President Muhammadu Buhari had on 11th November, 2015 assigned portfolios to 36 ministers who are expected to implement his ‘change’ agenda.

Presiding at the swearing in ceremony of the new ministers, Buhari said that the asg of portfolios was done to put square pegs in square holes, adding that of his team were carefully chosen and assigned portfolios to reflect their capacities.

More than 3 months after the ministers were assigned portfolios, some have refused to come out of their shell.

Top sources within some ministries have posited that most of Buhari’s ministers are technically unfit for some of the ministries they were posted to, and have continued to make blunders and have become stumbling blocks to the istrations ‘change’ agenda.

Post-Nigeria gathered that President Buhari is said to be under intense pressure from some ‘powerful’ forces, including his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, to “undertake a cleansing of the Federal Executive Council, FEC.”

As part of the impending restructuring, the following ministers have been seen to be doing nothing and many have recommended for their immediate disengagement before they lead the Buhari istration astray.

Geoffrey Onyeama – Minister of foreign affairs


Many had hoped that he would wield in his international expertise into Buhari’s agenda, however, more than 3 months after his appointment as the minister of foreign affairs, Nigeria as the giant of Africa still does not have a focused foreign policy agenda.

The failure to manage Buhari’s public and international perception has been traced to the lack of a foreign policy agenda.

If a nation’s foreign policy is understood as the expression of its national interests vis-à-vis other countries, it follows that foreign policy decisions need to be made and expressed and should not be left only with the so called Buhari’s ‘body language’.

Aisha Alhassan – Minister of women affairs


“Mama Taraba” was reported to have told the grieving chibok parents that they were not invited, during their visit to the villa. She was also reported to have told them that, the girls were not kidnapped under the current government, “so why are you harassing us?” As if the diatribe was not enough, Minister Alhassan reminded them: “You wanted schools, you wanted hospitals, you wanted this and that… you wanted so many things.”

As a minister of women affairs, many had expected that she would have been at the fore front of the chibok agenda. She has no doubt failed to carry the women folks along. Hence, there is an urgent need to find a suitable replacement.



Kayode Fayemi – Minister of solid minerals


The former governor of Ekiti state shocked many when he was assigned his portfolio as he was reported to have said that he would need time to learn in his ministry. An ission that nothing much should be expected from him as he did not envisage he would be posted to the ministry of solid minerals.

More than 3 months after he was assigned the portfolio, the former governor is yet to convince Nigerians that he is the right man for the job.

Lai Mohammed – Minister of Information and culture


He is a specialist in image laundering; he has refused to move on from the days of political campaigns. His public statements have done nothing, but dent the public image of the Buhari istration. He speaks on every issue, even though he does not have the right information, he would always speak.

He has continued to blame the previous government for the failures of the Buhari istration. He once said the 2016 budget was not padded, whereas the President itted that his budget was padded. Many believe the former spokesperson of the APC would be more productive if he returns as the spokesperson of his party.

The current state of the economy is enough for the minister of finance to resign her position. The confusion within the economy especially on policy statements has been attributed to her inability to steer the ship of the Nigerian economy.

More than 3 months after she was handed the portfolio as the minister of finance, many Nigerians have become worst of, as poverty and hardship are now the order of the day.

Adebayo Shittu – Minister of Communications


The controversy surrounding the MTN fine has exposed the lack of managerial qualities of the Minister of Communications.

The hullabaloo trailing the role of the Ministry in the out-of-court settlement by MTN Nigeria, and its payment of N50 billion to the Federal Government still remains unaddressed. It is worthy to note that the telecommunications regulatory organ, the Nigeria Communications Commission, NCC, has been shielded away from the settlement process.

What other reason do we need to convince us that the minister of communications seems to be finding it difficult with his current portfolio.

Muhammadu Buhari – Minister of Petroleum Resources

He has been tagged the junketer-in-chief for his frequent foreign trips, which are still yet to yield benefits to many Nigerians. Many have forgotten that he is the current minister of petroleum resources and hence should be held responsible for the frequent fuel scarcity in the country.

The best decision Buhari must make is for him to relinquish his position as a minister, because his effect has not been felt, more than three months after.

They are taking turns, wen corruption ministers are done handing-over corrupted politicians to EFCC. Mtcheew

Glo bis from #1000 to #1400. I dey vex for dis govt die.

Apart from Ibe Kachukwu who is trying to get to work,NO OTHER minister in the entire cabinet is doing anything,including the brand ambassador of Jonnie Walker himself,Buhari who also is the Minister of Petroleum.

OP I don't think you understand governance. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs as well and that of Finance are fully involved in negotiating all the bilateral agreements that the President has signed. Don't think that the President hops into the plane and gets few minutes to negotiate such agreements. Ministers are for policy direction; it's not about noise. Buhari's image at the International fora is at its peak. The abuse from local online media is because it's the first time an incumbent lost an election and ers of the past istration are still finding the pill bitter to swallow

Honestly wit dis leg buhari nd his ministers ar bring out, Nigeria will be notin to write bout in de nxt few years.
God bless Nigeria

For me I will say all of them are doing nothing. Buhari aka Onye ije is the worst among them followed by Fashola, I can't the last time I saw light in my area. I know zombies will invade here to blindly argue the obvious truth.

do we have wailers in the house?

funny seeing the name of Lai Mohammed on The list... The man must be like like, all these talk i have been talking nko?... But seriously, this istration needs a kick up its backside cus it seem faulty somewhere

ALL the ministers ate doing absolutely nothing

A thread for wailers. #istandwithBuhari#

Until d masses begin to feel d impact of ds govt,all d ministers are culpable.

How will this post make 2019 come quicker?

Its the same with previous istrations, only few ministers work. The rest are there to make up the numbers. But I know dat its going to be this way because the personality of Mr president was overrated before the election.

kai chanji shege!

Don't forget Audu Agbe, min.of Agric.
The man has been poor in revitalising the agric sector for Economic diversification.

Are they not noise makers, noise makers don't do nothing

Lolzzzzz

How about the minister of transportation? Should Buhari be traveling round the world alone?

Op is too biased and economical with truth....non has started anything progressive. No direction.

Kinda overrated personalities. ..

This is a bad joke. Nobody is working in this istration, including Buhari and Osinbade. No need to pick on a few.

So very true!
Watch as APC zombies attack this thread or attack the OP by calling him an IPOB member.

We should desist from political sentiments and embrace the truth.

I do not expect the ministers to work or take actions,after all they are mare noise makers-M.Buhari 2015.

Who told you Bubu isnt working,he is working under a wrong portfolio. He ought to be minister of aviation,he sure knows how to junket round the world.

Come @OP, take your time there. How can you say that Oga Liar Mohammed is not working? As a minister of PROPAGANDA, he is working above limits sef.

Meanwhile, I hope you have blamed GEJ for today?

Rubbish Quote

What do you expect them to do? Most of them are either confused or incompetent. They don't understand the direction of the oga @ the top and the senate not ing the budget is not helping issues.

too early to judge any ministry. even fashola that is working we are yet to see the effect of his work. how can u say lai Muhammed is doing nothing, is keeping quite something as a minster of information?? minster of foreign affairs doing nothing too?? do u kn his impact in different trips of the president to foreign lands?

well if u are doing nothing you are doing something only that it's noting.

I kn this is wailers thread anyway

This is one of the most Biased writeup I have ever read during and after the election. OP is a learner and further go back and learn how to write constructive objective writeup! !!!

As a minister of petroleum Buhari is a failure and disappointment with what we are witnessing on fuel issue
Then as a president, posterity will judge him.

So, in the last 100 days or thereabout they have been ministers, with the 2016 budget not yet ed, one slowpoke sits down in his coven and begins to write nonsense.

d only minister i kn is doin notin is d minister of power, babatunde i.diot fashola. odas dey try

4,5 and 7 are worst among others

What has Buhari done himself?

An Ijaw proverb says a fish gets rotten from the head. If the master no work; the boys no go work too.
