THIS MESSAGE IS SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED.  NOT FOR INTERNET 
DISTRIBUTION. 
 
1. (SBU) President Umaru Musa Yar'adua administered the oath of 
office to his 39-member cabinet on July 26 at the presidential villa 
in Abuja.  The President gave a stern warning that the 
Administration will not tolerate corruption and indiscipline in the 
public service.  The ministers were officially assigned their 
portfolios after a 3-week nationally televised screening by the 
Nigerian senate. 
 
2. (SBU) As expected, the appointments represent a balance of the 
complex interests of several constituencies: geographical zones, 
gender, religion, ethnicity and party affiliations.  The newly 
appointed Ministers of Finance, Labor, Health, Justice, Commerce and 
Information are generally considered well-qualified and a good fit 
for their new portfolios.  On the other hand, the press has 
criticized the appointment of Ministers of Education, Defense, 
Transport, Foreign Affairs, Tourism, and the Federal Capital 
Territory, claiming the professional backgrounds of the new 
ministers are not appropriate to the portfolios.  Like President 
Obasanjo before him, Yar'adua will retain the Minister of Energy 
portfolio; Ministers of State for Energy have been appointed to 
cover petroleum, gas and power. 
 
3. (SBU) Bode Augusto, a nominee from Lagos State and former Special 
Adviser to President Obasanjo was rejected by the senators for his 
"contempt and arrogance."  Reports indicate he told Senators during 
his screening that "his eight year-old daughter could answer the 
questions" he was being asked.  The position of Minister of Works 
remains unfilled and it is believed this position will be held for 
Augusto's replacement, who will also come from Lagos State.
