If President Muhammadu Buhari follows the
recommendation of the Ahmed Joda-led transition committee, all the last
minute appointees of the former president Goodluck Jonathan will soon be
sacked.
In less than two months, ex-president Jonathan, not previously known to readily hire and fire, sacked dozens of top officials and replaced them before leaving office, especially after losing the March 28, presidential election.
The committee has now urged President Buhari to terminate all Jonathan’s dubious appointments and review all contracts awarded by the administration in the last 18 months because it will help the new government cut out ineptitude and waste, and scale up its revenue base.
In its 800-page report which contains extensive analysis of Nigeria’s key challenges, with suggested responses for the economy and finance, government and social welfare, obtained by Premium Times, the committee detailed a list of prompt, medium and long term decisions President Buhari must take, or authorise, within 30, 45, 60 and 90 days of taking office.
It said:“non-strategic contracts that have not commenced or where no payments have been made can be cancelled,” adding that the president must negotiate exits for projects where mobilisation payments have been made but work not commenced in order to “save expenditure on non-strategic projects, and can free up cash flows for other vital initiatives.”
The Joda-led committee also said that the president should review all appointments made by Jonathan in the last nine months, and “for strategic agencies requiring professional leadership, the government should terminate all appointments not based on merit.”
