Owing to an alleged lack of adequate planning, the recent merger of Federal Government ministries, departments and agencies is now facing some challenges.

An investigation by The Guardian shows that overstaffing, lack of clear-cut policy direction, accommodation issues and duplication of functions are among the challenges facing the merger. Many of the directors and other senior staff of the ministries lack office accommodation and schedule of work.

But the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) does not share this position, insisting, according to its head, Dr. Joe Abah, that the mergers will at the end of the day lead to more functional agencies that will be able to deliver on the current administration’s promise to Nigerians.

The merged ministries include those of Power, Works and Housing, Information and Culture, National Planning and Budget, Interior, as well as Youths and Sports. The main purpose of the merger was to cut waste and increase efficiency in governance for better service delivery, but all that is being hampered by the confusion in the system.

The Guardian learnt that while some ministries are overstaffed, others are under-staffed, just as some civil servants have no portfolio. Due to some of these reasons, including a lack of office space, overlapping functions and a lack of adequate supervision, many staff now resume late to work, if they come at all on some days. More worrisome is the fact that there is a brazen lack of clear-cut direction on the part of the various leaderships of the merged ministries.

An insider told The Guardian: “To me, the committee that recommended the merger of these ministries misled our President Muhammadu Buhari. How can anyone or group of persons advise the President to merge the Ministry of Power with those of Works and Housing? This is practically wrong because these are critical ministries that have a direct bearing on our people, more so, they ought to be manned by professionals and technocrats in relation to their schedules.’’ ...

Even if 2019 is now, is there any way PDP can win? Not when the likes of Smart Adeyemi, Emeka Wogu, Isa Yuguda et al have dumped the sinking ship. Maybe you think any right-thinking Nigeria would prefer a Sheriff/Ekweremadu (or Fayose) [PDP] ticket to a Buhari/Osinbajo (APC) ticket. Lemme remind you if you've forgotten that APGA is now a more formidable opposition than PDP. PDP might go into oblivion before 2019 if care is not taken.

You guys virtually blame Buhari for everything. Even if you're unable to cum during intercourse, you would still blame Buhari for your inability. You should be blaming people like your boss (Sam Anyawu) for inflicting pains on Nigeria through their inhuman decision on the floor of the Senate.
