On Tuesday Sept 29, President Muhammadu Buhari, told newsmen that he will rather take control of oil portfolio in his new cabinet, rather than trust any other person with the nations source of income.
President Buhari who promised to fight corruption, while taking oath of office in May, has been very vocal with his decision to overhaul the oil sector, in Africa’s largest economy, which provides the government with about 70% of its revenue.
“I intend to remain the minister of petroleum resources,” Buhari said in an interview on the sidelines of the annual meeting of world leaders at the UN general assembly in New York.
A minister of state would oversee the day-to-day running of the petroleum sector.
Buhari has not named a cabinet but is expected to submit candidates to parliament in the coming days.
