Whats the need of repeating what a child with high iq knows already. That the ministers from the 5%wailing biafran state will have no portfolio even my unborn child knows this

Yeah bro, one of such Biafra nominee is chibuike amaechi. He will just be answering minister of the federal republic and be attending federal executive council meetings.

deskossy:
Honestly this government is a joke!confused set of people

we warned Nigerians about expecting too much from 74 years old retired soldier cattle farmer if just 150cows. Buhari is too ok and not mentally alert to respond to the demands of that office he occupies in this modern times . But Nigerians no free. There is a limit to how you can push grandpas all about as they like taking all the time in the world doing little mundane things .we should even be thankful to god that buharo took 7months to select ministers I was envisaging 14months before he decides who he wants to work with

gurunlocker:
confused president, confused party and surrounded with confused people.


presidency said all minister will get portfolio, now bubu say no... abeg who they give those in presidency order initially? or is it just that bubu is a dictator?

They are confused in that presidency, from the duara dullard to the least of the APC official. yeye things.

Jokers!

What is the point of having a minister without a ministry aka portfolio.

Though the constitution did not mention 36 ministries, but it must have implied 36 ministries when it mandated that ministers must come from all states of the federation unless the short sighted madness to create more states did not envisage this gapping hole.

Maybe best to rotate the Ministers through each of the ministries or update the constitution to reflect the reality on ground.

So what will they be doing?

It's Not A Must You Respond To My Comments. Take Your Nonsense Elsewhere. Who Cares

Why is it so hard to get this into your thick skull. The constitution says there must be 36 ministers. Unfortunately we dont have the funds to run 36 minstries.

Is this so hard to understand PMB has to find a way of managing the economy while adhering to the constitution.

It was a political statement.

Ofcourse all minister would be posted to do somethings.

Joenyam:
So what will they be doing?

they maybe attached to each other. Maybe 3 ministers in a ministry

Hahahaha... A minister without a portfolio is a dead minister (inactive). What's he/she going to minister? How I wish they allow this man let's see the resultant of his forecast..

we will have ministers at large.

:Dwe will have ministers at large.

So what now, that means I'll have a portfolio without being a minister.. That's cool.. Anyhow, money rolls in.. That's the koko

Must there be 36 ministries before you can get 36 ministers?..how was it done during the time of OBJ, Yar'Adua and GEJ that it didn't generate all these unnecessary distractions and confusions..In a ministry,u have a substantive minister and a minister of state; meaning u don't need to have 36 ministries to fit in all of these ministers.

blackpanda:
Yes 36 ministers. Not 36 ministries!

I dont know why people are agitating for ministries as if they blind to the current economic situation. Use your brain pls!

The constitute did not mention 36 ministers either....

The constitution mentioned the establishment of the office of the Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and that each "Office of the Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria" shall be appointed from each state of the federation.

Therefore the President is bounded by the constitution to create 36 offices of Ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and those offices can be federal departments, ministries, etc.

Merely appointing 36 ministers does not create the offices of ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as mandated by the constitution.

why screening all of them in the first place? which kind of embarrassment is that? confusion @ it's peak

a president without a school cert = a president without common sense. the constitution is suspended forthwith...MILITARY SPOTTED.

You that is insulting people are the one that does not have the minimum requisite understanding of the constitution; for starters, the constitution did not '..says there must be 36 ministers' as erroneously been touted by you.

Secondly, the constitution states...

1. Section 147(1) Mandates the President to establish "office of the Minister" of the Government of the Federation....
2. Section 147(2) indicates that the Senate shall confirm any appointment to the "office of the Minister of the Government"
3. Section 147(3) states that any appointment under section 147(2) above must be done in such a way that, at least one Minister is appointed from each State.

If you read the language of the constitution, it appear to state that, if section 147(3), which is state requirement is not met, then any appointment made under section 147(2) is invalid.

So, yes the constitution mandates the President to at least create 36 Ministries and appoint at least one Minister to these offices from one state. If the President, go ahead and appoint ministers from certain states and ignore other states, those states have the right to sue the President, because that is a clear violation of the constitution.

It appear that, the constitution want each and every state to benefit from holding a federal ministerial level office. And the President cannot fault the economy for been the reason to violate the constitution.

I have also attached a link to the constitution below for your edification...

majmustrise:

Southerner will full that list.

Igbo specifically.

The old guy doesnt hide his hatred towards the south

The constitution does not envisage a minister without a ministry either

If Buhari does not assign at least a Minister Of State portfolio to all the Ministers and leave some without an assignment then they must get get ready to defend their actions in court!

castrokins:
Mr. Buhari, You're Bound By The Constitution To Have 36 Ministers Drawn From The 36 States Of The Federation. It's Not Your Place To Change The Constitution Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria. If You Like, Make Them Ministers Of Their Families, But Respect The Laws Of The Land.
Let's See How Our Lawyers Deal With This One.

Nigeria: welcome back to 1983

ParadiseN:
Anything to reduce cost by this government is a right step in the right direction.

My only question is why is there a break in communication between the president and his aids? who was the person trying to tell us that what the President meant is that some ministers will not have full control of their ministries? Please be guided and stop making governance look like childs play.

And u would wonder why there's a total communication blackout between the president and the masses.. That's exactly why it's been plagued with denials and counter denials of reports. My question now is, what exactly would those of dem without portfolio be doing? Money don dey begin miss road b dat.

kayusely:
Some large ministries should have two ministers. Like Agric external affairs education power etc
