Mohammed Bello, the Incompetent FCT ‘Minister of Darkness’ Returns in #BuhariCabinet

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday officially inaugurated 43 ministers into the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for his second term.

The new ministers were sworn in at the Council Chamber, State House, Abuja.

Mohammed Bello, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Buhari’s first term has retained his portfolio.

Recall that one of Bello’s first promises, upon assuming office in November 2015, was to secure the city and improve infrastructure in the entire FCT. However, road mishaps escalated and crime rates soared under his watch as a result of defective traffic and street lights that left the city in total darkness.

CCTVs that would have helped detect crime remained non-functional. Poor waste management and the rampant trend of open defecation gained the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) the title of “a stinking city”.

Two years into Mr Bello’s regime, in April 2017, hundreds of frustrated residents stormed the administrative headquarters of the FCT protesting against the minister’s incompetence.

Notoriously acclaimed as the ‘Minister of Darkness’, Buhari has rewarded Bello with a fresh appointment as Minister of the FCT.
