-He advised the President to shift focus to other sectors, solve the unemployment problem, tackle electricity A People's Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker representing Enugu North senatorial district, Senator Chukwuka Godfrey Utazi, has outlined the areas of failure of the Muhammadu Buhari government. Utazi who is also the Senate Committee Chairman on Anti-Corruption made his observations in an interview with Leadership newspaper. According to the Senator, President Buhari made poor decisions with the portfolios given to some of his Ministers.n the opinion of the Senator, some portfolios were akin to putting square pegs in round holes. Utazi used the examples of Kemi Adeosun, the finance minister, whose highest professional experience still does not adequately equip her to handle such a sensitive position. He said, “The lady minister there (Mrs Kemi Adeosun) we know she is an accountant. But her highest professional experience was working in a local government in London as a Treasurer before the government of Ogun State appointed her as Commissioner for Finance. For a nation’s Finance ministry that coordinates all other important economic organs and agencies in the country, her professional antecedents so far is not enough. She has been trying her best to ensure that the nation comes out this recession, but l know that Nigeria has a consortium of more competent persons in that field who can do things better.” He also made reference to Audu Ogbeh who mans the Ministry of Agriculture. He noted that Ogbeh’s academic background did not equip him to effectively handle the ministry. Not left out also, were Udo Udoma and Babachir Lawal. He stated that “the APC government, under President Muhammadu Buhari, also made the same mistake in appointment of the Secretary to the Government, SGF. Mr Babachair Lawal is an Engineer who doesn’t know anything about running a government and has never been in government.”
