Yah mon, we be jammin in Nigeria mon, ya mon ya.

Inconsistencies

There are many inconsistencies in the list of government officials that would need to be validated; particularly as it pertains to the minister of defence (who currently is also the Secretary of the Federal Government though not listed as such) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.69.97 (talk) 15:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC) So who took out the cabinet members? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonfamini02 (talk • contribs) 17:44, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That would be me. The most recent ministers are listed in the template at the bottom {{Cabinet of President Umaru Yar'Adua}}, which is at the foot of the bio entry for each minister, and the ministries are listed in Federal Ministries of Nigeria and in {{Federal Ministries of Nigeria}}, which is at the foot of each article on a ministry. Ministries / commissions change from time to time, and ministers are re-assigned quite often, so it seems best not to duplicate the lists too often. But maybe it deserves more discussion?

Important notice

The government section of the "Outline of Nigeria" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist .

Thank you.

... that the federal government of Nigeria has three branches, an executive, legislative, and judicial in order to create a balance of power at the federal level?

Created/expanded by Eoc46 (talk) at 22:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]

@Eoc46: Hi Emma! Welcome to Wikipedia and DYK. Unfortunately, this article does not qualify for Did you know? because it is not a large enough expansion per readable prose size. The last revision before your edit had 7,898 characters readable prose, while the current revision has 24,655 characters (a 3.1x expansion when 5x is required). However, I'd like to thank you for improving this important article and adding nearly 30 new sources. One thing I noticed and corrected that you should take into account if you work on more articles in the future: reference tags go after periods, not before (see WP:REFPUNC). If you have any questions, please let me know. I doubt there is a shortage of African politics articles on this encyclopedia that can be improved, and I look forward to hopefully seeing further contributions from you in the future!

link 36 needs fixing

the link ^36 is being mis-directed / is ending up taking us to somewhere inappropriate for the reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.184.42.181 (talk) 17:46, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
