by As Nigerians would say the list ‘e no wan comot oh!’ (meaning the list doesn’t want to come out).
But for now, we are only sure of one approved minister and that is the Minister of Petroleum. The position would be held by the President of Nigeria himself, he revealed this while speaking to some reporters in New York. [news]
He said:
“I will remain Minister of Petroleum.
“I will appoint a minister of State for Petroleum”.
Buhari restated his determination to sanitise Nigeria’s oil industry and free it from corruption and create more transparency.
He said that his first step in sanitizing the petroleum sector has already begun with the appointment of a new management for the NNPC and said that the prosecution of those who misappropriated NNPC’s funds is already in the works.
Buhari, who took office at the end of May promising to fight corruption, has made it clear he wants to overhaul the oil sector in Africa’s biggest economy, which provides the government with about 70% of its revenue.
