ABUJA —President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, assigned portfolios to the 36 new ministers with former Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN, and former Governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi emerging as the administration’s point men in the drive to improve the country’s infrastructure and transportation system.

Fashola emerged Minister of Power, Works and Housing with the distinction of having two permanent secretaries working under him.

Amaechi on his part, will supervise the nation’s transportation system, including Aviation, with a minister of State, Aviation under him.

President Buhari, who presided at the swearing in ceremony of the new ministers, said that the assigning of portfolios was done to put square pegs in square holes, adding that he strove to avoid the mistakes of past administrations in placing the new ministers, who he said were carefully chosen to reflect their capacities.

Yesterday’s inauguration of the new Council of Ministers was attended by President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun among other leading political stakeholders.

Following the inauguration, the first meeting of the Council of Ministers took place in the council chambers.............

In 2019, there would be so much development in Nigeria that Nigerians will beg and cry for buhari to contest.... he won't but he will project fashola and amaechi (being the best ministers who helped in transforming Nigeria) as president and vice or interchangeably

God will make it to happen

thats all

even vanguard a pdp igbo newspaper recognise fash and rotimi as super ministers

Amaechi a super minister? If amaechi is a super minister, then what is the minister of trades and investment that is probably Nigeria's most important appointment at this point in time.?
Heaping coals of fire on amaechi's head, innit?

My friend, Nigerian journalists are arm chair journalists.
Btw, amaechi is not the first minister of transport we are going to have. Nobody call them super-ministers in the past because they are not.
It is an important portfolio alright, but nothing super about it.
Infact right now, the super ministry is the ministry of trades and investment and then fashola's 3-in-1 portfolio. It baffles me that no one is talking about it.
Nigeria right now is in dire need of some solid investments and cash inflows. It is the ministry of trades and investments that would see it happen.
I think vanguard is trying to put the pressure on amaechi.

It's well deserved. It pays to be loyal and hard working! !!

How many ministers of transport have we had since return to democracy that supervised Aviation also?

Even Stella Oduah as Minister of only Aviation was regarded as an alternate president more powerful than Jonathan. Now you have Amaechi combining ministry of Transport and ministry of Aviation under ministry of Transportation and you're working hard to belittle it? fear God small na

Infact, Did you regard Olusegun Aganga who held ministry of trade and investment under GEJ as a super minister?

Even in your bad belle, you didn't see Finance as important as trade and investment? haba!

When was stella oduah regarded as an alternate president? It was jonathan that fired her afterall.
I am not belittling anything. It is an important portfolio but let us not take it too far. You are doing amaechi a disservice if you give him undue responsibilities.
As a minister of transport,he is mandated to renovate airports, build new ones where necessary, and then manage the NPA and its revenue generations, and also aviation revenues. That is basically all.
The more important duty of roads and rail construction falls under fashola's ministry of works.

You mean you never heard about the ''legend of the 5 presidents with GEJ as the weakest''?

Also you didn't mention that Amaechi would also build railways. Do you know how much a single railway coach costs?

Sorry, i don't take ramblings of a bitter old man serious.
The same '' weak'' GEJ has replaced him as the icon of democracy and governace in africa.

Whom do you take serious then??

You regard Vanguard (a pro GEJ and PDP paper) as arm chair journalists. Now you regard the man who highhandedly gifted GEJ the vice presidency and presidency as a bitter old man?

Anyway, they're both having fun at the moment. While GEJ was supervising elections in Tanzania, OBJ was supervising his in Ivory Coast.

Na their problem

Super ministers? Lol!

Hope they wear Capes to go with the tag!

O God, give Your love of justice to those who rule our land.
Help them to rule with wisdom and compassion,
so that the poor and powerless may be treated fairly and with justice.
Open their ears to the cries for help from those caught
in cycles of poverty, abuse or violence.
Give them wisdom to know how best to respond,
and courage to do the right thing, even when it may not be popular.
Under their rule, may the people flourish;
may there be lasting peace and plenty for all. Amen.

Long Live Nigeria,
Long Live Mr. President Buhari and His Cabinet
Long Live Ebiraland and Kogi State.

Onelove. Mr. President move in whichever way you think will benefit Nigerians... APC didnt grant Ebira people governorship ticket even when we came second on primaries, deputy was also deny of the ppl also minister was also takenway. still Nigeria must move forward and i believe God is involved... I dont see it as punishment from anybody. But am proudly an Ebirawoman.

So now that Amechi is minister of transport, Hope he can complete the Monorail he started.

When you talk of super Ministers, I don't think Transportation falls into that category.. Don't get me wrong, transportation is cool, but not super... We have power and works which has been given to Fashola, we have finance, we have petroleum which is our main source of revenue, we have defense which is going to control huge some of money because of insurgency.. Not to mention Justice, Trade and investment...

This is not the first time we have a transport minister, I can't even remember the last transport minister... But I know the power, petroleum, justice and defence Ministers of the last administration.

Only myopic minds felt that Oduah was an alternative president... If any minister came that close, it should be the ex-petroleum minister Allison Deziani
