President Muhammadu Buhari has
constituted his cabinet of 44 portfolios
– but there is a certain “familiarity” about the composition.
Hinging on zonal distribution,
some regions have more junior ministerial positions than others, just as
another region takes a large slice of the senior positions.
Out of the 44 positions, the north-west alone, Buhari’s
zone, has nine senior ministerial portfolios, but no junior portfolio.
The southeast has three senior
ministerial positions and three junior portfolios; the south-south has three
substantive positions in the cabinet, and four junior.
The south-west has five
substantive positions, and three junior positions. The north-central has three
senior positions, and four junior positions, while the north-east has four
senior positions and three junior positions.
The north-west takes a generous
portion both in the number of portfolios and in the strength of the offices.
