The
Federal Executive Council in Nigeria has approved two new private
universities. They are the Edwin Clerk University in Delta State and the
Hezekia University in Umudim, Imo State.
Also on Wednesday,
President Goodluck Jonathan swore in two new Federal Commissioners to
man the Civil Service and Federal Character Commissions.
Briefing
reporters after the council meeting, the Minister of Information
Patricia Akwashiki and Minister of National Planning, Mr Abubakar
Sulaiman, said that the Federal Government, under Goodluck Jonathan, is
still fully in charge and would not tolerate any paralleled government
by the incoming administration of General Mohammadu Buhari.
The
council meeting started with the swearing in of the two new
commissioners, Ambassador Toye Olofuntoyi, who is the commissioner in
the Civil Service Commission while Ambassador Abdullahi Shinkaffi is the
Commissioner in the Federal Character Commission.
The Federal
Executive Council said it considered as uncharitable some of the
utterances said to be coming from Buhari’s party as efforts are being
made to ensure a smooth transition programme on May 29.
The
Council maintained that whatever was the outcome of the election should
be in the national interest of Nigerians and how to enhance and promote
it at all times.
