Nigeria - 9 top ministers sacked

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan sacked nine ministers in his first major Cabinet reshuffle since winning an election more than two years ago, a presidency spokesman said on Wednesday.

The ministers of foreign affairs, education, science and technology, housing and urban development, national planning, and environment have been removed.

The ministers of state — the junior minister for each office — for power, agriculture and defense have also been sacked.

“They will be replaced but not immediately,” a spokesman told reporters, without giving further details.
