The long-held notion in Nigeria that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is under an obligation to appoint at least thirty-seven (37) Ministers into his cabinet is not correct after all – at least by a holistic appreciation of the spirit and letters of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/06/01/why-it-is-incorrect-to-say-president-must-appoint-37-ministers/ 14 Likes 3 Shares |

No need to scream and shout ftc! Nah!! Back to the issue, Nigeria belongs to us all and not a few. So in the spirit of fairness, the Federal Character was established to drive home the concept of equity. Take for instance if an opposition state goes without a Federal minister, what will become of the jobless youths who would not be employed by the Governor? So I strongly believe that each state should produce a Federal Minister as it has a long way/role in grass root development. 5 Likes |

Brb. Make I plug ma phone. Ehen! In as far as I agree with Mr. Keyamo's view on d number of ministers, having ministers with the axe hanging over them won't be good for the polity. Why won't a minister loot funds when he knows for sure he won't last 4 years? And it will disrupt policies and leave d naton in a lurch. Best thing is d merging of ministries and appointing a junior and senior minister in each. With this, there'll be more efficiency and a cut in cost of governance 2 Likes 1 Share |

Very apt interpretation of a commonly misconceived section of the constitution . Simply put , the president has the liberty to appoint as many members as he wishes into his cabinet but he doesn't have the liberty of choosing all of them from one state/area/geopolitical zone. Having said that , let me state categorically that I don't wish to be in President Buhari ' s shoes right now. The man is definitely stuck between appeasing all the numerous interest groups that worked for the success of the party and keeping the cost of governance as low as possible . 4 Likes |

For 16 years the PDP used ministerial appointments to reward members of their party that had committed substantial resources to the party, and as a consolation prize for their corrupt governors that could not get their people's mandate for the Senate, so it's no wonder this wasteful tradition was perpetuated by the looters that are now ducking and hiding from innocent Nigerians they are owing payments. The more ministries for them, the merrier. The practice should be discontinued and ministries should justify the need for their existence if we are serious about cutting the cost of governance. 15 Likes |

Oga festus,u ended up complicating the whole matter...dat PMB must at least appoint One minister from each state before 2019....(license to fire ministers at will) Should I say the 1999 constitution (as amended) is flawed or the whole concept of Nigeria as a country is flawed... because d idea of dis 37 ministers it's just to fulfill that federal character nonsense abi just to make every state happy... As for me, the Nigerian constituton only mentions the Attorney General of the federation / minister of Justice and also the Minister of FCT- another thing I don't understand...Y not a Mayor(dat wud be voted for).. |

My own advice is that half of the ministers should be minister of state thereby we can have two ministers managing a ministry reducing costs, instead of 37 ministries we can have 19 ministries with the minister of state deputising the substantive minister in order to fulfil the constitution requirements, while an amendment should be proposed for that section of the constitution. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Those sections of the constitution need to be amended. Let the 36 States be featured in all the appointments by the president, not just ministers. If a State for instance, produces the Inspector General of police, it should not be expecting a ministerial slot too. Likewise other head of parastatals: NNPC, Customs, Immigration, Service Chiefs, FRSC, NPA, NEMA, etc. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

This constitution na heavy gobe, it appears simple when you read it but the shiit is fvcking confusing. Mehn! we can't afford the luxury of 37 ministeries, when we know some of these ministeries are redundant. Well, I pray PMB makes the right decision, one that will go down well with the majority of Nigerians. The 8th Assembly should know they have lots of amendments to make, so I don't expect them to come and sit their lazy a.s.s.e.s on those chairs without doing their job, wish their size could be reduced sef.

It is the learned writer that is narrowing the application of the law. 37 ministers is envisaged so as to give every state a seat at FEC. However, they can be placed on the same salary with a University HOD.They can have 2 Departmental vehilcles, one P.A.and civil servants as SAs. consultants could be hired based on budgetary projects. This way the office of a minister could just cost less than 500,000 per month. 7 Likes |

This man is complicating the whole thing with his nonsense interpretation. Has he ever heard of "Federal Character"? How can you appoint Ministers at different times from different states when the constitution was VERY clear? The purpose of that provision is to give every state equal representation in the Executive Council since the President and his Vice have the whole federation as their constituency. Now I see why EFCC is yet to make any prominent conviction. #Charge and Bail SAN 8 Likes 2 Shares |
