Niger Reduces Ministries From 23 To 14
LEADERSHIP gathered that Governor Bello has already directed the Office of the Secretary to the State Government to issue a circular on the reduction of ministries in preparation for the submission of the list of commissioners to the State Assembly.
It was learnt that the list of the commissioners is ready and will soon be transmitted to the State Assembly for the consideration of the legislators.
Our correspondent gathered that the list may take many by surprise although it gave consideration to the spread of the state based on the three Senatorial districts with a view to avoiding the complaints that greeted the last appointments made by the governor.
A check at the State House of Assembly, however, showed that based on the calendar of the House, the legislators are due to go on recess today but may be ready to give room for emergency if they eventually receive the commissioners’ list.
When contacted, the chief press secretary to the governor, Dr Ibrahim Dooba, confirmed that the ministries have been reduced from 23 to 14 in preparation for the submission of the list of commissioners to the State Assembly.
Asked when the list will be submitted, he stated that the reduction of the ministries was an indication that the list of the commissioners was ready, but said he was not sure whether the list was submitted to the House of Assembly.
