Jonathan Inaugurates New Cabinet (Full List)

Nigeria's acting President Goodluck Jonathan has sworn in members of his new cabinet.

A senior executive at the investment bank Goldman Sachs, Olusegun Aganga, has been appointed finance minister.

Thirteen members of the new cabinet are from the dissolved government, Reuters reports.

Mr Jonathan has placed former Mines Minister Deziani Allison-Madueke in charge of the country's oil ministry, a key post in the oil-rich state.

Mr Jonathan has outlined his main priorities as electoral reforms, security in the oil-producing Niger Delta, providing a more reliable power supply and fighting corruption.

In March, Mr Jonathan dissolved the entire cabinet and made new nominations, most of which were accepted by Nigeria's senate last week.

The new cabinet is expected to remain in place until elections due next year.

These are due in April but could be held in January.

President Umaru Yar'Adua has not been seen in public since he fell ill in November 2009.

Jonathan Jonathan Jonathan

Regardless of any reservations, the Commander-in-chief has spoken and this is his honeymoon period so lets see whether they produce results.
We have to live with it cos the bucks stops at his table.

Shocked about Bello Adoke (But surely Jonathan Knows something we dont know)

Happy with Daizani Allison (Thought there is something fundamentally wrong if a former Shell Director and Bayelsa lady is being bullied and prevented from emerging as Petroleum Minister, I applaud Jonathan for showing he is ready to take big decisions and stand by them.)

But all in all, GOODLUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to the new team

This issue of junior minister (minister of state) does pisses me off anytime i come across it. The question is are they really needed? Sheer waste of scarce resources.

Dora,Aganga and Allison-well deserved.
Isa Ibrahim in sports after failing on works abi roads,sa2010,no hope.
