Nigerian President new cabinet

Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua has announced his long-awaited cabinet in the capital, Abuja. Four members from the previous administration have been given key positions, suggesting Olusegun Obasanjo will still be influential. I am very optimist on the progress of the new cabinet. I am encouraged by administration’s progress thus far. To me, the key highlight is the unity government concept and the screening of appointees by the senate. I applaud Yar’Adua’s initiatives. Past leaders had the mentality that the winner/winning party takes all without considering the opposition. Nigeria is making key strive, people tend to forget she is a young democracy. I feel its unrealistic comparing Nigeria against western standards.
