The long wait and intrigues about the emergence and composition of the Federal Executive Council of President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government has finally come to an end today.
Earlier today, President Muhammadu Buhari sworn-in all his ministers, the event which took place at the Aso Villa gathered the political top notch in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and well-wishers of the new ministers.
After the swearing-in, Buhari made their respective portfolios public and during the process of announcing, he categorically listed himself as the Minister of Petroleum.
It will be recalled that he (President Buhari) has said it many fora that he will take charge of the petroleum sector.
Many people were shocked as to the outright change of Mr. President on the issue of ministers without portfolio, he even said same when he went to India some couple of days ago. His reason was hinged on the dwindling economic status of Nigeria at the moment.
That Nigeria as a country for now cannot pay the salaries of 36 ministers but going by his announcement, all the 36 ministerial nominees, which are now ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria now have portfolios.
The new ministers should see this ample opportunity as another way to better the lots of Nigerians. But the onus is on them, either to prove to we Nigerians that the are not 'noise makers' or confirm the statement as made by President Buhari.
They should key into the reformation cum change agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari. I wish all of them a successful tenure as ministers.
