Minister and Minister of State are simply ranks within a ministry. Both occupants are ministers but with different responsibilities and hierarchy within the ministry. It still doesn't negate the fact that both are ministers with equal privileges at the Federal Executive Council.

It's like in the Senate, all 109 Senators are equal Senators but the Senate President is of higher rank than Others in the Chamber - likewise a Senate Committee Chairman is of higher rank than other members of the Committee - yet, they all have the same right and privileges as Senators

They are not Ministers with equal privileges. That is why the Minister of State is referred to as a "Junior Minister". As Keyamo stated, he has to seek the approval of the main Minister before any ideas he has can be implemented but same does not apply for the main Minister.

Eh see this ole omoale so because tinubu have promised u another portfolio,u now want him to scrap what u have been benefiting from

First table manner I learnt, if you know, u know

Crazy man

What then was the responsibilities of the minister of transportation? Who was head of the ministry between the minister and minister of state?

In the ministry of transportation (2015-19), Amaechi was the minister of transportation, Hadi Sirika was the minister of state (Aviation). Sirika was responsible for Aviation sector within the ministry, while Amaechi was responsible for land and sea sectors. Amaechi was the senior in rank but he had no jurisdiction over Aviation matters within the ministry.

In Education ministry, the minister of education is responsible for Tertiary Education while the Minister of state for education is responsible for primary and secondary education

The term 'senior' and 'junior' refers to rank within the ministry informally, it has nothing to do with their rights and privileges. The President, who is the appointer, delegate responsibilities. Irrespective, everyone has the same right and privileges as members of the FEC

This guy is just not it at all

Nigeria does not need Ministers. Ministers belong to Religion.

Who ever created Religions also created Politics and I do not think both institutions were designed to work for the masses.

That is why I am a Moorish Sovereign Citizen resident by the Atlantic Ocean, south of Nigga Area.

I do not obey laws of any country, but that of Nature.

Boyooosa:
Well, he made a valid point and I think he had his shot when he unveiled the fact that ministers of state's office are undermined since they are dwarfed by the ministers' office, majorly during assessment.

Coincidentally, he washed off all his points when he was struggling to explain the constitutional reference that nullifies the existence of the office of the minister of state.

He eventually fell off his feet when he tried to compare it with the office of the Vice President, plying through the senate affirmation and deputy resident path; Mr Keyamo, SAN, VP came into the government through election after presidential candidat's nomination and not through appoint by president after election as in the case of a minister.

Mw, senate don't affirm vp's appointment unlike what is obtainable in ministers' case

You are one of the few people with brains here. I couldn't have said it better. Many just abuse the messenger without really getting the message.

Keyamo simply observed table manners, when you're eating, don't talk.

this man really has no shame.. After collecting all the benefits in monetary terms and privileges, it is now you want to identify that it was unconstitutional.. If you are really a just man, you would reject it given reason that it was unconstitutional. But after eating all the salaries, allowances, budget padding, blue diplomatic passport etc, now u want to say it is unconstitutional.. No honor among thieves really..

Buhari wey no dey obey constitutioin before. He is known for that.

He's talking about constitution, Accepting offer doesn't stop you from saying the truth and it's never too late to make amends.
How do you expect a better Nigeria with your write-up.
You don't have to disagree with a person at all time.
Constructive criticism is what we need to grow as a country.

hERHAPS he is right, but he is a big CLOWN.

inforesource:
This keyamo na clown. Why is most Nigerians like this? How can you benefit from something and at the end turn out to criticize it? If you knew it was unconstitutional, why were you acting on it? What kind of citizens are we raising?

Who gave him that SAN-D sef?

Keyamo sentiment is such that, he is probably not satisfied serving as a minister who is being deputed instead of enjoying thesame rank as those scrutinised by the senate to enjoy full ministerial access. Afterall, He is probably bitter thereby residing to being a radical fool after the goodies he has enjoyed sitting only in that position doing nothing.
No wonder he has all the time to spew trash always.

4days left, he can now point out the abberation he has been an accessory to, in regards to the constitution.

Well, I may be wrong but I think our presidents came up with this idea of appointing Minister of State so that every state of the federation may produce a minister as constitution requires. You know it may be difficult to create 36 different ministries to cover 36 states of the federation so they had to come up with the idea of minister of state to settle the matter.

I agree with Keyemo that ministers do overshadow ministers of state and some of them even frustrate ministers of state. But his other points sounds silly and hypocritical to me.

How? He was appointed minister of state 21 August 2019 and then appointed as Minister of
Labour and Employment 24 September 2019. So why the noise?

He knew the consequences, so hes simply laying it down for the next government.

Why we dey always run judge mata?

carreport:
Ungrateful cow,
Why didn't u reject the appointment..

I'm sure this message is for Tinubu not to appoint u Minister of State again...

Which he did. He was appointed minister of state 21 August 2019 and then appointed as Minister of Labour and Employment 24 September 2019. Its for public record, so it wont repeat it self again. Make una dey do small digging abeg.

YOU SHOULD HAVE POINT THIS OUT LONG IF YOU WERE A SERIOUS CITIZEN

So there is no need for deputy governor or VP, very foolish talk. Na because you get appointed you get mouth to talk rubbish.

He was appointed minister of state 21 August 2019 and then appointed as Minister of
Labour and Employment 24 September 2019. If u know em paycheck, u fit epp am calculate money wey em go return.

When dem tell u for school make u study comprehension, una no gree.

Thief!

It just occurred to you after you have enjoyed the benefits of the office for years.

If that's the case, return all your salaries and allowances to the country.

Truth is one!

When dem tell una to study comprehension for school, una no go gree. Now most people wey dey comment here no even get the message.

He was appointed minister of state 21 August 2019 and then appointed as Minister of

His message is not for Buhari regime, na for the incoming Government.

When I ask my three year old daughter to lead in prayer before we eat, she always ends the prayer with "Do not talk while eating. It is a baaad habit"

Festus Keyamo probably had the same Nursery teachers who taught him not to talk while eating. He has finished eating all the salaries, allowances, trappings of office, travel estacodes, privileges of power etc . He has finished eating at least for now and has decided to talk.

Most Delta people I know are very principled and not hypocritical. This Festus guy ehnnn...

Dude is a despicable chameleon whose belly is his god.

And he knew all along!

For me Keyamo knows that in politics, he is a snail pretending to be a two horned animal; he is a butterfly pretending to be a fly.

When Dino Melaye made a joke of his portfolio as a minister of state, many did not understand it. Now with his own mouth, he has proven Dino Melaye right.

The truth remains that the cost of governance is an issue in this country. We have too many ministers, Junior ministers, SAs, SSAs etc, across all lines. Nigerians have been taken too deep into poverty, misery, hardship and there is no light at the end of the tunnel for them.

In all Keyamo should bow his face in shame. If he is a defender of constitutional democracy, according to him, why then did he not only participate in that illegality, but also ensured that he remained in it till the end?

Daft people like you are the biggest problems of this country. A sincere man would turn down his appointment as a minister of state at once, pointing out this same reason he just gave.

That's why the west works whereas Africa remains a shithole. Thanks to a bunch of insincere looters and their asslickers.
