Likely comments from twerps:

1. When Buhari wants productivity, he knows where to find good heads.

2. Buhari wants to bribe and win SE.

3. They can't do without us.

4. He actually merit his retention, not that Buhari wants to retain him.

5. Buhari decides to retain him because his appointment is useless.

6. And many more.

The Expressions may come in various format different from the above, but essentially, that is what they will say.

Late lamidi cownu and his ipob miscreants are fools.

COMPAQ:
Are they really working in that office? With the crash in government revenue of expect to have heard a lot more about what they are doing in conjunction with ministry of finance on the budget.

There are too many agencies and parastatals who are not making enough of an impact on this country, but are taking from it by way of salaries and overhead costs.


Really? Budget office? Wow, lack of knowledge

You really can't write Akabueze's memoirs without mentioning the huge influence Tinubu had in his life and so many other Igbos that served in his cabinet, the vitroil directed at Tinubu by his kinsmen is unwarranted and misplaced.
Congratulations to Mr Ben Akabueze.

If he needs a godfather or benevolent sugar daddy like Tinubu to become all he has become, then is he really good? Is he really deserving? Come on. We're talking about a man who hasn't achieved anything meaningful in his life on his own. Serving Tinubu for 8 years as commissioner, and then serving Tinubu again as commissioner again for another 8 years (under Fashola), and subsequently being dragged by the blokos by Tinubu to become Budget Office DG in 2015 is hardly impressive. He is just a pathetic boy boy riding on a 'benevolent sugar daddy's goodwill, who hasn't independently proven himself to be a self-made star in the real world. Forget these useless bureaucratic government positions.

Who was Okonjo Iweala's government sugar daddy'?

Congrats bro for this man's appointment since everything is achievement to you


How has this Akabeze's achievement help a common Nigerians in this useless and godforsaken regime? How


What's the effect of this appointment, reappointment and tenure extension of this useless govt to the progress of this forced country?


You must think everyone must be licking balls of these quota system Alimajiri who are opportune to rule this country when eyes was black. Why not continue licking Buhari's balls, since whether he make sense or not means nothing to you and leave the rest of the sane minds to free their mind till he finished his useless tenure
then why are you people crying of nepotism and marginalization. You people are full of hate, nothing the president will do that will please you.
If he didn't appoint him you will be shouting up and down.

Tinubu Appoints Igbo As Commissioner

16 JANUARY 2007
This Day (Lagos)


Lagos — Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has appointed former Managing Director of NAL Bank Plc, Mr Ben Akabueze, as the new commissioner of Budget and Economic Planning. He hails from Anambra State.

https://www.nairaland.com/newpost?topic=5863711&post=89646802


Will they praise Tinubu for his wisdom, foresight and mentorship when he made Ben Akabueze the Commissioner of Budget and Economic Planning back in 2007 and Fashola for keeping him on for 8 years and eventually taking him to Abuja.?

Some people on this thread are making a common mistake. Mr Ben Akabueze did not serve an 8 year term as a commissioner in Bola Tinubu's administration.


Mr Akabueze worked at several banks in the 1980s and 1990s and rose to become the managing director and CEO of NAL Bank in 1999 (the year that Senator Bola Tinubu was sworn in as governor of Lagos). Mr Akabueze served as CEO of NAL from 1999-2005.


NAL Bank was absorbed by Sterling Bank in the 2005 banking consolidation and Mr Akabueze became an executive director at Sterling Bank.

He was made the Lagos State commissioner for budget and economic planning in January 2007, just a few months before Tinubu left office.


He served in that position throughout the 2 tenures of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola.

He was appointed as the special adviser to President Buhari on national planning in 2015 and then he was appointed as the director general of the Budget Office in 2016.

Correct, he was a Commissioner for budget and fiscal planning when Tinubu was Lagos Governor. We could also look at it this way, he was a Pastor at RCCG City of David back in those days, so could have been a recommendation of VP Osinbajo. Either way, I heard the man is good at what he does, quite diligent.

Tinubu set the ball rolling when he appointed him in 2007 regardless of many years he spent under Tinubu, but Fashola retained him and he served for 8 full years under Tinubu, Fashola and Tinubu pushed for his current appointment in Abuja.


Simple.
