Looks like I have become a
great Seer! I dreamt that the unshakable Petroleum Minister, Allison Madueke
resigned. Now the news filtering in suggests that this PortHarcourt born Oil
and Gass guru has finally thrown in the towel. She resigned after the President
advised her to humbly do so after serving Nigeria for 4 controversial years!
Diezani K. Alison-Madueke
(born 6 December 1960) became Nigeria’s minister of transportation on 26 July
2007. She was moved to Mines and Steel Development in 2008, and in April 2010
was appointed Minister of Petroleum Resources.
Diezani K. Agama was born on
in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Her father was Chief Frederick Abiye
Agama. She studied architecture in England and then at Howard University in the
United States.[1] She graduated from Howard with a Bachelor’s degree on 8 December
1992.[2] She returned to Nigeria and joined Shell Petroleum Development
Corporation that year. In 2002, she attended Cambridge University for her
MBA.[1] In April 2006, Shell appointed her its first female Executive Director
in Nigeria.[3]
Since 1999 she has been
married to Admiral Allison Madueke (retired), one-time Chief of Naval Staff who
was at various times governor of Imo and Anambra State.
In September 2011
Alison-Madueke was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Management Sciences by the
Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna.
