Federal Ministries of Nigeria

The Federal Ministries of Nigeria are civil service departments that are responsible for delivering various government services. Each ministry is headed by a Permanent Secretary who reports to a Minister in the Federal Cabinet.[1] Some government functions are provided by "commissions" or parastatals (government-owned corporations) that may be independent or associated with a ministry.[2]

At times, ministries are amalgamated and at other times they are split. Thus Halima Tayo Alao was appointed Minister of Environment and Housing on 26 July 2007 by President Umaru Yar'Adua.[3]After a cabinet reshuffle, in December 2008 Nduese Essien was appointed Minister of Environment and Hassan Muhammed Lawal was appointed Minister of Works and Housing.[4]On 6 April 2010, Mohammed Daggash was appointed Minister of Works and Nduese Essien was appointed Minister of Lands, Housing & Urban Development.[5]The table below lists current or past ministries.
