Nigeria: President names cabinet
26.07.2007
Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua has announced his cabinet, almost three months after he was elected. Four members from his predecessor's administration have been given key positions, suggesting Olusegun Obasanjo will still be influential.
In the new line-up, the president will double as energy minister just like Mr Obasanjo did before him. This will make Mr Yar'Adua responsible for Nigeria's petroleum industry and its troubled power sector.
