Being the president of our prestigious country is already enough burden for a man to carry, already enough food on one man's plate, let alone being the Minister for the highest source of income in the country alongside.
From the southern part of the country the issue of the Biafra movement is still on, the northern part on the other hand is faced with the menace of Bokoharam, the country in general is faced with armed robbery and kidnapping. On 21st September 2015 Olu Falae ( Former
secretary to the Government of the
Federation (SGF)
January 1986 – January 1990 and a one time minster of finance) was
kidnapped on his farm on his 77th birthday,
with the kidnappers demanding 100 million
Naira ($500,000) ransom for his release. Falae
was released on 24th September 2015 after
paying ransom and returned to his home in
Akure. This is an issue of security the president have to deal with.
The economy sector of the country is nothing to write about. Just on the 5th November 2015 NNPC reported a loss of 120 Billion in 2
months. This is due to the decrease in International oil price, and the devalue in Nigeria's currency.
On November 25 Mr president said it himself that Nigerian roads are dead, meaning he has really got a lot of work to do in the transport sector, dealing with the liquid black gold is not just it.
I'm not against the government or anything, President Buhari is good, even though I haven't seen His impact after over 120 days in office, and handling the petroleum sector is just making it worst.
For me, I don't think it's possible for a president going for summits here and there in different countries to be in personal negotiation with oil marketers at the same time.
If Nigeria as a country is ever going to have a petroleum industry that will make sense, I would advise President Buhari to resign from being the petroleum minster. Because every aspect of Nigeria needs urgent attention.
