Professor Sheikh Ahmed Abdullah (born 15 March 1948) was appointed Nigerian Minister of Agriculture on 6 April 2010, when Acting President Goodluck Jonathan announced his new cabinet.[1]
Abdullah was born on 15 March 1948 at Bida in Niger State. He earned a B.Sc in Business Administration from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria in 1974, and an MBA from Syracuse University in the USA in 1977.[2]
Abdullah spent most of his working career at ABU in the human resources and management development area, and in 1990 was awarded a PhD by the university. He was Director General at the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON) in Badagry from 2003 to 2008, an institution that trains students in public administration.[2] In August 2008 he was appointed to the Abuja City University Steering Committee.[3] He was appointed chairperson of the African Management Development Institutes' Network.[4]
As Minister of Agriculture, Abdullah faces huge challenges in a sector that employs 70% of Nigerians. Despite massive injections of subsidies, productivity remains low, with many concerns about the effectiveness of existing programs.[5]
