President Buhari had recently directed ministers and permanent secretaries to redouble their efforts and work in synergy towards total delivery of his administration’s set target to improve the livelihood of all Nigerians.

The president who gave the charge at Abuja during his closing remarks at the end of a two-day mid-term ministerial performance review retreat also instructed the ministers to “ramp up implementation” of their mandates along the nine priority areas of his administration.

Looking at the high expectations that greeted the Buhari administration and the role of ministers in delivering democracy dividends, many Nigerians expected that their scorecard would be impressive.

Unfortunately, to the dismay of many, the performance of his cabinet members is not being checked, hence, the severe criticism on their poor performance.

some level of improvement, others contend that many of his ministers have failed to align with his change agenda.

To this effect, LEADERSHIP Sunday decided to rate and review the successes and failures of some of his minister’s since their inauguration on August 21, 2019 with a view to assist them brace up and help the Buhari administration deliver its campaign promises in the remaining years.

LIST OF ABSENTEE MINISTERS

1. Minister Of Education: Adamu Adamu

Adamu Adamu, an accountant and journalist by profession, was reappointed on August 21, 2019 after President Buhari’s reelection for second tenure. Sadly, two years down the line, the activities of the education ministry points to the fact that the sector has not left its pre-2015 state. There is no coherent policy to advance the quality of education. The education sector is today characterised by myriads of challenges, even worse than the sector has ever recorded.

2. Minister Of Federal Capital Territory: Mohammed Bello

President Buhari’s reappointment of Mohammed Bello as the FCT minister generated controversy among residents of the nation’s capital, as many said his administration, in the first tenure, looked the other way while infrastructure and other public utilities in the city decayed.

Residents of the nation’s capital have continued to decry the non-implementation of statutory budgets of the territory on yearly basis, a situation they believe is gradually turning most satellite towns in the FCT to glorified slums.

3. Minister Of Science, Technology and Innovation: Ogbonnaya Onu

There is perhaps no ministry in the current administration that is replete with activities such as conferences, workshops and seminars other than the ministry of Science Technology and Innovation.

The minister, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, a first class Engineer, is steering the affairs of the ministry with the support of the minister of State, Mohammed Abdullahi, and the permanent secretary Edet Sunday Akpan. The ministry has 17 parastatals and research institutes augmenting the efforts of the government to drive the process of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI).

4. George Akume minister of special duties and intergovernmental affairs Story

Also, the minister of Special duties and intergovernmental affairs, Senator George Akume since he assumed has not been involved in any major landmark achievements in the ministry, but observers beleive that he has been in a war of words with the governor in his home state, Samuel Ortom.

5. Ministry Of Mines and Solid Minerals: Arc Olamilekan Adegbite

The mining sector is well recognised in the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan of the Buhari administration as one of the strategic areas for the diversification of the economy.

6. Water Resources: Suleiman Adamu
The minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, has been rated below average by key players in the water sector. Adamu, who has been the minister since 2015, is said to have little or no achievements or success stories in the sector. This is even as experts in the water sector have complained bitterly that he has been focusing more on advocacy visits to states across the country to campaign against open defecation. They described his general assessment as “woeful”. Aggrieved experts in the sector have said they are unable to rate him high due to his dismal record.

My brother, the Benue people you listed there are all TIVs. Naturally, the Tivs hate development. They are still living in stone age and never travel out of the state for any reason. A typical Tiv man believe life is all about drink beer, smoke cigarette, eating pork meat, and head straight to lash pussy in a round hot with thatch roof, then give birth as many as you can. A 1920 Buhari is still civilised than any Tiv man around you today.

They are the majority in the state with 14 out of 23 LGAs in Benue state. Benue is backward today because these people would never allow another tribe like IDOMA to be a governor. They have been ruling since the existence of Benue state.

Finally, they are born haters of all other tribe in the state.
