Opinion by abati1990: The ministers Nigeria needs via thecableng
adopted so far, it is expected that he would not waste time in coming up with a list of cabinet ministers. The 1999 constitution vests the president with executive powers under Section 5 and in other parts of that basic document to hire and also fire, if need be, persons who would assist him in the discharge of his functions as president and commander-in-chief.
Every Nigerian politician seeking an elective position invariably chalks up IOUs, for which other persons expect to be compensated with appointments, contracts or access. It is the reason why government appointments are more or less, “job for the boys”. In the last dispensation, one governor appointed over 400 aides.
As he prepares to announce his list of Ministers, President Tinubu should pay attention not just to Federal Character, in selecting the best and the brightest, he must ensure inclusion, equity, and gender justice. He must look beyond party affiliations and select only those who can serve with distinction, across party lines, locally and from among the rich human resource that Nigeria has in the diaspora.
