The governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has announced the reduction of the number of ministries in the state from 19 to 13; and a consequent reduction in the number of commissioners from 24 to 13.

This is part of the cost cutting measures being carried out by the governor which has already seen him slash his salary by 50%.

The new restructured ministries include:

1. Ministry of Justice;

2. Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry;

3. Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism;

4. Ministry of Local Government;

5. Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture;

6. Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources;

7. Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development;

8. Ministry of Water Resources;

9. Ministry of Health and Human Services;

10. Ministry of Education, Science and Technology;

11. Ministry of Budget and Planning;

12. Ministry of Finance and

13. Ministry of Works, Housing and Transport

Consequently, the governor has directed that the former Ministry of Lands, Survey and Country Planning be moved to his office as a department; while the former Ministry of Rural and Community Development becomes a department in the Deputy Governor’s Office.

Also, there will no longer be a ministry of Information, but each ministry will have its own public relations unit attached to the office of its commissioner.

Serious governor

El rufai is my leader

Someday its going to be Fashola/elrufai in aso rock

Also, there will no longer be a ministry of Information, but each ministry will have its own public relations unit attached to the office of its commissioner.

This is a VERY bad move. The management of information is a very serious business. That means there is no central information center in Kaduna state. This will hamper the flow of communication and will tell on the governance in the state. Whoever proposed this idea is a very mad man.

Konfam

that will be 2023 i think

,my gov u ar on d right path. D cost of governance in dis country is too much. Let every Gov follow suit

Trust me that won't happen. El rufai can never be President. The next President is Kwankwaso (under PDP) or a formidable NW candidate and a South Eastern VP come 2019.

dis is d kind of news we want to hear,dis is d change we yearn for

Nope. El-rufai/Fashola

Seems El-Rufai is the only governor serious about governance in Nigeria presently.

And I wonder in this age when every facets of human endeavour are unbundled to cater for absorption of more professionals and widen the scope for further research, a man is stifling, titrating and leaning the process, and expect applause.

Even if he will keep only the 'Ministry of Governor' alone, it can make no difference.

What happens to the staff of those ministries, how about their survival?

For what reason?!

No Ministry of Information and Communications?

Good leave that Ntun In Ebonyi that added one

So when will the South East be ready to present a formidable candidate for the presidency, if going by what you wrote, it means that the North can be in power for another 12 years (until 2027) if Kwankwaso or another name from the North contested to be president in 2019?

Barca, what info has the ministry been passing ever since its creation like seriously?

This is exactly what Osun state should have done long long time ago.
Any ministry that ordinarily cannot be self sustaining should be right sized or out rightly collapsed.
What is the use of huge wage burden on "non producing" ministries.

If in the future things turn around, the collapsed ministries and new ones could be recreated but for now, it is best we cut our coat according to our size.

haters, how far na?

With today's victory, you are allowed to dream. PDP what?

Bros, this is politics. The SE will be the beneficiary on the long run. Should Kwankwaso/Igbo VP rule for 8 years, the next will be a SE Presidential candidate and a NC VP. The NW won't have the moral right to complain. The APC will most likely Present a SW Presidential candidate. It will be a straight fight between the Pdp(se/ss) and APC sw politically! The NC,NE and NW will definitely be shared(the ratio depends on whoever APC present as VP and performance of Kwankwaso). With the bloc SS/SE votes for the PDP, the coast look clear. In life you plan ahead bro. Think.. Think....

Ditto

By their fruits..."

Bros, 21st century organisations and businesses/Government do not joke with information. In your local church you have information/Communication center. The Armed forces has separate Information Department for the Overall armed forces in addition to the respective services information department.
How do you manage the perception of government? Who will carryout communication audit for the government? Who will enlighten the people on policies of the government? Information Ministry is beyond Press release. I tell you el rufai is very CLUELESS on 21st Century leadership.

Let's shun all this political permutations. We can't play God, things change in a twinkle of an eye

Sure things change but you don't put yourself at the mercies of circumstance. You plan and prepare yourself so as to take your chance when it appears. Remember, Chance favors only the prepared mind!

Ministry of Land moved to his office? After "cornering" Abuja lands as minister, it's now time to corner Kaduna lands

El rufai is a professional in the built environment. Not just a surveyor but A leading Quantity Surveyor. With vast experience as to managing cost with respect to value.

So he his right to do that.
