THIS CABLE IS SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED.  NOT FOR INTERNET 
DISTRIBUTION. 
 
1.     (SBU) The Nigerian Federal Executive Council announced 
a reorganization of federal ministries and parastatals on 
December 13.  Some ministries were eliminated, some merged, 
and responsibilities moved.  The number of ministries will be 
reduced from 28 to 19; however, some offices, agencies and 
commissions within the Presidency will be elevated to 
cabinet-level in order to satisfy constitutional requirements 
for equal representation of the 36 states.  The 
reorganization is reportedly aimed at eliminating duplication 
of functions and reducing corruption in the public service. 
Changes are to take effect from January 2007 and a committee 
headed by the Secretary of the Government has begun work to 
make necessary legislative changes. 
 
----------------------- 
MINISTRIES NOT AFFECTED 
----------------------- 
 
2.     (SBU) Only seven of the existing twenty-seven 
ministries are not affected by the reorganization.  They 
include the Ministry of Finance,  Ministry of Health, 
Ministry of Defense,  Ministry of Education, Ministry of 
Culture and Tourism, Ministry of Science and Technology and 
Ministry of Justice. 
 
------------------ 
CHANGES TO BE MADE 
------------------ 
 
3.  (SBU) According to statements from the Ministry of 
Information, the following changes will be made: 
 
-- The Ministries of Transport, Works and Aviation will merge 
to form the Ministry of Transportation. 
 
-- The Ministries of Commerce and Industry will merge to form 
the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. 
 
-- The Ministries of    Police Affairs and Internal Affairs 
will merge to form the Ministry of the Interior. 
 
-- The Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the National 
Orientation Agency are merged to form the Ministry of 
Tourism, Culture and National Orientation. 
 
-- The Ministry of Integration and Cooperation in Africa will 
be eliminated and its functions taken over by the Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs. 
 
-- The Ministry of Petroleum Resources will become the 
Ministry of Energy, which will assume responsibility for coal 
from the Ministry of Solid Minerals and power functions from 
the Ministry of Power and Steel. 
 
-- The Ministry of Power and Steel is eliminated and the 
Ministry of Solid Minerals Development will become the 
Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, which will take over 
steel-related responsibilities. 
 
-- The Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs, Youth 
Development and Special Duties is eliminated.  Youth programs 
will be the responsibility of a newly created Ministry of 
Youth.  Ecological funds will be managed by the office of 
Secretary to the Government of the Federation. 
 
SIPDIS 
 
-- The Ministry of Sports is eliminated and a new commission 
handling sports established within the Presidency. 
 
-- The National Planning Commission is removed from under the 
purview of the Office of the Economic Advisor to the 
President and elevated to a cabinet-level commission.

COMMENT 
 
ABUJA 00003218  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
------- 
 
4.  (SBU) It remains unclear how the new system will work, 
with some reports indicating there may be multiple Ministers 
heading some of the newly merged Ministries.  Pol Assistant 
has been told that the new system will seek to outsource more 
GON functions.  Given the high levels of corruption in 
Nigeria, outsourcing has often been associated with inflated 
contracts, kickbacks and of private firms hired to carry out 
tasks to which civil servants are also assigned.
