The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Media and Publicity to the Presidency, Shehu Garba has hinted that President Muhammadu Buhari might slash the number of ministries in the country from 49 to 19.

According to Daily Trust, the reduction of federal ministries was part of the recommendation of the Alhaji Ahmed Joda transition committee.

Shehu stated that the President believes the reduction would save cost of governance and ensure proper coordination of duties and better service delivery.

He however assured that there would be no job losses in the process of pruning the ministries, departments and parastatals, explaining that the process would be a very “painstaking thing” that would be done very carefully.

Better so far it doesn't give room to job loss.

Nice plot, so only the 19 Northern states can produce 19-Ministers

Damn! That's why I will continue to say WAILERS are the useless and frustrated fellows have ever come across You sound dumb dude, use your brain not anus Mtcheeww.

This is a sham of a news, Nigeria have about 30 ministries and 42 Ministers as at May 29, 2015. Some ministries have more than one minister to meet up the constitutitonal requirement. Lemme break it down....

36 Ministers.... Representing each of the 36 states
6 Ministers... Representing each of the 6 Geographical zones

Total: 42.... This has been the norm since 1999.

Buhari can decide to operate just one ministry BUT he must appoint at least 36 Ministers if to disregard the '6' from the zones.

Solid _Shit! I also wonder what the political prostitute above me is trying to prove with the meaningless jargon he typed above me!

Why then do we call it "change" if Buhari ain't given the freedom to do things differently. Now that's change

Foolishness and dumbness is your portion in life! For 3 months now, Buhari has not appointed any kind ministers and the country is not dead! There's nothing you and your fellow wailing wailers can or will ever do or be able to do about it! If he implements this point policy of reducing the number of ministers and invests the money into something better, there's still nothing you, your fellow biafraudians, losers and losing wailing wailers will ever do about it!
