Buhari Might Appoint Himself As Minister Of Petroleum

President Buhari yesterday, Tuesday,sent a list of 15 special advisors to the outgoing national assembly for approval and which must be confirmed before the cabinet goes on recess.
Now,from a report I just read the president might likely appoint himself Minister of petroleum as he has knowledge of the petroleum section which urgently needs attention. As said by a political associate of the president who spoke to Reuters said,

“Nigeria’s oil sector is so dirty that nobody’s hands are clean enough to do the surgical changes needed”.

And the new president has made it clear that he wants to change the country’s refining sector, which has declined since Nigeria became dependent on imported fuel.

An APC source added that President Buhari wants the refineries to start functioning again.

Meanwhile the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has urged the President Muhammadu Buhari not to appoint any politicians, as the head of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

According to Buhari’s associate, the president would rather appoint himself than trust anyone else with the main source of Nigeria’s revenue.
