Lmaooo. Which Enugu? Lagos following Fulani's territory?

Godgay:
which Enugu?*

Is it my fault? Blame those people on BBC Hausa for not talking about them.

And you have also exhibited your own ignorance by failing to understand the point or even reading the post.
the point was that - no matter the system, the political head of a ministry does NOT have to be a professional in certain fields or even a person with any knowledge of the field at all.

That was the point.
And if you notice, I also mentioned a case from the U.S, which also practices a presidential system of government.

Next time, read through and try to think before you respond.

Cyberknight:


you need to understand how the government is supposed to work.
The political head of a ministry simply represents the head of government and is in charge of ensuring that the government's wishes and policies are carried out in that ministry, where applicable. The professionals, i.e. the civil servants, are responsible for carrying out these policies - their job being to faithfully serve whatever government is in power.

So, for example, maybe APC has a policy that requires free health care for rural dwellers, or suchlike. The APC minister for health now tasks the civil servants in the ministry to come up with a procedure for implementing this policy by interfacing with all concerned, the doctors in the rural healthcare centres, the leaders in rural communities, etc. You do not need to be a doctor to make this happen.

Secondly, in purely technical issues, like for example, the cited Zika virus combat strategy, again, you have doctors, public health specialists, etc, etc, working for the Ministry of Health. It is THEIR job to come up with strategies and all you do is to approve or not approve and pass it on to and/or liaise with the other ministries concerned (fr example, implementing quarantines usually involves the cooperation of agencies under the Ministry of the Interior).

Go to other countries, like for example in the UK, the health secretary is a former Japanese teacher and consultant, in the U.S the health secretary is a professional administrator and you will see that the system works. It's only here, where vested interests rule, that we have this type of stupidity, because the doctors and lawyers dislike being controlled by non-members of their profession, which usually has negative effects. It is one of the reasons why the general hospitals in Imo State became dysfunctional, as the doctor-administrators were never able to sanction erring doctors and turned a blind eye to their activities.

As an aside, the current UK justice secretary (Minister for Justice) was a journalist, not a lawyer and was also once the education secretary.

When Buhari is through with Nigeria, there will be no use stealing the naira as it will have no value!


President Buhari is, Indeed, winning the anti-corruption war.

Sai Baba!

Cyberknight:


Nothing wrong or strange about that. What exactly does being the political head of the Ministry of Health entail that only doctors know? Or why should the political head of the Ministry of Defence be a serving or retired soldier? Or the commisioner for justice be a lawyer? This doesn't happen in other, civilised nations,; its only here that certain professions insist on having a lock on certain political positions which ends up weakening oversight and promoting cronyism.

I wonder the impression this man creates to the world about nigeria. Goes about making mouth from Nigeria to Mumbai, london, etc

Incoherent speeches, no road-map, depends on aides who are not professionals but mere political goons.

Advanced countries of the world will be mocking us secretly, nothing seems to be working in the name of fighting corruption.

This is what we get when we succumb and make decisions based on a skilfully sold propaganda where an old man who couldn't spend time acquiring further education aside secondary school papers can now appoint a SAN as a minister after being delayed for 6 months.

All these time wasting won't prevent the type of corruption entrenched in the fabric of this country. A thief will always steal as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

The CBN head is having a free-hand dishing out policies with the experience of managing a local bank. No check. No critical examination. Just roll 'em out

We are in for a long haul
