A month after inaugurating his cabinet made up of 45 ministers cleared by the Senate and three weeks after he presided over his first and only Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting yet, President Bola Tinubu yesterday nominated Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim
• Appoints Nkwocha as media aide to Vice President, others to serve as the Minister of Youth, pending her confirmation by the Senate, ending intense jostling for the much-craved Youths portfolio.
President Tinubu charged the two nominees to ensure that they consistently reflect the dynamism, innovative zeal, and unyielding productivity that are synonymous with the young people of Nigeria as they discharge their duties. By 2005, Tinubu appointed him Executive Secretary of the Land Use and Allocation Committee. Six years after, he was promoted permanent secretary and was appointed the head of service in December 2018.
MEANWHILE, with President Tinubu’s recent approval of the nomination of Olayemi Cardoso to serve as the substantive governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria , some 48 hours after appointing Zachaeus Adedeji as the acting chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service , the strong perception that the President is pushing an unseemly pro-ethnic agenda became worryingly stronger, the Human Rights Writers’ Association of Nigeria , has alleged.
“That the disastrous, previous administration of General Muhammadu Buhari , towed a visionless, divisive path, in the overwhelming tribalistic appointments it made, should never excuse this course that fundamentally degrades the legitimate dream of a new, progressive, inclusive Nigerian state. The group added: “Key appointments traversing the nation’s crucial security, judicial and economic sectors are now unabashedly cornered by the Southwest. A quick, non-exhaustive check-list would include: Petroleum Minister: Tinubu; Chief of Staff: Femi Gbajabiamila; Minister of Justice: Lateef Fagbemi; Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun; acting CBN Governor, Folashodun Shonubi, who now gives way to a substantive CBN boss, Cardoso.
