NEBO AND TURAKI GIVEN PORTFOLIOS AS MINISTERS.

Chinedu Nebo and Kabiru Turaki

Professor Chinedu Nebo from Enugu state has been appointed the substantive minister of Power by President Goodluck Jonathan on while Kabiru Turaki from Kebbi state was also appointed Minister of Special Duties in the office of the President.

A press statement signed by the Secretary to the Federal Government, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim said the two ministers are to resume duties immediately.

Masquerade234 recall that the two ministers were sworn in by the President on Monday and were directed to see the SGF for their posting, but this could not be done until yesterday.

The ministry of power has been without a substantive minister since August when Prof. Barth Nnaji was forced to resign following the crisis that trailed the privatization process in the power sector.

Meanwhile, the Defence ministry which was vacated by Mohammed Bello Haliru  from Kebbi state about a year ago, remains without a substantive minister and this has lead to jitters amongst Minister about an imminent cabinet reshuffle..
