President Jonathan Sacks Nine Ministers

By now if you haven't heard that our President Goodluck Jonathan has discharged some of his ministers from his cabinet, then you must be living under a rock or with spongebob under the sea.

Those affected include the Minister for National Planning; Dr. Shamsudeen Usman,Minister of State for Defence; Erelu Olusola Obada,Minister of State for Power; Zainab Kuchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Amb. Olugbenga Ashiru, Minister of Education; Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa'i, Minister of Environment; Hadiza Ibrahim Mailafa, Minister of State for Agriculture; Alhaji Bukar Tijani Borno, Minister of Housing and Urban Development; Amma Pepple and the Minister of Science and Technology; Prof. Ita Okon Bassey Ewa .

I do not know much about the duties of all the ministers, but feel Ministers of Education, Power (state) and Science and Technology justified being sacked as their sector seemed dormant and lackluster for their tenures.

I actually liked Ms Amma Pepple and Shamsudeen Usman. At least, we have something to analyze other than ASUU strike. Our otherwise 'actionless' President have shocked us all. Is it for the better? Only time will tell.
