| Day 30: Buhari’s Government on Standstill |
The delay by President Muhammadu Buhari to make key appointments thirty days after assumption of office is taking a serious toll on governance in Nigeria.
Apart from naming one protocol official: Lawal Kazaure (State Chief of Protocol), Ahmed Idris (Accountant General of the Federation) and two media aides: Femi Adesina (Special Adviser, Media and Publicity) and Garba Shehu (Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity), Mr. Buhari is yet to make any other key appointment. In addition to these appointments is the oddity of Buhari’s appointment of Laolu Akande as Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity, to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
