Waiting Game ends as President Tinubu set to unveil his Ministerial list… Now before Senate President, Akpabio by Taiwo Olapade
Baring any last minute change, the list of Nigerians that will work with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Ministers will get to the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio any moment from now.
The newsnow reliably gathered that the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio is expected to present the much awaited list to his colleagues at plenary in the next forty eight hours.
The Department of State Services we learnt had concluded the rigorous screening of the nominees of any criminal records paving the way for the oversight function of the National Assembly to ask them questions on relevant areas before approval.
This is happening barely ten days to the expiration of sixty days President Tinubu have under the law to do the needful.
Former President, Muhammadu Buhari signed the Bill that prescribed sixty days for his successor to send the Ministerial nominees to the National Assembly for approval in the twilight of his administration.
Nigerians are hoping that the screening of the nominees at the Senate will be a departure from the usual ‘Take A Bow’ owing to the current economic realities that requires serious minded to solve.
Coming from a rich background as an Accountant, President Tinubu deployed the rare gifted knowledge to discover intelligent, brilliant personalities that made up his cabinet in 1999 after he was elected as the Lagos State Governor.
Nigeria seems to be at crossroads with the current security and economic challenges especially with the increase in the pump price of fuel which had life difficult for many in the country.
The dearth of infrastructure cannot also be ignored at this critical moment since every nation that desires growth and development must accord priority to Infrastructural renewal. However, the reverse seems to be the trend in our case. It wasn’t a case of lack of funds or tallented personnel to attend to our Infrastructural needs but the greed and selfishness that has pervaded our land had blindfolded those saddled with such responsibilities to do the needful.
During his eight years reign as the Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu left an indelible mark in the history of the state by achieving success in different sectors.
His ingenuity in governance brought about the establishment of several Agencies that led to creation of more jobs for the people of the state. Some of those agencies still waxing strong till date includes; LIRS, LASTMA, KAI, LAMATA, LASEMBUS, and LAWMA.
President Bola Tinubu has another date with history to give Nigeria a winning Team to work with to quickly fix the country in the overall good of the people.
Nigerians are waiting to see if the President during his acceptance speech will match his promise to form a cabinet based on merit by putting the round peg in the right hole with action.
