How about Donald Duke? He was a commissioner during Clement Ebri's regime. You can't count that democratic dispensation. He later became a Governor at the age of 32

chimere66:
Bros get ur information right.Donald Duke (born 30 September 1961 in Calabar) was the Governor of Cross River State, Nigeria from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2007.So when did we start practising democracy in Nigeria?You can see he was commissioner before 1999.Understood?That is the essence of nairaland,share ideas and learn from each other

chimere66:
So who's the youngest?

naptu2:


We practised diarchy (partial democracy) between 1991-1993 (two political parties - SDP and NRC). The governors and members of the National Assembly were all elected, while the President and Vice President were not elected.

Did Prof. Barth Nnaji's profile not show that he had substance yet he failed as the then minister of power?

bobbymore:
Sorry, he is not the youngest democratic commissioner. Donald Duke was 25 when he was made a commissioner during then Clement Ebri's government of Cross River State. He was commissioner of Finance. Senator (Bar) Victor Ndoma Egba (SAN) was a commissioner at 27 though during a military regime. Besides if we go back into history another great Cross Riverian Chief (bar) Ambassador Mathew Tawo Mbu was 23 years old, when he became the first High Commissioner of Nigeria to the United Kingdom at the first Republic. Please check your facts first
