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.
He said that the first step in this direction had already been taken with the appointment of a new management for the NNPC and its subsequent reorganisation.
The President said the prosecution of those who misappropriated NNPC’s revenue under past administrations would soon commence.
On Corruption, he pledged that the federal government will fight corruption, because it has been identified as the root of all problems hindering Nigeria as a nation.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, for most part of his tenure, was also the minister of petroleum.

ReplyDeleteA step in the right direction. The price of petrol would hopefully be further reduced and from what I hear, we haven't even started with gas. #bettterdaysahead
ReplyDeleteHmmm! Anything for the betterment of naija. I give my support!
ReplyDeletelook at this man
ReplyDelete#GODWIN™
What is your father capable of, you stupid child? Did you pass through school or reverse is the case? Rid yourself of tribal sentiments and see the good in everything. Idiot.
DeleteAnon 09 52 you are here insulting everybody,s father ,I hope u know u wont live long ,you and your generation ,you need honey in your miserable life
DeleteYetinde says Mr president nw,haba why stress yourself when stella is here?you can appoint her and all dem special advisers plenty for dis blog ehn,baba just think about it.
ReplyDeleteWe all know that, the president is appointing himself as the minister of petroleum. I hope it will yield the desired result and not turn out to be counter productive, though he has a lot of experience in that sector but at the same time he has a lot on his hands.
ReplyDeleteSai bubu! !
ReplyDeleteOriegwu!
ReplyDeleteOk now
ReplyDeleteThis is sheer greed
DeleteAt his very old age?
ReplyDeleteYour father, at his age was lying on a sick bed..This was because he misused his time on Earth chasing frivolities. His life was so bitter, so is yours. I doubt you can attain Buhari's present age. I sincerely doubt it. If you refuse to wish him well, May it never be well with you and your likes. Stay tuned! Nigeria would be great again.
DeleteWasn't expecting less from u....
DeleteAnon 9 55 why wish someone bad when you don't know your own future ,bringing in someone,s dad here,the Internet has given room to people ,note that it may not be well with u too
Delete@ 13.07, is BuharI not someone's dad too? It is OK for Money maker to curse Buhari but you cry foul when the anonymous does the same.
DeleteWho does not know that money maker is always cursing Buhari on this blog?
How do you know if the anonymous that replied is not Buharis child.Abeg go and sleep, you are biased.God knows this is not anon 9.55, just an objective person.I wonder how any sane person will defend money maker.
Ok, let's see how it goes
ReplyDeleteThat's a good ideal 'sai baba'.. Theft in NNPC in d past administrations was massive jare.
ReplyDeleteHmm, so no other person is fit to help him sanitize the corporation except himself. Doesn't make any sense.
ReplyDeleteHave you not heard he's the only honest man in Nigeria? Let him become the minister of the country sef.
DeletePresent your father or any of your uncles or brothers. Let's see if they can manage a family. I see why you sound retarded. Growing up among ball-less MFs can be traumatizing.
DeleteCome this anon that is carrying buhari in his ass and walking around. Ara o na pu gi this morning? Come on get out idiot. Buhari doesn't give a shit about you nitwit. Can you imagine? Every single comment about Buhari that doesn't go in line with your watery brained thoughts, you go masturbating on it. Ka'm nukwa onu gi there. Mpama
DeleteYepaaAaaaaaaAaaaaaaA
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteCongrats Mr minister!
Yeah. Wish him and Nigeria well so your husband can get a salary increament and acquire you something to aid your mobility. Obviously, you have become so bitter from boarding countless rickety bikes. It's unfortunate that it's the sufferheads that have refused to see the good in the new administration. You pray for their success, you enjoy most of it, if reverse is the case? Your sufferings have just commenced. Uncouth illiterate. PORTABLE. You are too ashamed to add the R to your misspelt ID
DeleteOriegwu
ReplyDeleteThe man doesn't want to hear long stories. After all the country wether good or bad solely depends on him. Let him head it, seconded.
ReplyDeleteGbam enuf of the thief thief!
ReplyDeleteSai Baba carry go
AKA sumborri
I don't know why I always agree with whatever PMB does... I believe he's on the right track. May Allah give him the wisdom to lead us
ReplyDelete...allah?!#*!!!
DeleteSure
DeleteLovelace I don dey find u na
DeleteI hope his intentions are good, and I hope he's not getting extra pay for it. If not, that will count as hypocrisy. We no need such rubbish now.
ReplyDeleteWhy won't he head petroleum, ozu nwuru na uguru.
ReplyDeleteYour father can never get to where Buhari is. Senseless Igbo fuck.
DeleteIfy akwa MPA GI bu the ozu nwuru
DeleteNaguru? EZi ofia.
Tor
ReplyDeleteGOD help him
Gud day 2u Stella..my God will surely bless u for ur gud deeds.
ReplyDeleteBuhari..I sight u with 50mega pixel camera
The baba go slow and baba daura dullard himself. Nija i hail thee.
ReplyDeleteWhen your father was alive, i'n sure his intelligence woukd have rubbed off on you but unfortunately, he is also an Igbo dullard. Like it or not, Buhari remains President. You wish him bad, bad will follow you for the rest of your life. Obviously, the only way to tame these hating animals is laying proper curses on them.
DeleteOk na.
ReplyDeleteWe will saw
It's all good.. A better Nigeria is all I want!!
ReplyDeleteGood move
ReplyDeleteAfolabi Tosyne's Blog
Stupid move
DeleteMtcheeeeeeew
So will he also be paid for it? And why was d announcement made outside his own country first. Smh for dis man
ReplyDeleteU've not noticed that all his announcements r made outside Nigeria? Mtchewww
DeleteLol
DeleteBetter
ReplyDeleteGood step in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteIf oil department fail, his government will fail the nation. The way petroleum resource will be managed will determine how his government will impact the nation. It is better to be in charge of the resource by himself as someone who has handled PTF fund than allow one yeye minister to become another Dezani and other past oil ministers.
Thank you my guy.
DeleteI am surprised but I trust him wella. I know he'll do very well.
DeleteThis is the reason why other sector don't improve because we depend on oil alone in this country. Some countries don't have oil yet their economy is not as bad as ours. It time we diversify our economy by improving other sectors. What will become of Nigeria if the oil well dries up.
DeleteAt least the nation will hold him accountable for it. And only a leader who wants to be held responsible for his defaults will be transparent enough to assume such a highly tasking venture.
DeleteI thought he said he is down sizing. So he now getting a minister of state for petroleum is that not a dual appointment? Any way, what is my own.
ReplyDeleteOk ohh
ReplyDeleteI don't know why most of you are bamboozled by this man. By the time, you wake up from your deep slumber, you will realize this man's intention for Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteWhy will he head the Petroleum unit? Who will probe him? Who will check his actions?
He wants to keep enriching himself and the northerners to the extent that by the next fifty years, they will still be wielding power.
He should appoint a Petroleum Minister. This is not a welcome development at all.
XOXO MYSTERY
XOXO MYSTERY
Making sense.
DeleteYou read my mind. I have my reservations about this as well. We all know what Obj did as petroleum minister. I don't believe that PMB could not find one single honest person to be the minister of petroleum.
DeleteGbam!
DeleteJust N-E-G-O-D-U oooooooo
ReplyDeleteIt's better he heads ministry of education than petroleum. We need to do something fast about the educational system in Nigeria
ReplyDeleteLooking 4ward to a positive overhaul
ReplyDeleteI pray it yields good results.
ReplyDeleteI pray it yields good results.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good move, the oil and gas industry is very corrupt and needs to be sanitized. Infact, the entire country needs overhauling. May God continue to give him wisdom in governing us. Nigeria must be great again!
ReplyDeleteSo he is the only man that isn't corrupt bah? Time will tell
DeleteLove me jeje...how do you feel calling a 72 year old man a dullard??? I cringe at your level of courtesy and disrespect.
ReplyDeleteLove me jeje na person??If they are calling human beings out, will they call her? Mstchew
DeleteI know he has good intentions for the country but how will he multitask? Being president is stressful enough why add minister of petroleum to it?
ReplyDeleteWill the ministry be at a standstill whenever he isn't in the country?
Who will probe him ? How transparent will all his dealings be? This is a very sensitive position so there should be segregation of duties.
Anyway, I wish him good luck and I pray he has the strength to juggle both positions.
Exactly. And again, will he get double pay? As president and as petroleum minister?
DeleteNicole this is what I think. I think that if Buhari has the intention of stealing the oil and gas treasury dry, as many are thinking, he can do that conveniently by appointing a stooge to man that sector. If that is what everyone wants, he can appoint one to pls the citizenry. So really, whether he takes up that ministerial job or not, it will not stop him from "stealing" if it were to be the case. But I think that by directly taking up the responsibility of that sector makes him even more liable... in that he would have no minister to blame other than himself. I don't think that he'll subject his integrity to that kind of ridicule after so long a time. I sincerely doubt it. Well, this is me thinking aloud objectively.
DeleteNigerians, Apc, trusted and voted for this ma, Now he has no trust for anyone.
ReplyDeleteBuhari the tribalistic Hausa Goat.
He wants to be petroleum minister? must they face this oil? can't any leader in this country look at how to diversify the economy? why not minister of agriculture to help revamp that sector or solid mineral to open up that area and create extra source of income instead of depending on only oil? must they all do the same thing? I thought their slogan is change? you cannot do things the same old way and expect a different result.
ReplyDeleteFor that anon insulting people,s father ,ob sure your father is bed ridden in a cockroach infested house and then you think everyone,s father is like that,so must everyone support Buhari,I have a feeling you are his son or his daughter maybe ,God punish both you and your father miserable pig
ReplyDeleteI hope he is doing the right thing, am in support of what ever is good.
ReplyDeleteImagine this kind of thing.....
ReplyDeletebuhari is a great man! carry on baba! we are behind you....and we endorse buhari for 2019 also
