Buhari must cut down the cost of governance is too much, let him reduce the number of ministers some of them are just there for nothing.

He is a lawyer and his plain language interpretation is on point. It differs from the legislative intent therefore the NA should make amends. I prefer his interpretation though. It's more favorable to our economic position.

I wanted to say this too. But which sector should be deprived a minister? unless there are ghost ministers the point doesn't add up.

Nah!!

Back to the issue, Nigeria belongs to us all and not a few. So in the spirit of fairness, the Federal Character was established to drive home the concept of equity.

Take for instance if an opposition state goes without a Federal minister, what will become of the jobless youths who would not be employed by the Governor? So I strongly believe that each state should produce a Federal Minister as it has a long way/role in grass root development.
Read the post to the end. Away from that, the minister's job is not to create jobs for people of his/her state as you expected.

Mr. Keyamo's view on d number of ministers, having ministers with the axe hanging over them won't be good for the polity. Why won't a minister loot funds when he knows for sure he won't last 4 years? WHY SHOULD HE LOOT, WAS HE BORN TO STEAL? And it will disrupt policies and leave d nation in a lurch. Best thing is d merging of ministries and appointing a junior and senior minister in each[color=#990000][/color]. With this, there'll be more efficiency and a cut in cost of governance

good to know there is a way around this problem of 37 ministers thing.
Very interesting interpretation.
If Buhari is serious about cutting the cost of governance, this is the way to go.
Re: Why It Is Incorrect To Say President Must Appoint 37 Ministers - Festus Keyamo by danny301: 8:46pm On Jun 01, 2015
We cannot be slaves to our own constitution. The law is made for man and not man for the law.PMB should ask the national Assembly to amend that part of the constitution that stipulated that at least a minister should come from each state of federation.... For equity sake other appointments like sgf, chief of staff, special advicers etc should be given to states without ministerial positions.

I understand your point but for me the issue is not necessarily about the number of ministers to be appointed, it's actually about seeing what those ministers are doing to better the lives of ordinary citizens, which I believe has been lacking!
Re: Why It Is Incorrect To Say President Must Appoint 37 Ministers - Festus Keyamo by Nobody:
barcanista:
This man is complicating the whole thing with his nonsense interpretation. Has he ever heard of "Federal Character"? How can you appoint Ministers at different times from different states when the constitution was VERY clear? The purpose of that provision is to give every state equal representation in the Executive Council since the President and his Vice have the whole federation as their constituency. Now I see why EFCC is yet to make any prominent conviction.

#Charge and Bail SAN
The learned gentleman made a very wonderful submission. He gave the law an interpretation which can be sustained in any court of law. You have the absolute right to air your views just as he has done. But casting aspersions and mudslinging is way too 'childish'.
