| NEW CABINET MEMBERS IN GROUP PICTURE WITH PRES. BUHARI |
The President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari today,
Wednesday, November 11, 2015 inaugurated his 36 man Federal Executive Council (FEC)
after many months of anticipation by Nigerians. Some of his assignments of portfolio
include that of Minister of Petroleum which he kept for himself as earlier
hinted. He, however, appointed Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, present GMD of the state
oil firm NNPC as junior oil minister.
The FEC is made up mostly of politicians but the
President also appointed technocrats including Okechukwu Enelamah, who came
from the biggest private equity firm African Capital Alliance to take up the
post of minister for industry, trade and investment.
The former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi
Amaechi would serve as minister of transportation while the former governor of
Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola is to head the ministry of power, works and
housing.
Former investment banker Kemi Adeosun is the
minister of finance putting her in charge of Africa's largest economy.
The President also merged some ministries as
earlier anticipated but assigned each minister a portfolio contrary to hints
that some minister would have none.
