Ministers President Buhari May Sack In 2017

President Muhammadu Buhari may soon drop some cabinet ministers. Below are the top 5 based on a list released by Nigerian Bulletin online:

Minister of Youths and Sport Development - Solomon Dalung:

The red-beret Minister has throughout the year been in the eye of the storm. It is of the incapacity of a minister to man the Nigeria Sports Ministry, despite giant strides in various sports. Under him, Nigerian athletes have been disappointed, embarrassed on various occasions, with inaction and disparaging comments from him. Ranging from inability of the Nation's team to fly to various competitions owing to visa issues; non-payment of allowances, and all. The latest of his controversies being the non-payment of allowances to the Super Falcons after AWCON win.

Minister of Women Affairs; Aisha Alhassan: Taraba-born Senator Alhassan was away from her ministerial duty for a number of times due to ill-health. Media reported that Alhassan underwent orthopaedic treatment in the United States of America. Being away for too long should have been enough motivation for Alhassan to hit the ground running as soon as she returned. But Mama Taraba has not fared well on Women issues this year.

Minister of Finance; Kemi Adeosun. There have been so many calls this year for President Mohammadu Buhari to relieve Ms. Kemi Adeosun of her ministerial duty as the nation's economy has not fared well under her watch. It can be stressed that even though the country is in recession, the situation would not have been worse off if the economy has been better managed.

Minister of Niger Delta Affairs; Usani Uguru: The continued crisis rocking the Delta region, coupled with the blasts of oil installations have not been greeted with proactive measures from Mr. Uguru. In a Spetember 2016 report published by Sahara Reporters, Mr. Uguru Usani, was indicted for fraud and abuse of office during his tenure as a commissioner in Cross River State. Usani along with a firm, Gersh Henshaw & Company, defrauded the government of about N16m through a contract for the valuation of the assets of an agency under his ministry.

Minister of FCT - Mohammed Musa Bello: 

The minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was throughout the year' 'absent' in power. Since he assumed office, it has been complaints in the FCT, as many residents ask if there is a Minister in the nation's capital. Under Bello's watch, the city is returning back to its pre-El-Rufai days, when chaos was the order of the day. The minister is however a very popular face in the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport as he is always bidding President Buhari goodbye to his numerous foreign trips and welcoming him back too.

- January is just around the corner, so we'll know more pretty soon.
