Expdonaloaded News; EDUCATION 101: Searching for Minister of Education among Buhari’s nominees

Ministers
Many are called but few are chosen. That has been my dilemma since the Senate President Bukola Saraki unveiled, last week Tuesday, the list of ministerial nominees sent to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari.As you are aware, the screening, the Senate screening that is, starts today but my own screening started since last week after the names were announced but a week later I am still not done with it. 
The President did not make my job easier by his failure to attach portfolios to the names of the nominees. That leaves some room for unnecessary guesswork. That leaves you wondering how the Senate is going to screen the nominees if there are no offices attached to their names. How would they assess their suitability? Or, competence?
My dilemma? Since last week Tuesday I have been wracking my brain, trying to find out who among the twenty-one names released so far can make a good Minister of Education. I want you to take another look at the nominees. As the Senate commences their screening today, pray, which one of them do you think will make a good Minister of Education and help bring about the much-desired change we need in our education sector?
Those on the list are: Babatunde Fashola (former governor of Lagos State), Rotimi Amaechi (former governor of Rivers State, Kayode Fayemi (former governor of Ekiti State, Chris Ngige (former governor of Anambra State), APC National Publicity Secretary. Lai Mohammed, Senator Udo Udoma Udo, Abubakar Salami SAN, Ogbonnaya Onu, Aisha Alhassan, Abdulrahman Dambazzau, Kemi Adeosun, Adebayo Shittu, Solomon Dalong, Audu Ogbeh, Amina Ibrahim, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, Suleiman Adamu, Ibrahim Usman Jubril.
