Indeed, I have discovered that a sizeable number of our people express surprise when I explain the structure of government to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fashola also said some Nigerians assume that as minister, he has the sole power to decide on monetary allocations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, I explain to people that as governor or minister I do not sign cheques, vouchers or documents that directly involve the transfer of money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the contrary, at certain levels of payment under the financial regulation, my powers as governor or minister are limited to approving recommendations for payment made to me through the permanent secretary, after he and I have satisfied ourselves that the government has received value for the payment or will do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the federal ministry of works and housing has several directorates such as construction and rehabilitation, planning and development, bridges and design, materials geotechnics and quality control, finance and accounts, legal and procurement, many openly express surprise when I tell them that only engineers, architects, valuers, builders, town planners and those involved in the built industry are staff of the ministry of works and housing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is true of the federal civil service system in this regard is largely true of the state civil service systems. This in part is why the public service is a bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am surprised that this surprises people and this is a part of the reason for choosing to discuss it at this public forum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, very often, I hear general statements that the president of Nigeria is very powerful. Sometimes, they say the office is too powerful in some cases they even ascribe more powers to him than the United States president.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of works and housing, Babatunde Fashola has stated that it is surprising that many Nigerians do not know that the president does not have the power to sack police officers.
