@OP The Governor is Chief Executive of a State. He has the mandate of his people and is ONLY answerable to them. He manages their budget and resources. He appoints other officers like Commissioners, DG of Parastatals, SAs, SSAs etc and can fire them at any given time. The Minister is an officer of the President. He isn't a Chief Executive, he does according to the lead of the President. He does not have the power to arbitrarily hire and fire civil servants working in his Ministry except with approval of the President. He reports to the President and can be fired at any time by the President. He assist the President in the task before him(President) and not on his(Minister) own. By Law, they are distinct but if you look at their powers, the Governor is more influential and powerful than the Minister. However Minister get level even among themselves. Defence Minister is more powerful than that of Land and Urban Development. 3 Likes |

A governor position is an elective position while the office of the minister is only by appointment, in fact, many atimes the state governor nominates whom to appoint for this position, that's is it. A governor can declare a public holiday or curfew in his/her state but minister does not have such powers. etc |

any state Governor in nigeria today (be it kogi or benue) is better off monetary wise than a Minister. the only exception is the minister of oil and finarce minister, who by virtue of there office are super RICH. that is why you see many Ministers quiting to contest for Governor race. |

The Federal minister is superior. He earns more than the Governor in terms of their salary. But the Governor is only all powerful in his own state. He has little control over the CP of police and has almighty power,on all the happenings in his state,not at federal level. So,to cut it short,a federal minister has power at the federal level and the Governor has power in his own state. The federal minister superior constitutional,because he earns more basic salary and allowance than the Governor. |

The minister is the face of the president in each ministry...... Whatever a minister does, it is assumed it is the president acting, since d president cannot do everything on his own, therefore he is in need helpers. Just like comparing a commissioner to a LG chairman. |
