Ex-Presidential Aide Seeks Clarity Of Roles For Ministers To Avoid Conflict

“Are we going to have a situation where you have innovation here and you have innovation there? Probably this has been sorted out by the two ministers because reason, why this is important is because in the previous administration even when you didn’t have innovation under the Science and Technology Ministry, the people in the Science and Technology just assumed that the innovation was under their purview and the people in Communication and Digital Economy also made such assumption.

“So, that has been changed from Humanitarian Affairs, Social Welfare and Disaster Management to Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, but social welfare is now taken to health. Now, is social welfare the same thing as social development? “These ministers are appointed at the pleasure and they serve the pleasure of the president. He can hire and fire at any time, that is the reason you can see he made some changes, which are completely within his purview by law. He is the one that sets the KPIs, he is the one decides by law what should be done,” Akande said.

“My point is that we have a coordinating minister of the economy, Mr Wale Edun, a former commissioner, who is going to supervise other ministries that have to do with the economy, including one that is managed by a former governor. Guess what? That is what the president wants, so it is the president’s call, and the president has taken all of these.

His comments came on the heels of accusations from the Human Rights writer’s Association of Nigeria , faulting the Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Musawa, for undertaking the one-year mandatory National Youth Service Corps scheme while she is still a member of President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet.
