The newly created ministries, marking Abdulrazaq’s efforts to restructure and strengthen his administration, are the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Livestock Development.
Both ministries, expected to play a critical role in driving economic growth and development across the state, will bring the total number of ministries in the state to 22.
