Former Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola has been appointed the Minister of Power, Works and Housing.
Fashola got the big job on Wednesday, November 11, 2015, after being sworn-in by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
There has never been any doubt that the former governor would hold an important position in Buhari’s government. On October 13, 2015, before the president announced his intention to run for office, he paid a visit to Fashola leading to speculations that he would choose the then governor as his running mate.
However, the reports led to outrage with many, including former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, condemning the choice of two Muslims as candidates for the country’s highest offices.
Fashola also accompanied Buhari to the G7 summit in June soon after the president assumed office.
The former Lagos State Governor is a remarkable leader who has earned worldwide praise for his work in Nigeria’s commercial capital, hence it’s no surprise that he is now tasked with fixing Nigeria.
The importance of Fashola’s new assignment cannot be overemphasized.
He
is now in charge of three very vital ministries which before now used
to stand alone and is, as a result, being called the “three-in-one
minister” and a “three-in-one man”.
