Oops! President Goodluck Jonathan took us by surprise when
he announced the immediate reshuffling of the Executive Council of the
Federation (FEC) this afternoon.
The reshuffling affected six
ministers and three ministers of State.The affected Ministers include those for Environment (Hadiza Ibrahim Mailafa); National Planning, (Shamsudden Usma); Education (Ruqayyatu Rufa’i); Science and Technology (Ita Okon Bassey Ewa); Housing and Urban Development (Ama Pepple) and Foreign Affairs (Olugbenga Ashiru).
Also affected are the Ministers of State for Agriculture, Bukar Tijani Borno; Defence (Olusola Obada) and Power (Zainab Kuchi).
Although details are vague on reasons for this development, there is no
doubt that this occurrence is related to the on going Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU) strike which has left so many faces
frowning in the country..
I only hope that the so-called reshuffling helps in some way to
resolve the compulsory holiday the federal university students were forced to take.
