In Nigeria there are 30 Federal Ministries,
covering all sectors of the economy.
Each has a Federal Minister and in some cases, a
Federal Minister of State at the helm of
affairs. These appointments are made by the
president. The Permanent Secretary is the
administrative head of each ministry, while the
Head of Service is the administrative head of
the Civil Service.
I
left Nigeria so many years ago (15) that I have lost
track of the number of states talk less of the
Ministers. These are the ministers that I was able
to find online. It's pretty hard to find this
information online and these continually change as
ministers come and go...
