<P> The ministries and parastatals are staffed by career civil servants . Each is headed by a Permanent Secretary, a senior civil servant appointed by the Head of the Civil Service . The Permanent Secretary is accountable to a Minister, who sits in the Cabinet and reports to the President . The Minister is appointed by the President subject to approval by the Senate and is responsible for policy, while the Permanent Secretary is responsible for implementation of policy . </P> <P> By convention, there must be one Cabinet member from each of the 36 states in Nigeria, although there are only 19 ministries and at times a Federal minister is responsible for more than one ministry (e.g. Environment and Housing), or the President takes direct control of a key ministry such as Petroleum Resources . To ensure representation from each state, a Minister is often assisted by one or more Ministers of State . </P> <Table> Cabinet of Nigeria: 11 November 2015--Present <Tr> <Th> Portrait </Th> <Th> Portfolio </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Incumbent </Th> <Th> Term </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> President Commander - in - chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces Minister of Petroleum </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Muhammadu Buhari </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Vice President </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Yemi Osinbajo </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Justice Attorney General </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Abubakar Malami </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Foreign Affairs </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Geoffrey Onyeama </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Finance </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Folake Adeosun </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Defence </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Mansur Dan Ali </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Education </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Adamu Adamu </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Okechukwu Enelamah </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Labour and Employment </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Chris Ngige </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Federal Capital Territory </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Mohammed Musa Bello </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Science and Technology </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Ogbonnaya Onu </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Solid Minerals </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> John Kayode Fayemi </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Interior </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Budget and National Planning </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Udoma Udo Udoma </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Power, Works and Housing </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Babatunde Fashola </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Audu Ogbeh </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Transportation </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Rotimi Amaechi </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Health </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Isaac Adewole </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Women Affairs </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Aisha Alhassan </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Niger Delta </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Usani Uguru Usani </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Information </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Lai Mohammed </Td> <Td> 2015--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Minister of Environment </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Amina J.
