Nigeria's President to Nominate New Ministerial Team

(18 Mar 10 - RV) Nigeria's acting President Goodluck Jonathan will nominate a new ministerial team by early next week, and is likely to reappoint around half the cabinet he has just sacked. Jonathan assumed executive powers in early February to try to end government paralysis in the absence of President Umaru Yar'Adua, who had been receiving treatment for a heart condition.
