President Goodluck Jonathan today wielded the big stick by sacking the Minister of Youth Development, Inuwa Abdulkadir.
The directive was contained in a statement released from the
Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius
Anyim but failed to give reasons for the decision.
The statement which was signed by the Special Assistant on Media
to the SGF, Sam Nwaobasi, directed Abdulkadir to hand over to the Permanent
Secretary in his office with immediate effect.
The statement said, “His Excellency Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
GCFR President and Commander–in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of
Nigeria has relieved Inuwa Abdul-kadir, Esq of his appointment as Honourable
Minister of Youth Development with effect from the 26th of August, 2013.
“The former Minister is to hand over to the Permanent Secretary
of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development.
“Mr. President expresses appreciation to the Former Minister for
the time he put in the services of the nations and wishes him success in his
future endeavours,” the statement said.
