Recently in Nigeria, the Federal executive council was dissolved by the Acting President some weeks back. A new ministerial nomination list was sent to the parliaments for screening last week and there has been varying reactions from different bodies, organization and individuals. The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) was one of those that voiced out their concern about the non-inclusion of a medical professional to lead the Health Ministry in the present nominations.

To my mind and as an advocate, l believe there is a need to properly analyze some of this proclamations especially because the ministry is just a very strategic sector in the bid for the nation’s development and only a professional inclined mind for this sector can move on with most of the strategic goals in order to meet with both the local and international demand on the sector.. As advocate, we would continue to watch the processes towards the inauguration of the new cabinet and hoping that the presidency and all those involved have a plan for a meet up with demand of the health sector by ensuring the right person for the job takes the lead on it. Strategic sectors like health and education must be managed by experienced seasoned professionals who can help move this country forward by observing best practices.
