Against all odds, former governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola emerged the biggest winner as President Muhammadu Buhari assigns portfolios to ministers.

Fashola secured the ministries of Power, Works and Housing.

The Ministries are considered power houses of any administration – particular issues of power and works in isolations.

Erratic power system and bad road network are generally labelled the bane of the nation’s economic growth.

‘’they are the miseries of every good business plan and killer of flourishing business initiatives’’ multiple sources affirm.

Though investigation revealed quite a number of good names have been soiled attempting to tackle at the anomaly that pervades either of the sectors, for Fashola to have the opportunity take the challenge headlong is a grand opportunity to leverage into national greatness.

And this is against the backdrop of intense political battle that brought him this face.

He was decorated with all manners of allegations that nearly reversed almost entirely reversed his image of party poster boy – until the latest twist indicate he remains in good book of the presidency.

Another in the eye of the storm party chieftain, Rotimi Amaechi is saddled with another herculean task – making sense of the Transport sector as Minister In charge.

‘’Considering the interest the sector has received in recent time as regards opening up routes for easy networking of parts and whole in the spirit of national growth, Amaechi certainly didn’t get a pittance ministry like some pedestrian thinkers are bandying about town’’ a source analysed.
