Adamu Adamu is a renowned journalist/writer. His weekly column "Definations in Humour" in the defunct New Nigerian newspaper was a masterpiece and always a delight to read. Maybe you are of the indomie/Pampers generation, that's why you never heard of this wordsmith. Incidentally, this Bauchi state- born man has produced one of his kind, hopefully, as his daughter just graduated from American university of Nigeria with a first class degree in English. Both father and daughter are masters of the English language - what a family!

It is widely believed on no account should northerner be considered good in education and thats where they got it all wrong people like or morethan Adamu Adamu's family are uncountable in the north.

Probably the interview lasted at least 30mins.

Of all the things that were discussed this is the only point that the journalist deemed worthy of publishing.

I will keep saying it. Journalists are devils. They misquote you out of context to justify their bias.

Don't grant media interview to journalists without your lawyer. They're misleaders.

u said it all

He was also a columnist with daily trust. I used to enjoy reading their columns especially those of Sam Nda-Isaiah and Idang Alibi. Unfortunately kids don't like to read these days. One of the ways I learnt good English was reading newspapers although some stories were filled with grammatical blunders but it was a delight to point them out.
NB: I didn't like New Nigerian because of the colour and it didn't seem to have much diverse content.

Is Nigeria cursed?how is improving the the education sector related to Buhari's speech writting? Is that an achievement in the ministry? Buhari the commander of fools.

Part of his CV!

if you really want to improve education, start holding governors and LG chairperson to account! Whatever FG is doing in education is to ASSIST Governors and LG chairpersons!

What effect has speech writing on a ministry of education for 200m people? I think he is a better fit for minister of communication.

You really need to give it to GEJ who brought it an Adesina, Ngozi etc.. people whose names are greater than material wealth.

If you hear of a wanton loot in Akpabio's ministry today, it's not a new thing to us and Akpabio himself, our cries and insults are just music to his ears because he is renowed already internationally.

Ministerial position should be attached to certain attainments in life recognized both locally and internationally and not political settlements..

Is he also responsible for the infamous "dogs and baboons" that claimed the life of corpers ?

Kikikikiki. grin

Which universe are you from dude?

You are still talking as if Nigeria is ready to make any progress. Is Nigeria doing anything that looks remotely close to Malaysia, Singapore, China or any serious country?

Las las they will call you Ipob youth even if you Fulani. Berom or Kanuri. Then followed by wailer.
Nigeria don cast. No remedy. Only a gradual but inevitable disintegration remains. And it won't be pretty.

The docility of Nigerians has made the elite take everyone for granted to perpetrate impunity. This attitude has ruined great nations and empires before new nations rose from the ashes.

Adamu Adamu, a ministerial nominee, says he worked as the speech writer of President Muhammadu Buhari between 1994 and 1999.

He disclosed this while responding to questions from members of the senate during the screening of ministerial nominees, on Wednesday.

Adamu is one of the 13 ministers re-appointed by Buhari.

He said his role as a co-speech writer for Buhari did not affect his job as a minister.

“I started working as speech writer to President Buhari in 1994 up till 1999. I later became his unofficial speech writer till he became president. Now that he is president, I think it is a collective responsibility and it doesn’t affect my job,” he said.

The former minister said the ministry of education under his leadership did everything possible to reduce the number of out-of-school children in the country.

He said the state governments need to do more in advancing the reduction of out-of-school children.

So because he writes in a way that impresses Buhari (who is barely literate, anyway) he decided to reward him with the EDUCATION portfolio! Aren't speech writing and education connected?

Baba issa goal...

Buhari's illiteracy has taken him to the highest office in Nigeria, where have your literacy taken you to?Today, no history of Nigeria will be written without Buhari's name being mentioned. Will your name still be heard even after you have left this world?

Does it mean no member of ur family can write better than those incoherently scripted texts that Buhari reads out?
Better ask Buhari to a special school for u and ur family members
