Should there be a standard format and should the other articles be renamed? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:42, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I believe we should have a standard format for it as suggested. How about we have (Name of Ministry), (Country) example Federal Ministry of Finance, Nigeria or Nigerian Ministry of Finance. Either of them seems good to me. Edidiong (talk) 08:34, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I prefer disambiguating with Nigeria in parentheses or comma since it isn't official, then we make the others a redirect. HandsomeBoy (talk) 06:39, 27 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I second that. Specifically, the version with parentheses seems most appropriate. That way, it's not in doubt that the word "Nigeria" is not originally part of the name, but merely introduced for the purpose of disambiguation. – BroVic (talk) 08:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Questionable value of section's narrative
The section Ministries has a leading narrative that seems totally pointless and is not really adding value to the section (or perhaps even to the article as a whole). I would suggest that it be expunged or relocated to a new section or a different article that probably discusses the details (or vagaries) of civil service administration in Nigeria. — BroVic (talk) 15:07, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
