Nasir El-Rufai, a former governor of Kaduna State, has decided against accepting a position in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet.
El-Rufai had previously indicated his openness to working with Mr. Tinubu on power matters during his confirmation hearing.
TNT reports that in a recent meeting with President Tinubu, El-Rufai announced his resignation from the position of minister.
He reportedly reaffirmed his intention to make a positive private citizen contribution to Nigeria’s progress.
El-Rufai mentioned that he is currently enrolled in a doctoral programme in the Netherlands as part of his justification.
As a result, he proposed Jafaru Ibrahim Sani of Kaduna State as a replacement ministerial candidate. El-Rufai reassured the President that Sani’s knowledge and ingenuity could prove invaluable.
During El-Rufai’s time as governor, he appointed Jafaru Ibrahim Sani to serve as a commissioner in three important ministries: local government, education, and the environment. El-Rufai now proposes Sani as his nominee for the position.
