There must be a good reason behind this, President Buhari is a no nonsense man and for sure he doesn't want anybody messing with a resource like petroleum ::: As the nation awaits President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list, the President on Tuesday named Nigeria’s petroleum minister, and that is himself. Addressing some select reporters in New York on Tuesday, after addressing a Global Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism, the President said he would personally head the Ministry of Petroleum Resources in the new cabinet. His words: “I wil remain Minister of Petroleum. “I will appoint a minister of State for Petroleum”. According to him, this step is being taken as part of efforts to sanitise Nigeria’s oil industry, which is said to be plagued by corruption, massive fraud, and crude oil theft.
