There are three Ministers that has worked with the Jonathan
administration that could make the cut when Buhari draws up a list for
his own team.
As the outgoing Goodluck Jonathan administration prepares to vacate office for the incoming government of Muhammadu Buhari.

Read below:....
1. Bolaji Abdullahi:
1. Bolaji Abdullahi:
Youthful Bolaji Abdullahi remains one of the best sports minister
Nigeria has ever had. Under his watch, the country’s sports sector
progressed astronomically and its development was glaring for all to
see. During his tenure, Nigeria won several laurels in sports.
But Abdullahi became a victim of political wrangling when he was
dismissed from office following his political godfather’s (Bukola
Saraki) disagreement with the presidency.
Abdullahi will likely find his way back to the Buhari cabinet given his
track record of excellence, unalloyed loyalty to Saraki and the fact
that he is not a typical politician – a factor Buhari has openly
expressed dismay for in appointing ministers.
2. Akinwunmi Adeshina:
It is safe to say he is the best thing that happened to the Jonathan’s
administration. His reforms in the Nigeria’s agricultural sector are to
say the least revolutionary.
His performance has earned him a role as a frontline contestant for the
position of President of African Development Bank (AFDB). Until his
appointment as Minister in 2010, he was Vice President of Policy and
Partnerships for the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).
Despite being in the opposition, Adeshina’s nomination got the backing
of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, a testament to the fact that even
the opposition acknowledges his immense contribution to the Nigerian
economy through his progressive aagricultural programmes. There are
strong insinuations that if Adeshina does not get the position, he will
be retained in the cabinet of Buhari.
3. Professor Barth Nnaji:
A professional to the core, Nnaji’s giant strides in the power sector
during his short stint as Nigeria’s power minister didn’t go unnoticed.
His reign in the ministry, for the first time, witnessed a situation
where the minister in charge of a ministry, actually understands the
workings of the ministry based on his experience and profession.
He is the founder of the first indigenous owned power generating
company in Nigeria. Nnaji distabilised the cabal feeding fat from
Nigeria’s power crisis.
He crippled them economically and fought them with all the resources at
his disposal. But at the end, he paid the price for daring the cabal by
bring roped into a controversial case and then lost his job. Nnaji who
has since retraced his political step and joined the All Progressives
Congress (APC) was part of the Igbo delegation that visited Buhari
recently and he has been mentioned severally by analysts that his CV
will impress the President-elect when he chooses to pick professionals
from the South-East. The 58-year old is a scientist, innovator and one
of the inventors of the E-Design concept.
Meanwhile, the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, will be holding a
secret meeting with petrol marketers on how to resolve the lingering
fuel scarcity causing Nigerians untold hardship.
