| Stated Role |
This is a new proposal advanced by President Yar'Adua in September 2008: "To make sure that the workload is given the necessary focus, two ministers are being proposed. One will be in charge of development of Niger Delta area whereby construction of roads, electricity, etc instead of being handled by ministry of works or power will now be aggregated in this new ministry for better focus, quick implementation to demonstrate the seriousness and commitment of this administration. "The minister of state will take charge of youth empowerment because the Niger Delta has a twin problem of development of youth empowerment."<P>http://allafrica.com/stories/200809110015.html |
