Reuters is reporting that Nigeria’s New President Muhammadu Buhari is
expected to double as the Minister of Petroleum Resources.
According to the international news service,
(Buhari) is likely to keep the oil portfolio for himself in the
new Nigerian cabinet, rather than trust anyone else with the
source of most of Nigeria’s revenue and traditional fount of
corruption, associates say.
Nigeria’s oil sector is so dirty that nobody’s hands are clean
enough to do the “surgical changes” needed, one long-standing
associate told Reuters on condition of anonymity because the
cabinet decision is still under wraps.
Another political associate said: “He will do it. It would be
stupid to give that position to anyone else.”
