Sane Mind said...

Why were they sacked?,that's the question,is it for performing below expectation or for engaging in anti-party activities,,the motive should be made known to us because at the end of the day these whole thing will boil down to selfish purpose and not for the fact that they did not serve the public well!

Ministers of Agriculture,Power and Education had it coming,didn't they?
Why's there a ministry of agriculture at the centre(federal level)when almost no agricultural activity takes place there,eh?
Every major agricultural activity is done at the state and local levels besides the disbursement of cash(something which very few farmers have actually benefited from except for the so-called subsidized fertilizers and farming machines which are only given to farmers with strong connections),yet some guy at the centre is getting a monthly pay huge enough to change the fortunes of farmers just because he's tagged minister.
Not only should the minister be sacked,that minstry should be scrapped so that the state and local government can be allowed to handle agriculture since they are closest to the farmers.
As for the power sector,its in total shambles.
Last time I was home,not only was there no power supply for a month straight,NEPA/PHCN(or whatever they are called these days)still brought a bill requesting payment for a 'lightless momth'. Yet,there's a minister there?does he have any ideas how many foreign investors have been chased out of the country because of poor power supply?
Then the Education minister,isn't it a shame that federal universities are still on strike?with students idling away?this must be a good news for those students.
BUT then again,2015 is just around the corner...all these sacking and what have you could be pure politicking as nearly anything in possible in the Nigerian political landscape.
We can only wait to find out!

Pay back for the New PDP governors. Their nominees in Federal Executive Council have to go. You can't empower your enemies. Let their governors empower them.

This action has been long over due especially that of Education and Foreign Affairs. Ofcourse National Planning too. My opinion anyway!

If I was the minister of education, wld av resigned since the FG can not rch an agreement with ASUU, dis is to show her incompetency @ her job, now she's been disgraced out of ofc, dunno why in this part of d world, we always prefer to leave when d ovation is loudest, to being disgraced out of ofc. I'm sure she has learnt some lessons.

President Goodluck Jonathan has reshuffled his cabinet, dropping nine ministers.

The ministers affected are
Ruqayat Rufai (Education)
Zainab Kunchi (Power, [state])
Buka Tijani (Agriculture [state])
Shamsudeen Usman (National Planning)
Ita Okon (science and technology)
Olugbenga Ashiru (foreign affairs)
Ama Pepple (lands)
and Hadiza Mailafia (environment).

President Jonathan had long been expected to rejig his lackluster cabinet which has largely failed to deliver services to the Nigerian people.

The firing of this FEC ministers are collateral damages. Oyinlola nominated -Erelu Olusola Obada, Shamsuddeen Usman is a nomoniee of Kwankwaso who is in the New PDP party, Ama Pepple is a nominee of Rotimi Amaechi who is currently against President Jonathan. Some of the others who are safe have been accused of some form of corruption or the other and have not been probed but left to continue to do allegedly as accused.
