First Time In 6 Years, Buhari Wields The Big Stick On 2 Cabinet Members

The president said, “On Wednesday 21st August, 2019, the current Federal Executive Council was sworn in after a rigorous retreat to bring returning and new members up to speed on the accomplishments, challenges, and lessons drawn from my first term in office and to emphasise the nine priority areas of government for the second term.

“As we are all aware, change is the only factor that is constant in every human endeavour and as this administration approaches its critical phase in the second term, I have found it essential to reinvigorate this cabinet in a manner that will deepen its capacity to consolidate legacy achievements.” Available data indicate that Nigeria’s electricity supply, though a perennial problem, remained erratic throughout the two year tenure of the former power minister, Engr Sale Mamman.

The grants were meant for critical projects including $2.3 billion for Siemens, $1.6 billion for Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme , $1.7 billion for Distribution, $550 million for the Nigerian Electricity Project , a rural electrification project being funded by the World Bank and the African Development Bank .

“The action of President Muhammadu Buhari in dropping the ministers and members of cabinet for non-performance is quite commendable.. “it is our desires and hope that Mr. President Muhammadu will do a full circle re-shufflement of his cabinet in the days to come in order to inject fresh energy, fresh blood and provide the much needed impetus for re- calibration, total overhaul and rejigging of his cabinet,” he said.

He said that a quick review and audit of the Power Sector is needed as the five-year post-privatisation of the sector had been due since 2019 and the new minister would do well to champion this. Balogun observed that termination of the appointment of the minister may not be unconnected with frequent system collapse which heightened in the last few months.

It stood at 21 per cent in July, having risen from 13.17 per cent in August 2019 when the former minister of agriculture, Nanono, was appointed. Ologbondiyan added that even if the best hands are recruited, they will be contaminated by incompetence, impunity, disregard to rules, divisiveness and corruption that have become the hallmark of the APC and its administration.
