TENSION: See List of 6 Ministers in President Buhari's Cabinet that have been Advised to Resign or Get Sacked

-


Buhari
Only four months have passed since President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated his cabinet, but some of the ministers have already been advised to resign by the dissatisfied Nigerian public and civil society organizations. 

Buhari, who was elected partly on a pledge to tackle corruption and insecurity, promised to select competent and clean personalities. Nigeria received its long-awaited government after 166 days when the president swore in his “saint ministers” on November 11, 2015.

But when the list was released, many were disappointed, asking whether the wait had been worth it, and whether those selected were the best in Nigeria. 

Below is the list of ministers that have been asked to go: 

1. Kemi Adesoun
The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders has defined Adeosun, as a misfit for the task if eventually confirmed by the Nigerian Senate. 

The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) once called the minister of finance to resign due to the padded 2016 budget.

Ifeanyi Ubah of Capital Oil also wants the minister to vacate her position because of the FOREX crisis in the country. 

She was also criticised for her arithmetic goof when the minister said that the addition of 16 billion and 6 billion would amount to N24billion 

2. Lai Mohammed

Nigerians said that Mohammed has established himself as an instrument of cheap propaganda and disinformation. 

Every time the minister speaks, Nigerians call for his immediate resignation. 

3. Ibe Kachikwu
APC south-south called for the resignation of petroleum minister after his “no magic wand” comment. 

The Nigerian Labour Congress wants Kachikwu to resign for saying that it was cheaper to import refined petroleum products than refine locally. 

Nigerians are not satisfied with his activities due to the incessant fuel scarcity in the country. 

4. Babatunde Fashola
Fashola has emerged under the Buhari government as one of the most important, if not the most important president’s men. 

However, both the NLC and Trade Labour Congress, TUC ask the minister to resign for increasing the electricity tariff. 

5. Heineken Lokpobiri
Members of his home chapter of the APC ask Lokpobiri, who is the minister of state for agriculture, to relieve his post. 

6. Rotimi Amaechi
There were indications that President Buhari is under pressure from the foreign community to sack his minister of transport following his indictment for corruption. 

Amaechi is one of the most controversial ministers in Buhari’s government.

A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Independent of the United Kingdom reported on Friday that researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona. After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months. Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN. But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives. Mitchell Warren, executive dire

Student of the state-owned tertiary institutions are reported to be currently out of schools following the strike embarked upon by the lecturers as a result of non-payment of their salaries.

Nigeria's imediate past minister of Finance ,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been indicted by the Nigerian senate over a N1.7t loss in revenue. According to the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Alleged Misuse, Under-Remittance and Other Fraudulent Activities, revenue agencies short-changed the Federal Government to the tune of N1.7tn as unremitted revenue generated between 2012 and 2016. The panel blamed it on a memo by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who allegedly issued the memo to the agencies to remit 25 per cent of revenue they generated to the Federal Government and spend 75 per cent on their expenditures. An interim report by the committee chaired by Senator Olamilekan Adeola, details this. The panel said the amount to be remitted to the Federal Government during the period by 93 agencies it investigated was N21.5tn. It alleged that 25 of the 93 agencies covered defrauded the government of a total of N1,695,585,887,406.
