Mr. Adesanmi's essay is the most compelling argument for any Nigerian Government appointee I have seen in a long time. His persuasion power is clearly evident and Lamido Sanusi should be lucky to have anyone characterize him and his appointment the way Mr. Adesanmi has done. The futility of this defense, in my opinion is that it nearly obviates the need for a genuine examination of Mr. Sanusi's qualification or even more, the availablity or otherwise of more qualified persons.
