Summary
Taking a major step to weed out incompetence and strengthening, Acting Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan dissolved cabinet in Abuja, Nigerias capital.This comes after Jonathan replaced Justice Minister Michael Aondoakaa and appointed Aliyu Gusau as a security adviser. Jonathan himself was appointed Acting President only on February 9 following a weeks long power vacuum following the illness of President YarAdua.His continuing absence from office is said to be causing concern amongst investors regarding the countrys direction. YarAduas failure to formally hand over to Jonathan upon his departure and the unclarified role played by the First Lady since his return has led to many prominent Nigerians calling for his resignation.
