Talk:Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Nigeria)

This page: Foreign Minister, or Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Should this page be renamed "Nigerian Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs", for consistency? There are pages for Nigerian Federal Ministry of Commerce, and Nigerian Federal Ministry of Education for example. While most of this article is simply a list of the previous Ministers of Foreign Affairs, it still seems to me that the topic really is the *Ministry* itself, with information about the position heading it. It also doesn't appear that there is enough material to have separate "Minister" and "Ministry" pages, as with the Ministry_of_Defence_(Nigeria) and Defence_Minister_of_Nigeria. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your useful talk, Dracunculus. I believe this page should be left with its present title because being in short informative and list format, it's valuable for quick reference and historical purposes. Already, there's another commendably detailed page titled: Foreign relations of Nigeria. If there's still need for the *Ministry* itself to have a page, then it should be created. But I believe the information available so far on Foreign Relations of Nigeria is adequate with room for additional resources and improvement. Also, if it is really necessary to rename this page then, the title: "Foreign Ministers of Nigeria" should be considered aptly relevant. However, I still hold that he present "Minister of Foreign Affairs (Nigeria)" title, with its format, is meaningfully acceptable considering the high level importance of Foreign Affairs Ministers in countries around the world.

This page should actually be renamed "Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Nigeria)". From the way the content reads, it shows that it is about the ministry, and not the ministers. The list of ministers only states those who have headed the ministry since its creation and should be a section in the article. I believe when the page is fully developed, other sections would be added, accordingly. I strongly recommend the page title be changed to "Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Nigeria)".
