Ministerial List: Buhari may not be the Petroleum Minister afterall


The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Femi Adesina, was on Channels TV, yesterday 11th October, where he entertained questions on the list of Ministers whose screening will begin on tuesday 13th October by the Nigerian senate.
Adesina also admonished Nigerians not to judge the ministerial nominees on the basis of their chronological age, but rather on their mental alertness.

When asked if the president will preside as the petroleum minister, he responded:

"He is not going to be designated as Minister but will supervise the Ministry. When former President Olusegun Obasanjo while in office supervised that ministry for 6 years, was he called a petroleum Minister? No, he was not. President is going to supervise and maybe, he would have Minister of State to work along with him. I daresay, he has all it takes to supervise that ministry having been oil minister for 3 and half years in the past."
