President of the federal republic of Nigeria has said that Nigeria  cannot afford to pay the 36 ministers  therefore not all the 36 ministerial nominees will be ministers, as some of them would only sit in the cabinet in other to meet the constitutional provision .

 President Buhari revealed this in an interview with The Nigeria Television Authority and other media outlets.

in president Buhari's word he said, '' there was no reduction of ministers to 36, what the constitution says and we cannot work outside the constitution, the constitution requires that there must be a cabinet representative from each state , yes there used to be 42 ministers. I think we would be lucky to have half of that  now because we cannot afford it . Others may be substansive ministers, but they will sit in the cabinet because that is what the constitution  says and we cannot operate outside the constitution''
