Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan named career diplomat Olugbenga Ashiru as foreign minister and respected engineer Bart Nnaji as power minister among several Cabinet appointments late on Monday, according to Reuters. Ashiru has served as a diplomat for almost three decades and was recently Nigeria\'s high commissioner in South Africa. Nnaji was the head of a company that built a major power distribution plant in a country suffering from chronic electricity shortages. He has already reappointed 12 ministers from the outgoing government to their old jobs, including Oil Minister Deziani Alison-Madueke, a move his critics saw as an uninspiring start.
