Nigeria is a merger of the Northern protectorate and the Southern protectorate. The area that became Nigeria has long been inhabited by humans. During the 15th and 18th century, people in this region, experienced slavery, under the British. In 1960, the region gained independence and was named Nigeria.{ History of Public Administration in Nigeria }

Nigeria uses the three-arms of government system. These three arms are the Executive, the Legislature, and the Judiciary. The executive of the country is responsible for the welfare of the citizens. The legislature is concerned about creating laws and policies. The judiciary is responsible for implementing laws. One of the ways in which the executive strives towards aiding the welfare of its people is providing direct services to the citizens.

The executive has a body of people who help render direct services to the citizens. This body of people is known as public administration. The Nigerian public administration is made up of ministries. Each ministry has an interrelated set of services they provide. The following is a list of all ministries in the country, their address, and phone number.
