What your view on Buhari's New ministers and their portfolio.
Do you think the minister's selection is a mere reward system or justified action by the Buhari led administration
I doubt if the new set of Ministers are selected based on merit and if they were then the portfolio most of them were given is not in line with their profession or what they really know about. They were just selected to fill the vacant minister's position.
See the case of Aregbesola who was given the Minister of Interior, he specifically say it that ''He doesn't know anything about interior''. Our govenrment should go beyond the interest of their party but rather the interest of the people. There are lots of professionals who can handle all this post but they would rather give it to a member of their party who know little or nothing about the position they are given.
There are host of other ministers whose portfolio i believe is not the best for them or one at which they can perform well. But who are we to judge at this point as The end would justify the means.
