You know, that's a question I've been thinking about too! President Tinubu's choice of hadiza bala usman for Secretary to the Government of the Federation is actually kinda bold, especially since she's now the first woman ever in that role. From what I've seen, she's already pretty famous in Nigeria, especially after running the Nigerian Ports Authority, which was a tough gig and got her a lot of good and bad press. I think Tinubu wanted someone who could handle drama, not be scared of controversy, and push things forward no matter what people say.
To be honest, I've watched a lot of debates and some people thought she was too controversial, especially with those legal problems with big companies during her NPA days. But maybe that's what Tinubu actually wanted—a tough person who won't be pushed around by regular government stuff or big businessmen trying to get their way. I've learned that, in politics, leaders sometimes pick people who aren't scared to fight or stand up for decisions, even if a lot of people complain. And this definitely made everyone pay attention to the government for once. She could change how things are run, or it could get messy. Either way, it makes things interesting!
