President Goodluck
Jonathan yesterday appointed Professor Chinedu Osita Nebo from Enugu state as
the new minister of Power.
Malam Kabiru Tanimu
Turaki from Kebbi state is appointed Minister of Special Duties in the office
of the President.
A press
statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government Senator Anyim Pius
Anyim said the two ministers are to resume duties immediately.
The two ministers
were sworn in by the President on Monday and they were directed to see Senator
Anyim for their posting, but this could be done until yesterday.
The ministry of
power had no substantive minister since August when the incumbent Barth Nnaji
was forced to resign following the crisis that trailed the privatization
process in the power sector.
Meanwhile, the
Defence ministry remains without a substantive minister, Mohammed Bello
Haliru from Kebbi state vacated the post about a year ago
