For starters the President is the appointing authority of all executive powers in accordance with chapter 6CFRN 1999 (as amended).
S.147 (1) says there shall be offices of Ministers as MAY be established by the president.
(2) says any APPOINTMENT to the office of Minister needs senate confirmation.

the word "may" here simply means the president has discretion as to the specific ministerial office to create.

The president is not making any APPOINTMENT to the office of petroleum he is simply retaining the powers which he has constitutional discretion but no legal obligation to assign to a minister.


S. 148 Says the president may in his DISCRETION assign any business of govt to the VP or ministers.

for avoidance of doubt S.10 of the interpretation act says when a law imposes a duty on a person the law also vests the person with the power to carry out the duty.

Bottom line it will be a cold day in hell before you see a commander-in-chief go for Senate screening over discharge of powers and prerogatives already vested in him by the supreme law!
