According to a reliable source, the delay in the appointment of Ministers by President Muhammadu Buhari, will also delay America's help to the nation.
Despite the success of President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the United States of America last month, the U.S government was said to have informed him that it would not start to address the requests brought by the Nigerian government until Buhari sets up his cabinet.
According to THISDAY, U.S government stressed that while it was willing to help Nigeria address some of its challenges, its officials advised Buhari during his three-day visit to the country to set up his cabinet and put in place a crack team that could help address the multi-faceted problems of the country.
It was gathered that the issue was raised during some of the meetings the US government officials held with Buhari and his team, when the US, led by its president, Barak Obama, said it had expected Buhari to come to Washington with crucial members of his cabinet in order to hold productive deliberations.
A reliable source at the meetings, said the US officials were somewhat disappointed with the president’s team during the visit, which comprised mainly civil servants.
Although the source maintained that Buhari’s US visit was “highly successful”, given the renewed relations between the two countries, he stated that Nigeria should not expect much from the US until Buhari’s cabinet emerges.
