This is an intimidating profile. It makes me look as if I didn't attend a university.

*goes to hide her educational certificates*

Chineke meee!!

God bless Mr. President Jare! You know how to get the good brains to run your government.


Lalasticlala,come and see profile o! You go fear na!

Who's this Lalasticlala Does he really exist or a name of sth?

free2ryhme:


His little experience with the help of career diplomats he can keep up with the current happenings in world politics

The head of a foreign ministry is not an exclusive right of a career diplomat

Mind you the best minds in international politics did not start out as graduate of international relations and related courses

Just mention prof nebo & nnaji and reserve ur case

[quote author=love23a post=39921067][size=28pt]I dont know him. I dont think it is appropriate for buhari to pick anyone from the east at minister of Foreign Affairs

I am personally fully oppose to anything that will lead to mass starvation again. 1 million die.
People may wish to become a country, but is there life save. If your son , say he want to jump from a cliff, will you allow him.

Are you from Eke?

CSTR2:
What is intimidating here?
Go and check other countries foreign affair ministers and see their resume.
Many of them have decades of experience in conflicts resolution, UN foreign policy formulation, and with the added advantage of a nobel peace prize.
This is pretty mediocre, though for Nigerian standards may be intimidating.

the last foreign affairs minister under GEJ, did the dude have the aforementioned criteria? How about, in comparison with this current one's resume?

The man is well qualified, he comes from a family of academics and seasoned technocrats.. Dudes late father was former world court judge at the Hague..

Demmocrats:
If it was the era of PDP this man would have not even made a local government chairman.

Criminal History is an added advantage in PDP era


Sai Buhari.

GEJs list was filled with technocrats.

Sen Hillary Clinton
Sen John kerry
Williams Hague
Jack Straw

Are/were these 'career diplomats' who were appointed by various government in their land?

This idea of putting an engineer in charge of technical department/ministries etc is outdated imo.

Some departments need strong leadership and management experience to bring out the best of the civil servants working there.

But the head was rotten. ...even technocrats need strong leaders

Missy89:


Do you know the difference between a diplomatic experience and having a "great resume" ?

I don't think you can read. So the resume states that he was working as? Please am a government official and this is good enough to go in my ministry. His wealth of experience in cooperation and integration is a diplomatic assignment , what do u want? Envoy to Sec Gen? Or UNESCo director? Big shame. Please stop playing mediocrity here. Saad for this generation. Go and read again.

Why should i care if you are a government official?

Missy89:
So, in short, Someone with little diplomatic experience is heading the foreign ministry

Yeah.. That's how the animals reason and that's why the nation remains black.

They are already jumping in jubilation because of his good CV, forgetting that the main issue is his portfolio.

Before any iddioot will quote me, I am from Enugu State, the same as the minister.

I like his good CV, however, how does all that transform to what we want him to be doing for us in the foreign ministry?

Just mention prof nebo & nnaji and reserve ur case

Prof. Nebo served as the Vice Chancellor of Federal University Oye-Ekiti from February 2011 to February 2013, one of the nine (9) new start-up Federal universities in Nigeria. He served as Vice Chancellor of University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), from 2004 to 2009, served meritoriously and successfully with several awards to his credit. He is a diversified and detribalized Nigerian in every sense, held his primary education in Ibadan, Kafanchan, and Port Harcourt; a result of the nature of his father’s work while engaged with the Nigeria Railways Corporation. His decades of knowledge expertise and experience building and transforming institutions in Nigeria and abroad are an asset and distinguish him. He served as Deputy Vice Chancellor in the Enugu State University of Science and Technology from January 2000 to January 2004. In June 2004, on appointment as Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka, he successfully rejuvenated the university and completed several projects and programs that had been left undone, reviving the wounded lion and living up to his name “Ositadinma” meaning “from henceforth it is well,” restoring hope, healing, and beauty to UNN. For his remarkable achievements and noteworthy accomplishments, in 2006 the national body of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) elected prof. Nebo as the Best Vice-Chancellor in Nigeria, the following year brought the conferment of the same award by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), and the next, A Most Outstanding Vice Chancellor Award and induction into All Africa Students Union Hall of Fame. His most recent assignment, Prof. Nebo’s visionary leadership and management joined fore. He successfully created a convivial environment that promoted an enabling environment for increased harmony between the two host communities of the university and transformed a virgin forest into a university campus within 6 months, which many term “the six months miracle.” He is committed to the service of his community and has demonstrated this through chairing, supporting, managing, and advancing causes, NGOs, conferences, and workshops that advance human capacity development, nation building, spiritual and character development, education, healthcare, and the disadvantaged. He served as Member of Governing Board of the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency, National Steering Committee on Vision 2020, Governing Council of Nigeria Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), and Enugu State Development Committee (on the inception of Enugu State), as well as Chairman of Enugu State Committee for the Eradication of Cultism.

He served as visiting Professor of Metallurgical Engineering at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and the University of Nevada, Reno, in the U.S. and has authored and produced several publications in reputable international and local journals to date. Prof. Nebo’s recognizable and towering profile stands him out as an intellectual giant, a quintessential technocrat, an administrator par excellence, a man of stellar qualities, and a man of visible candor. His passion and commitment to excellence, servant leadership, and integrity to any and every organization or cause he is involved makes him a value-adder, unrepentant crusader, and insightful contributor to national building and transformation. He has been nominated to numerous prestigious biographies to include Who’s Who in the U.S., International Youth in Achievement, Who’s Who in Finance and Industry, International Book of Honor, etc. He received the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) in 2009 and the National Productivity Order of the Merit Award (NPOM) - conferred by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2009 and 2012 respectively.

He joined the faculty at University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1983. After a few years, he became the director and a founder of the Automation and Robotics Laboratory at the University. He was made a professor of mechanical and industrial engineering in 1992. As a researcher, he focused on three major topics: Computer Aided Design, Robotics and Computer Aided Engineering. Using the knowledge he gained from his research pursuits, he created the term geometric reasoning, the idea that most things we operate has a geometric configuration. He is also credited as one of the innovators of the E-design concept.

He is also the founder of the first indigenous owned power generating company in Nigeria and was also a former minister for Science and Technology in the country.

Wen I see a rotten head, I will know.

This is the 6th month since buhari has been screaming that he will probe GEJ n his ministers, till now he has done nothing, no evidence, no trials, NOTHING.

Proves 1 point, GEJ was clean.

He is really qualified for the job or ministry going through his career.
He is well deserved and I wish him and Nigerians success.
To be candid he and Chief (Hon) Audu Innocent Ogbe in Agriculture are my preferred
ministers.

How did you come to that conclusion? 6 months to gather evidence and start a trial; really? ?

maupe:

Aisha Abubakar, should have been given the foreign affairs portfolio, due to her long meritorious service in the UN. A lot could have been gained from her experience and contacts.

Aisha championed the MDG's cum SDG's for the UN. Now she's gotten Environment ministry. That's more than perfect

DisGuy:

Lol, who takes 6 months to get evidence.

Less than 3 months is more than enough to catch a man the Yoruba n Hausa claimed that he stole as much as 2 trillion Naira for election campaign
