Fashola: President’s super minister

• Issues that dog the portfolios

By Iheanacho Nwosu

THE wait is over. President Muham­madu Buhari yesterday assigned portfolios to the 36 ministers, end­ing weeks of suspense and specula­tions regarding the ministries those who would make his cabinet would oversee. With this development, the Buhari government has taken full shape. Interestingly, in the allocation of portfolios, Buhari clearly singled out one minister as what would pass for his trump card or anchorman. Yes, the allocation of the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing to former Lagos State governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, easily makes him a super minister. This shows that Buhari sees Fashola as the man to rely on, as the sectors (power, works and housing) are critical to the development of Nigeria.
