The Most Powerful Woman In TINUBU’s Govt.
The Story Of HADIZA BALA USMAN
By City People
Everybody is still talking about the recent cabinet reshuffle that led to the sacking of about five Ministers from the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu government. The speculation had been on for a long while that the President was set to rejig his cabinet and bring in new individuals with fresh ideas about how to go about solving some of the country’s myriad of problems. Two weeks ago, the president did just that. He dropped some ministers and brought in new ones. And one woman who has been said to be largely responsible for bringing to the President’s table the appraisal performance sheet of each minister, detailing how well or badly they fared on their job, their score card as adjudged by the public and the public’s perception of each one of them, is Hadiza Bala Usman.
No doubt about it, Hadiza Bala Usman is one of the brightest minds right now within the President Tinubu administration. She is the Special Adviser to the President on Policy Co-ordination. Her job is to provide the appraisal performance report of all the ministers currently under the Bola Tinubu administration. This very beautiful, intelligent and hardworking lady was the former Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA). She made such huge difference with her transformational policies at the NPA, this is why many who were disappointed at the manner in which she left NPA were extremely happy to see her return to government, securing a new and extremely vital position under the administration of President Bola Tinubu. For Usman, with this new appointment, a new dawn had arrived, marking the end of a challenging period for her.
