maybe just the fundamentals of electricity. And i'm sure there are a lot of engineers that can put him through on the latter.

All these eggheads just to regulate electricity?

Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC)

Regulation?

It is not that they are coming to run anything.

This is just a regulatory job.

Fashola is good at that, with his LAWMA & LASTMA experience, he should be transferred to that agency, while this Ibitayo guy should be made the minister of power and these other guys should be appointed his aides.

That's how to use human resources.

This is the first set of appointments by the Dullard that I will take a bit serious.

Moral Lesson:
If you want technocrats who can deliver on the job, Think SOUTH, not those Islamic fanatics up north who don't know jack padded will Nepotism.
so if you become president you will only hire from south abi and you hope to see peace

You are right.

That's where Fashola should be.

He has the experience.

They want to waste this Ibitayo's career with this low job.
