The Nigerian constitution provides for no role for the VP except being President in waiting

Is this a very good use of human resource? As oil price crashes and the need to streamline Government becomes paramount. Should the office of the VP double as a Minister? E.g. Minister for Internal Affairs

how?

The Minister is the eyes of the executive arm of government in his own Ministry
The Minister is also part of the executive cabinet which the VP is also part of.

This will help just as it does for Osun State whose Deputy Governor doubles as the Commissioner of Education. The in-coming VP, Osinbajo, being a professor and lawyer may man the Ministry of Education or Justice.

It is might constutional but it validates that principle.The constution under section 141 creates the position of vice president and under section 147 makes for that of minister.The constution makes for both office to be different and operated by different people though they are part of the executive.The executive is not one person but rather a group of people with different offices which should not overlap one another

The 1979 constution states that a vice president who is appointed as a minster has resignef though i have forgotten the section

In the US of A whose constitution we copied so badly and have a bloated assembly as a result, have the vice president doubling as the senate president.
