This article is in response to a topic created on Saturday, June 27, 2015 titled What Is The Need Of Minister When We Have Permanent Secretaries. The purpose of the thread was to justify the delay of ministerial appointment by the government of President Muhammadu Buhari

On the said Thread many respondents were of the opinion that there is no need for ministers when we have career permanent secretaries manning various ministries. But is this really so?
Let us critically look into the subject.

1. Job Role
The Permanent secretary in a ministry is the Chief Executive of that ministry. He's the Accounting Officer and most senior civil servant within the ministry. He does not formulate strategic policies of the government but he only execute operational plans of the government in power.
The Minister on the other hand is a non career civil servant that is employed by the government in power to formulate strategic policies for a specified sector. In addition to this, he supervises ALL the non-Ministerial Departments that falls within the sector.

2. Scope
The scope of the permanent secretary in a ministry is only restricted within his ministry.
The Minister on the other hand is not only confined to the supervision of his "ministry", he also supervises Department and Agencies that comes with his office as minister on behalf of the President. For instance, the Minister of Transport supervises both the Ministry of Transport, NIMASSA, Nigeria Railway Corporation(NRC), Nigeria Ports Authority, Nigeria Shippers Council, Maritime Academy of Nigeria etc. The DGs or CEOs of the non-Ministerial Parastatals formulates and implements operational policies (as approved by the various boards) which must be in line with that of the Minister's strategic policy of the government. The perm-sec has no such power.

3. Representation:
Constitutionally, each state must have a minister who is nominated and appointed by the President subject to the approval of the Senate. Each minister sits on the Federal Executive Council and they represent their respective states in the Council. The President and the Vice represent the entire federation.
The Perm-sec on the other hand do not have such constitutional defined representation.

4. Is The "Minister" Ceremonial?
Absolutely not! The minister is a politician that understands and believes in the overall goal of the President. He is hired by the President to formulate policies (subject to approval of the president and Federal Executive Council), and then he ensures that these policies and programs of the FG/President are implemented by his Permanent Secretary, DGs and MDs of Agencies under his supervision. He also ensures that policies and programs that are executed by these MDAs under his supervision are in tandem. For instance, the Petroleum Minister is to ensure that the contracts approved by the Ministerial Tender board (Headed by the Perm-sec) are in tandem with the government laid down rules. He must counter sign it to show government's approval. Also, the Petroleum Minister by law is to ensure that policies of the Executive Management of NNPC are to be in line with wish of the government in power. In addition to this, he receives petitions against any Executive staff and Board Chairman/Members of non-ministerial agency within his supervision on behalf of the President. He also advises the President on the best way to address such petition.

Can The Permanent Secretary Function As Minister?
Absolutely Negative! The Permanent Secretary within a ministry cannot supervise the CEO/DG that is under the ministry's supervision. He has no business with policy formulation on behalf of the government. He's not aligned to any political party and he's not hired by the President but by the Civil service. The President can fire any erring minister over non performance or based on any slightest issue or non issue, but he can't fire the perm-sec over "poor performance". The worst he can do is to redeploy the perm-sec in line with the civil service rules. The Perm-sec can only leave the civil service on voluntary/mandatory retirement, death or based on any offence that stipulate the wield stick as punishment.

Nigeria Situation Without Ministers
The situation that we are in under Buhari means that there is nobody to formulate policies for and on behalf of the FG in line with the "Change" of the Buhari's administration. It also means that nobody to supervise ministries, agencies and departments which give room for theft and mismanagement of public funds by civil servants. It means that the public won't be able to experience any policy change anytime soon. It means that the President will dish out "orders" as the spirit directs without analysing core factors. It also means that permanent secretaries and DG/CEOs of Agencies will act in accordance with existing rule aka Auto-Pilot.

Finally, Nigeria is not the first and only country to practice political cabinet Minister in addition to perm-secs of ministries. The Nigeria equivalent of career civil servants perm-sec in the UK is Permanent Under Secretary(PUS), Italy call theirs Secretary-General, Canada (Deputy Minister), Australia (Secretary), USA (Deputy Secretary) etc. All these countries still have cabinet ministers that are incharge with policies and supervision.

I hope we all understand that there is NO WAY President Buhari can effectively bring change without ministers.


God Bless Us All

Hey Barca! your head dey dia..

Ori e wa nibe..

You forgot:

Making several attempts to travel abroad and getting denied many times or getting deported after spending huge sum of money on failed trip

major466:
On the contrary, am enjoying the show. Why should I be pained when APC members are fighting themselves in the mud

Me too!

I just love this rofo-rofo fights of APC

We've never been this entertained in 16 years of PDP

Right now, I'm sure saraki camp is digging deep for dirts on Tinubu and I'm sure if they will find one or several: In Chicago, Boston, Osun, Lagos....Kikikikikikiki

We are watching as the drama enfolds..

shoki..

Eshinwaju:
Jagaban of borgu......cross him at ur peril..... ......saraki is so toasted.........

Guy, I'm not biased, neither a fan of Saraki or Tinubu

But, is your Jagaban really snow-white clean and spotless, no blemish at all?

I'm just curious , no offense

Sweetlemon:
TANoids how market?








Mess with the Jagaban of Africa at your own peril

Is Saraki a 'Tanoid'?

is he not an APC-oid?

So, whose market is spoilt??

hear yourself!

nmanma1:
and shara reporters are d most clueless organisation for propaganda since 1990's.

The most biased
The most unprofessional
The biggest a-s-s kissers and lickers of Tinubu
The most bigoted
The most controversial

It is only to sing the praise of APC, Tinubu and destroy anyone perceived as enemies of these two

No wonder decent and unbiased people dont care for them

Personally, I hate them

Coming from a 100 year old boy, huh?

You try wella..

Yinmu

opiloper:
ApC please stop complaining get to work!

For where?

That's how APC will spend the next four years..

Blaming their failures of PDP

Agendaless hypocrites..

Santimonious and holier-than-you and hypocritical APC

barely 30 days in office and they already created more mess than 16 years of PDP

As if they are any better..

Gosh!

15 hours in my area

But we both know it is not Buhari's achievement but GEJ

It means nothing actually happened to power sector but APC used PHCN to sabotage and blackmail GEJ

Now that dem Baba is in power, voila! light is constant

So APC and dem baba will take the glory!

I dont see how Buhari could have magically made darkness disappear in 4 weeks when he has not even woken up from kunu-induced slumber..

APC cannot claim to be the hero of Nigeria's stable electricity

The kudos must go to GEJ

The only guilt of GEJ is not welding his cane hard on those APC used to destroy his administration

Quote me and eat shit..

cornoil:
Where is that scoundrel called Johnnyessence, the Aregberacal Apologetic that opened the thread that he has paid. The stupid guy with fish brain, that lacks common sense with reality.

Don't embarrass fish brain by comparing it to this dumbshit!

He has cotton wool where there should be brains..

Useless Aregbeoid!

Next time, state of Osun should shine its eyes

Governance is not only about Aregbe Fufu, Semo or Rice or 5-story high talking drum

They add no value to your lives forever , una hear?

And next time someone owes you a month salary, throw stones at him during his re-election campaign

Dont dance like 'eleya' and follow-follow and brain-dead broom wavers

Stop disgracing the Yoruba nation..

Awon alatenuje, ti-fun loran..

Chai..

Sex painment

and vexment

From Tinubu

And his media goon!

lolaxavier:
Obviously the spill over effects from the inadequacies of GEJ's administration. Well, nothing to worry about, baba will tackle everything...tanoids you see ur life?

Yeah sure!

'Baba' will do it with his magic wand

Afterall he is a 'superhero' and 'messiah' here to rescue us!

Seriously, this is the President Buhari's way of alienating himself from his Daura cows

Instead of repairing the roads leading to his village thuss becoming closer to his constituency and improving the infrastructure in Katsina, he prefers a Helipad

Honestly, it is dumb, but his Daura goats will not know since they dont know their a-s-s from their nose..

Babaonechance!

one month?

When one President Buhari never wake up from slumber since 1984..

And travelling to everywhere including Western Germany to visit 'President Michelle'

WEll done jare, somebody..

aderonila18:
Do you expect the government to repair all the roads in Lagos at the same time Why are you people so unreasonable

Nope..

But no single road in shomolu or Bariga is earmarked for rehabilitation

And cut down on the insults.. I expressed my view, I didnt commit a major crime..

No single road in Shomolu and Bariga

Meanwhile, the APC droids in both LGs should start using their scatttered brooms to sweep:

Igi Olugbin Road (half done and abandoned)
Awofodu Street
Alade Market Road
Anifowoshe Street
Fagbeyiro Lane,
Odunsi Street
Ladi Lak Area
Onajinmi street
Johnson Street
Omo Alade Alafia street
Popoola Street
Akilo Street
bariga Road
Abule Okuta Road
Ilaje Road
Solanke Street
Olanrewaju Street
Onabola Street
Osipitan Street
Oyeyemi/ Ikenne Street
Apata / Lisabi Street


How many I wan count for these two LGs?

APC: Shame! oh, sorry, 'change'

ApcSucks:
Ok apapa greed lock needs urgent attention


Buhari is a dulllardinho

Brukutu sipping president

The oluwole general

This one chance we will endure b4 uu knw it 4years is gone

And the Brukutu sipping man will be driven away with his presidential cows

See vexmentation!

Guy you no wan gree oh!

shit like this happens when porn movies cost N150

It's sad our kids are at the receiving end even right at home

God dey..

barcanista:
Watching the APC caucus of distinguished Senators and Honorable Members of House of Representatives was a shame to behold on Thursday June 26, 2015. It was a shame that the ruling party couldn't put their act in order. More painful is that the incompetence of the ruling party is having effect on the Nigeria State. Here are some observations...

1. SP Saraki and Speaker Dogara Are Naïve, Arrogantly and Ignorant
The positions of Senate and House Leaders and their deputies, and the Chief Whips and their deputies are not appointive offices. It has never been heard in any parliament that the presiding officer determines who occupies these principal offices. For the record, the Majority leader is supposed to be a core party loyalist. He is the primary link between his party and members of the party in the parliament, the majority leader schedules business on the floor by calling bills from the calendar and keeps members of his party advised about the daily legislative program. The Chief Whip is also supposed to be a core party man that enforced discipline on erring party members that conducts themselves against the interests of the party in the parliament. By tradition, the majority party chooses the Majority leader, Chief Whip, Deputy Leader and Deputy whip, while members of the party in the parliament ratify. If the APC says they want Lawan as Senate Leader and Gbajabiamila as House Leader, all that has to be done is for the APC members of the Senate and the House respectively to either ratify the names sent to them by the party leadership or they (members) elect who they want. For SP Saraki and Speaker Dogora to insist on a particular pattern that is not acceptable to majority of their party parliamentarians shows that both men are arrogantly naive. This can't be accepted in any democracy, and accepting it will set a bad precedent for this country.

2. Saraki And APC Have Done Nigeria A Great Disservice
Senator Ali Ndume was indicted in November 2011 to have link with BH. The arrested BH Spokesman Ali Konduga had maintained that Sen Ndume had paid him to send threatening text messages http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-15829203. There are call evidence of Ali Ndume's phone exchange with Boko Haram which the undistinguished Senator admitted after it was extracted by an agent from the Israeli based Digital Forensic http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/12/court-admits-fresh-evidence-linking-ndume-to-boko-haram/. As at the time of the election, Senator Ndume was facing Terrorism trial. Instead of APC to give their ticket to competent hand they gave it to the same Ali Ndume. He was elected thanks to the change propaganda and became a Senator once again rather than clearing his name. Senator Saraki out of selfish interest compounded the woes of Nigerians by imposing an alleged Boko Haram Sponsor as Nigeria's Senate Leader. What a disservice by APC and Bukola Saraki. A shame to Nigeria that the Leader of the Upper House is facing terrorist charges.

3.APC Deserve No Sympathy
APC rode on propaganda and blackmail. It is a gathering of people of different ideologies, different worlds and men of questionable integrity. It isn't filled with men with common goals like what a political party should be. It is filled with men whose sole ambition was to form a consortium to send Jonathan back to Otuoke and GRAB power. APC as a party also encouraged rascality and impunity in the last National Assembly. APC commended and encouraged Tambawal and the 7 rascals PDP Governors for their anti-party activities. It is a shame but the APC encouraged impunity and even rewarded it by giving them political fortune. Now that APC is at the receiving end of the whole thing, and even receiving worse, I don't think it deserve any symparthy. It is a shame that the presiding officers of both Chambers are hell-bent on by-passing common sense just to subvert the interest of majority of the party. At least in 2011 the PDP had their way in choosing the four principal offices when they lost the two presiding offices due to APC instigated rebellion in the House. I understand the plight for the APC but I have no sympathy for the party. I hope they put their act in order.

4. SP Saraki and Speaker Dogara Deserve To Be Served
In the last dispensation, Senator Saraki and Honorable Dogara were part of the new PDP that fought alongside the opposition to cause a wreck to the Jonathan's re-election ambition and the PDP structure. Now they are back to do to their former comrades-at-arm what they did to their former party. If Saraki and Dogara think they will enjoy the support and privileges from the PDP on the long run, they should have their heads examined. The PDP will make a grave mistake by rewarding Saraki and Hon Dogara on the long run. Already PDP has got the Deputy Senate Presidency, the party should understand that Saraki and Dogara need them more that they need those men. In the event that APC wield their big stick on them, the PDP should have in mind the treachery of both men and serve them at latter date. Yes I supported Saraki and Dogara for Senate President and Speaker respectively so as to nullify the APC's arrangement because Nigeria cannot be run like a one-man's business, it is not because they were worth it. That is in the past now. Saraki and Dogara betrayed PDP to benefit from APC, now they turned around to betray APC but must not benefit from PDP

5. APC Should Not Hold Nigeria To Ransom
Nigerians are tired with one day one trouble for APC and their chieftains. The business of Governance is already suffering all because nothing has started. The auto-piloting system that Buhari is running isn't helping matters. Nigerians are tired of hearing APC Governors and other elected officers talking about partisan politics rather than performing the role they were elected to. Enough is enough. APC has already wasted one month of our National life, we can't afford the luxury of wasting important time on the troubles of the ruling party

Nice one, Barca!

Thumb up!
