Just a a week to the May 29 transition to a new
administration, the president-elect, Muhammadu
Buhari, has expressed his disappointment with
ministers of the outgoing President Goodluck
Jonathan administration for their uncooperative
attitude towards a smooth handover.
Buhari made his feelings known after he received an
interim report from the Transition Committee set up
to assist him transit smoothly to the Presidency
under the leadership of Alhaji Ahmed Joda.
"Buhari, however, expressed disappointment
that ministers and other government leaders
were not at hand, so far, to brief the
committee but he assured that since the
bureaucrats who write the reports will be at
hand after the departure of the politicians,
whatever is there will eventually be known. He
requested the Joda-led committee to be in
readiness to resume work the moment the
outgoing government's handover notes are
received,"
a statement issued by his directorate of media and
signed by Malam Garba Shehu said.
Earlier in his opening remarks, the committee's
chairman, Alhaji Joda, said his committee received
tremendous cooperation from members of the
organized private sector (OPS), Nigeria's
international development partners as well as other
stakeholders from across the country.
Joda revealed that the committee worked hard
through four sub-committees to arrive at the interim
report, adding, however, that the report did not
receive any input from the outgoing administration.
He, however, expressed optimism that the final
report of the committee would include the input of
the present administration, provided it is made
available.
According to the statement, the interim report dealt
with issues of good governance vis-a-vis the
executive, legislature and judiciary arms of
government, including finance and economy as well
as core sectors like agriculture, solid minerals and
oil and gas.
The report also looked at infrastructure, power,
national security, education, health and social
welfare, which feature in the manifesto of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Buhari thanked them for doing a thorough job and
presenting an interim report within the stipulated
time.
