It is very alarming to me that President Goodluck
Jonathan of Nigeria needs to have an “army” of communications staff.
1. Labaran
Maku, Federal Minister of Information
and Communication to President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria.
2. Reuben
Abati, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Goodluck Jonathan of
Nigeria.
3. Doyin
Okupe, Senior Special Assistant for Public Affairs at Office of the President
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Why is this needed? It seems to me that it is
excessive to have this many staff people with the same job. Is the President that
big of a liability that this many people need to be on staff to create, filter
and script his communications?
If this is true, why is he in office? I am worried
that we have this many communications people on staff. It is clear that there
are many needs for changes to be made within the Nigerian government. It seems
that some of these communications positions should be eliminated and changed to
more productive positions to bring about the necessary changes. Not more staff
to protect the President.
