Nigeria’s acting president sacked the head of the nation’s oil company Tuesday, the same day he swore in a Cabinet that put a former oil company employee in charge of the country’s petroleum ministry and an investment banker at the helm of its finances.

The moves by Acting President Goodluck Jonathan seemed to cement his power in Africa’s most populous nation, despite ill President Umaru Yar’Adua’s recent return to the country. Jonathan also said he directly would manage the nation’s failing power ministry, a move that could turn around years of struggles to produce power for Nigeria’s 150 million people.

Jonathan told the 38 new Cabinet members that they would sign public agreements on what he expected from their ministries. The ministers will be responsible for informing the nation on how they reach those goals, a rare show of accountability in a nation long considered one of the most corrupt in the world.
