Executive Summary
1. The Acting Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Mrs. Winifred Ekanem
Oyo-Ita, FCA, inaugurated the Committee on the Review of the Structure of
Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) on 17thNovember, 2015. This
followed the appointment of Ministers and the merger of Ministries, resulting in the
reduction of Federal Ministries from thirty one (31) to twenty four (24).
2. The Committee’s Membership comprises select former Heads of the Civil Service of
the Federation, retired and serving Federal Permanent Secretaries, the Director-
General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) and the Director, Office of
the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Millennium Development Goals
(OSSAP-MDGs) as Secretary.
3. The Committee’s Terms of Reference (ToR) are to:
i. carry out a review of each Ministry’s Functions and Responsibilities and
determine the appropriate Functions to avoid overlap, duplication of
Functions and redundancy;
ii. assess the current Organizational Structure of each Ministry and recommend
an improved structure for efficient and effective service delivery;
iii. examine the Nominal Rolls of the MDAs and make appropriate
recommendations for effective deployment of staff;
iv. identify and align all the Mandates of the 24 existing Ministries in line with
Government priorities and the Change Agenda;
v. examine and recommend the distribution of the existing Assets and
Liabilities of the MDAs;
vi. review the Operational Systems, Designs and Processes so as to retool and
reposition the MDAs for efficient and effective service delivery; and
vii. advise Government on any other matter(s) that would further facilitate
achieving the key objectives for the restructuring of the MDAs.
4. The Committee was to submit its Report within two weeks of its inauguration
on November 17, 2015. However, in the course of discharging its assignment, the
Committee realized that the scope of work was too enormous to be concluded
within the two-week timeframe. Accordingly, on November 27th, 2015, in a letter to
the Chairman of the Committee, the Acting Head of the Civil Service of the
Federation, granted two weeks extension for the submission of the Final Report
with effect from the date of submission of the Committee’s Interim Report.
5. Meanwhile, the Acting Head of the Civil Service of the Federation narrowed
the Committee’s Terms of Reference (ToR) to cover only the merged

viii
Ministries. Specifically, she advised the Committee “to focus its attention on the
merged Ministries that produced the seven (7) new successor Ministries. The
major activities to be carried out include the following:
i. Designing an optimal organizational structure for the successor Ministries,
taking cognizance of Staff strength, Departments, etc.
ii. Developing the Mandate, Functions and Responsibilities of the Ministry in
line with Government priorities and the Change Agenda, noting that
Government does not want to lay off workers;
iii. Distribution of the Assets and Liabilities within the successor Ministries; and
iv. Preparation of an Interim Report for work done/achieved in the first two
weeks”.
6. To arrive at informed Findings, Observations, and Recommendations, the
Committee’s Methodology was inspired by the policy direction of the present
Administration, notably tackling unemployment, leakages and waste in public
expenditure, and insecurity. Also, the Methodology was driven by the principles of
inclusive consultation and teamwork.
7. The Committee submitted an Interim Report to the Acting Head of the Civil Service
of the Federation on Friday, 4th December 2015, which addressed the preliminary
issues to facilitate the smooth take-off of the merged Ministries.
8. This Final Report is a deliverable of the Committee on the Mandate, Functions

g. Other Recommendations
i. In order to retain the technical nature of the National Planning Commission
aspect of the Ministry, the most senior Director be designated as Coordinating
Director to oversee the technical Departments.
ii. The former departments of Administration in the former Budget Office of the
Federation and the National Planning Commission should be merged and
named Human Resources Management Department. Similarly, the Finance
and Accounts Departments should be merged.
iii. The tariff issues being previously handled by the Budget Office should be
transferred to the Technical Services Department of the Federal Ministry of
Finance since the functions relate to adjustments in the schedules of the
Customs and Excise Management Act 1958.

xxviii
iv. The Ministry of Budget and National Planning should be responsible for the
preparation of Budget Estimates including allocation of funds to the votes of
the Ministries, Departments and Agencies and submit to the Federal Executive
Council for consideration and transmission to the National Assembly for
approval.
v. The disbursement or release of funds after appropriation by the National
Assembly should remain the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Finance
as specified by the Finance Management and Control Act, 1958. The issuance
of expenditure warrants and Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) should
continue to be the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance as they are part of
the statutory responsibilities of the Minister of Finance.
vi. A Cash Management Department should be created in the Federal Ministry of
Finance to handle the release of funds. The Federal Ministry of Finance
should ensure that copies of releases are made available to the Ministry of
Budget and National Planning.
vii. Where aspects of the Service-Wide Vote have been specifically earmarked for
augmentation for the provision of projects and programmes, the Ministries,
Departments and Agencies (MDAs) concerned should apply to the Minister of
Finance for appropriate release. For the unallocated portion of the Vote, a
request for accessing funds therefrom should go to the Minister of Budget and
National Planning for appropriate allocation. The ensuing approval should
then be sent to the Minister of Finance for the release of the amount
approved.
viii. Regarding the reporting line of the Director-General (Budget), it is necessary
to appreciate the centrality of the Budget function to the entire Government
machinery. To obviate delays and facilitate speed in the handling of the
considerable workload it entails, the Director-General (Budget) should report
directly to the Honourable Minister of Budget and National Planning for
operational matters and through the Permanent Secretary to the Ministers on
administrative matters.
ix. The technical staff of the Ministry should be ring-fenced to enable the National
Planning arm retain its technical nature.
x. Now that the Commission has been merged with the Budget Office as a
Ministry, the appointment of the staff recruited by the erstwhile National
Planning Commission should be regularized.

xxix
xi. The Budget Office of the Ministry should continue to operate from its present
location given the inadequacy of office accommodation.
xii. The Honourable Minister of State for Budget and National Planning should be
assigned specific responsibilities, although the overall responsibility for all
the functions of the Ministry lies with the Honourable Minister of Budget and
National Planning. In this regard, it is suggested that the Honourable Minister
of State for Budget and National Planning should have responsibility for the
three (3) Parastatals of the Ministry, as well as the Departments of Social
Development; Economic Growth; and Monitoring and Evaluation.
xiii. Government may wish to revisit the status of the Act for the establishment of
the National Planning Commission now that the Commission has been merged
with the Budget Office of the Federation to form the Ministry of Budget and
National Planning.
10. On Cross-Cutting issues, the Committee made the following recommendations:
i. Each Ministry should use the indicative guidelines in Chapter Nine of the Main
Report to develop and validate its Vision and Mission Statements in an
inclusive and participatory manner.
ii. Each merged Ministry should constitute a Ministerial Committee on
Independent Verification of Assets and Liabilities, using the indicative
iii. Merged Ministries should use the indicative guidelines and outlets proposed in
Chapter Nine of the Main Report for Intra and Inter-Ministerial staff
deployment.
iv. With the creation of the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, the
budget function which is operated as a Division in the Finance and
Accounts Division in most Ministries, should be merged with that of
Planning, Research and Statistics Department and the Department
renamed Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics.
v. In the Technical Ministries, the Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics
Department should be professionalized. In this regard, the structure and
staffing of the Department should reflect the technical nature of the respective
Ministries. To this end, the Department in the following merged Ministries
should be professionalized and renamed as follows:

xxx
Federal Ministry of Transportation
 Transportation Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics
Federal Ministry of Environment
 Environmental Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics
Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports
 Youth and Sports Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics
Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing
 Power Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics
 Highways Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics
 Housing Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics
Also, this recommendation should be made applicable to other unmerged
Technical Ministries.
vi. The Human Resources Management function should be professionalized and
manned by practitioners with relevant skills-set for the effective performance
of the following key HRM activities in the Service:
 Human Resources Planning and Strategy Execution;
 Organizational Resourcing and Talent Management;
 Performance Management;
 Employee Relations and Staff Welfare;
 Compensation Design, Administration and Management;
 Learning and Development;
 Transformation and Change Management; and
 Human Resource Records Management.
vii. A Committee should be constituted by the Head of the Civil Service of the
Federation to re-examine the office accommodation for all the Ministries in
order to address the challenges arising from scattered accommodation.
viii. The Director of Special Duties in each Ministry should be re-designated
Director, Office of Permanent Secretary (OPS), since an independent
Department cannot exist within the Office of the Permanent Secretary.
ix. Ministries, Departments and Agencies should undertake the activities
proposed in Chapter Ten of the Main Report, under the guidance of the
Steering Committee on Reforms (SCR), chaired by the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, in order to ensure a comprehensive
restructuring and repositioning of all Government entities.

CHAPTER ONE
PREAMBLE
1.0 Introduction and Background
The Committee on the Review of the Structure of Ministries, Departments and
Agencies (MDAs) was inaugurated by the Acting Head of the Civil Service of the
Federation, Mrs. Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita, on 17th November, 2015. This followed
the appointment of Ministers and the merger of Ministries, resulting in the
reduction of Federal Ministries from thirty one (31) to twenty four (24).
1.1 Merged Ministries
The merged Ministries are as follows:
i. Power, Works and Housing, merged from the defunct Federal Ministries of
Power; Works; and Lands, Housing and Urban Development;
ii. Transportation, merged from the defunct Federal Ministries of Transport
and Aviation;
iii. Interior, merger of Ministry of Interior and the defunct Ministry of Police
Affairs;
iv. Information and Culture, merger of Ministry of Information and the
defunct Ministry of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation;
v. Youth and Sports, merged from the defunct Ministry of Youth Development
and National Sports Commission;
vi. Environment- The Department of Lands was excised from the defunct
Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban development and merged with the
Federal Ministry of Environment; and
vii. Budget and National Planning, merged from the defunct Budget Office
(Ministry of Finance) and the defunct National Planning Commission.
The merger of the Ministries brought to the fore the need for a two-level
constructive alignment of the Ministries. The first level is that of intra-ministerial
structural alignment towards promoting synergy amongst the constituent parts of
the new Ministry. The second level is to promote a common understanding of, and
alignment of the mandates, functions and responsibilities as well as processes of the

2
Ministries with the policy direction of the present Administration for the Federal
Civil Service.
1.2 Composition and Inauguration of the Committee

1.5 Scope of Work and Limitations
1.5.1 In the course of discharging the assignment, the Committee realized that the scope
of work was too enormous to be concluded and a Final Report submitted within the

6
two-week timeframe given to it. Accordingly, an Interim Report, which addressed
preliminary issues to facilitate the smooth take-off of the merged Ministries, was
submitted to the Acting Head of the Civil Service of the Federation on Friday, 4th
December, 2015.
1.5.2 This Final Report is a deliverable of the Committee on the Mandate, Functions and
Structures of the seven merged Ministries, and the Cross-Cutting Issues arising from
the merger, as well as the Suggested Next Steps to effectively reposition and
reinvigorate the Federal Civil Service. Thus, there still remains substantially
unfinished work on the merged Ministries and extension of the same exercise to
other Ministries, Parastatals and Agencies, notably:
i. Ensuring that each Ministry/Parastatal/Agency has the right Structure and
Staffing to fulfil its mandate;
ii. Ensuring that each Ministry/Parastatal/Agency has the right Strategic
Direction, Policy and Mandate;
iii. Ensuring that Systems, Processes and Infrastructure are intentionally
organised to deliver mandate;
iv. Ensuring adequate resource allocation and efficient utilization (Human and
Financial);
v. Having clear Performance Objectives and Evaluation Criteria;
vi. Linking every job and job holder’s performance to the
Ministry’s/Parastatal’s/Agency’s mandate;
vii. Ensuring that each Ministry/Parastatal/Agency is ‘Fit for Purpose’; and
viii. Ensuring that Stakeholder Expectations are met.
1.5.3 For the Parastatals and Agencies, it is important to note that the present
Administration is revisiting the Report/White Paper of the Committee on the
Rationalization and Restructuring of the Federal Government Parastatals,
Commissions and Agencies (Oronsaye Report) under the Chairmanship of the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
1.6 Structure of the Final Report
1.6.1 The Report is divided into ten Chapters. The first Chapter covers the preamble,
while Chapters two to eight focus on each of the seven merged Ministries. Chapters
nine and ten are on Cross-Cutting Issues and Suggested Next Steps respectively.

CHAPTER TWO
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF POWER, WORKS AND HOUSING
2.0 Introduction
The Ministry of Power, Works and Housing is charged with the responsibility of
providing adequate and world-class critical infrastructure in the power, works and
housing sectors for sustainable livelihoods and accelerated national development.
Government’s renewed commitment to put in place appropriate short, medium and
long term measures to reinvigorate these three key sectors of the national economy
through adequate and reliable public power supply, increased access to all year-
round high quality roads, and safe, adequate and affordable housing, as well as
functional, inclusive and productive towns and cities will contribute significantly to
the diversification of the national economy. This will not only broaden the
productive capacity of the economy, but also enhance its global competitiveness. It
will further guarantee the well-being and productivity of the Nigerian people,
through poverty reduction, wealth and job creation. Mainstreaming small-scale
entrepreneurs, youths, artisans and other vulnerable groups in the country into the
development process will enhance their well-being, dignity and ensure their safety
and security for increased voice and participation in the task of nation building.
The work of the Ministry is aligned with all the Policy Thrusts of Government in its
2016-2020 Medium Term Sector Strategy Plan (MTSSP). Particularly, the Ministry
will contribute to sustained economic growth, improved access to Low-income
Housing, Social Housing, and improved state of infrastructure for the Power,
Housing and Roads Sectors, in partnership with States Government, Local
Governments and the Private Sector.
2.1 Pre-Merger Status
A. Ministry of Power
Introduction
2.1.1 Power is a critical and strategic requirement for the development of any nation. It is
indeed a catalyst and a driving force for development. The current challenges in the
power sector of the Nigerian economy can be traced to past years of under-
investment. To address these challenges, Government instituted the Electric Power
Sector Reform Act, 2005, to further liberalise the sector. Consequently, a Power
Sector Roadmap was designed and rolled-out to guide the unbundling of the sector,

8
institutionalise regulatory framework and attract private participation in the sector.
Since then, some achievements have been made and indications are that more will
be achieved in the years ahead if the Roadmap is properly implemented.
a. Vision
A robust and sustainable power sector that fully supports the socio–economic
needs of the Nation and contributes to the emergence of Nigeria as one of the top
twenty economies of the world by the Year 2020.
b. Mission
To provide the Nation with adequate and reliable power supply by implementing
generation, transmission and distribution projects in the sector and facilitating the
emergence of a private sector-led competitive and efficient electric power industry.
c. Mandate
The Ministry was mandated to develop and facilitate the implementation of policies
for the provision of adequate and reliable power supply to drive the socio-economic
development of the Nation. In discharging this mandate, the Ministry was guided by
the provisions of the National Electric Power Policy (NEPP) of 2001, the Electric
Power Sector Reform (EPSR) Act of 2005, and the Roadmap for Power Sector Reform
of August 2010.
d. Functions
development of the power sector (electricity) in general;
ii. initiating concessions in the power sector of the economy;
iii. licensing of electricity generating sets of 1MW capacity and below,
and electrical contractors;
iv. conducting investigation of electrical accidents to ensure safety in the
Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry (NESI);
v. conducting statutory tests and certifying electric poles (concrete,
wooden, steel, etc.) and other major electrical materials before they
are used on the grid and networks in Nigeria;
vi. implementing Renewable Energy programmes/initiatives (Solar,
Wind, Biomass, Small Hydro, etc.);
vii. coordinating activities of the power sector;
viii. handling policy matters relating to research and development in the
power sector;

9
ix. promoting the development of hydro power plants through public
private partnership (PPP);
x. participating in bilateral and multilateral relations affecting the power
sector; and
