President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed two top players in the technology and telecommunications sector as Ministers awaiting Senate confirmation.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports the Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Isa Pantami made the President Buhari forty three man ministerial list.
Also on the list is Sunday Akin Dare, the Executive Commissioner (Stakeholder Management) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
An analysis of the ministerial list showed that seven states got two ministerial nominees each.
The States include Kaduna (Zainab Ahmed and Mohammed Mahmoud), Edo (Osagie Enakhire and Clement Agba), Kano (Sabo Nanunu and Bashir Magashi), Anambra (Sharon Ikeazu and Chris Ngige), Kwara (Lai Mohammed and Gbemisola Saraki), Lagos (Raji Fashola and Olounimbe Mamora), and Bauchi (Adamu Adamu and Maryam Katagum).
The formula is one per state, one per geo-political zone; so that the states with two slots have one representing the State, and one representing the zone.
While Pantami emerged in the ministerial list from the slot of Gombe state, Dare emerged in the list from the slot slated for Oyo State.
Eighteen persons who served in the first term of President Muhammadu Buhari will not be returning to the cabinet.
They are Mansur Dan Ali, a retired Colonel, who was Minister of Defence; Dr Okechukwu Enelamah, who was in charge of Industry, Trade and Investment, along with Aisha Abubakar, the Minister of State in the Ministry.
Also out is Lt. General Abdulrahman Dambazau from Kano. He was the Minister of interior.
The lawyer, former senator and boardroom player, Udoma Udo Udoma in charge of National Planning is also not returning, along with Professor Isaac Adewole, a former vice-chancellor from Osun State, who was in charge of the health ministry.
The Khaki wearing Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung is out.
So also is Usani Uguru Usani of Niger Delta Ministry. Bawa Bwari Abubakar of the Ministry of Mines has been dropped as well.
Also dropped are Omole Daramola, Minister of State in the Niger Delta Ministry and Anthony Onwuka, Minister of State in Education Ministry.
Heineken Lokpobiri from Bayelsa was not re-appointed as Minister of State in the Ministry of Rural Development and Agriculture.
Professor Stephen Ocheni, who was appointed in 2017 as a replacement for the late James Ocholi, a lawyer who died in a road crash on Kaduna-Abuja road, was also dropped. Ocheni will go down in history as one of the ministers who had a short spell in office.
Barrister Adebayo Shittu, who was embroiled in a scandal of dodging the National Youth Service after he graduated in 1979, was also dropped. He was in charge of the Ministry of Communications for four years.
Perhaps the most conspicuous name missing on the new ministerial list is Dr Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, who was Buhari’s junior minister in the Ministry of Petroleum.
Returning ministers include Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Mohammed Musa Bello; Labour Minister, Chris Ngige, and Information and Culture Minister, Lai Mohammed.
Others are Education Minister Adamu Adamu, and Mustapha Baba Shehuri from Borno, who served as Minister of State in the powerful, works, housing and power ministry.
Also returning are Ogbonaya Onu (science and tech), Osagie Ehanire (health), Geoffrey Onyema (foreign affairs), Hadi Sirika (aviation), Babatunde Raji Fashola (works, housing and power), Abubakar Malami (Justice) and Rotimi Amaechi (transport).
