HIT or MISS? Did the President fulfil his promise to name Ministers by September? #TheList

President Buhari had earlier made a promise to Nigerians that the Ministerial List (aka Noise Makers List) would be ready by september.

However, the President only got the list to the Senate around 5 pm after the close of Senate proceedings. The nominees were also not released to the public adding unnecessary drama to a simple process.

This means that the nominees will be screened by the Senate in October and only then will the President be able to form his cabinet.

Senate President Bukola Saraki has confirmed that he has received the ministerial list from President Buhari.

The list was sent via the president's aide.

Saraki promised to follow due process in the screening.

Has anyone seen the list, do let us know who is in it.

"End nomadic cattle rearing" - Afenifere tells FG [PUNCH]

Pa Reuben Fasonranti

The Pan Socio-Political Organisation, Afenifere, has called on the Federal Government to abolish nomadic system, so as to stop the criminality allegedly committed by the Fulani herdsmen in the rural communities of Yorubaland.

This was contained in a communique issued on Tuesday at the end of the monthly meeting of the organisation held at the residence of its leader, Pa Rueben Fasonranti, in Akure, the state capital.

In the communique read by the Publicity Secretary of the group, Mr Yinka Odumakin, the Afenifere decried the state of insecurity in the country, particularly, the recent kidnapping of a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, last week.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday named Nigeria’s petroleum minister. And that is himself.
Mr. Buhari said he would personally head the Ministry of Petroleum Resources in the new cabinet.
Addressing some select reporters in New York on Tuesday, after addressing a Global Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism, the President said: “I will remain Minister of Petroleum.
“I will appoint a minister of State for Petroleum”.

According to him, this step is being taken as part of efforts to sanitise Nigeria’s oil industry, which is said to be plagued by corruption, massive fraud, and crude oil theft.
Mr. Buhari restated his determination to sanitise Nigeria’s oil industry and free it from corruption and shady deals.
