President Muhammadu Buhari will be the person in charge of Nigeria's oil
resources as he will probably appoint himself as the minister of
petroleum resources,Reuters reports.
Nobody's hands are clean enough to do the “surgical changes” needed, a political associate of the president reportedly said.
Another
political associate said: “He will do it. It would be stupid to give
that position to anyone else.”Buhari has extensive knowledge of the oil
sector, having been head of the Petroleum Trust Fund under military
ruler Sani Abacha in the 1990s and oil minister in the 1970s under
Olusegun Obasanjo.
“He’s emotionally attached to the refineries
because he built some of them. He wants them to start functioning
again,” the APC source said
