SAN FRANCISCO, August 29, (THEWILL) - The exit of Minister of Defence, Dr. Haliru Bello and Minister of Power, Professor Bart Nnaji has not affected the day-to-day operations of the ministries neither has the Presidency taken over the Ministry of Power, the Presidency said Wednesday.
Presidential spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, in a telephone conversation with THEWILL, said the minister of state in both ministries have been managing the affairs of the ministries since the senior ministers vacated their positions.
“The exit of the ministers has not created any vacuums in the ministries as is being speculated. The Ministries of Power and Defence both have ministers of state who work side by side with their senior ministers just like governors do with their deputies,” Abati said, adding that news reports online (Not THEWILL) that the president has taken over supervision of the Ministry of Power is speculative and totally false.
By Abati’s statements, the defence ministry is now overseen by Erelu Olusola Obada, the minister of state for defence, while the power ministry now has Mr. Dairus Ishakwu, the minister of state for power, overseeing it.
