Idahosa, however, commended the president for splitting the transport ministry into three. This, he said, would provide the platform to tap the full potential of the transportation sector.
“My own is to let us move the economy forward for the good of the country. Asking if this person is good or not is the least of my problems. For me, the day people are confirmed to be ministers and they were confirmed without portfolios it means they can be asked to work anywhere.” But retired Group Captain Sadique Shehu argued that the defence ministry should have been manned by someone with a military background.
“I am a military man, I can tell you soldiers respect people that know what they know. They also like to take advantage of someone who doesn’t know anything about them.” Nnachi said, “We expect a lot of good things and positive changes in the health sector, and I think he will deliver, but you know sometimes when you take up certain positions, you will see some influences, and some will give you information that does not exist.
He said, “Some are round pegs. Some of them are political appointees, like the Minister of Defence. I don’t know why the president thought that was the right person for the job. But, somehow, you have to throw in jobs for the boys.” The Director General of the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, Mr. Wale Oyerinde, commended the government for assigning portfolios to the ministers.
He, however, urged the defence ministers to surround themselves with people who are well-informed about military activities.
