This Day
23 May 2011
As President Goodluck Jonathan prepares to unfold his make-or-mar cabinet after his inauguration this weekend, THISDAY can report that former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is top on his shopping list.
Also, former Senate President, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim, is being seriously considered for the position of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) if the recently agreed zoning formula of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is maintained.
However, THISDAY could not confirm Sunday night if three top current ministers Olusegun Aganga (Finance), Odein Ajumogobia (Foreign Affairs) and Diezani Alison-Madueke (Petroleum Resources) would return in the new cabinet.
Okonjo-Iweala, currently a Managing Director of the World Bank, commands respect globally and THISDAY learnt that President Jonathan wants her to return to handle the finance portfolio.
