You probably have heard it said somewhere or your saw it on the list of the ministers and their portfolios. But you didn’t know you know that there was any difference. You probably thought that “ministers” was a shorter form for “minister of state”.
Well, you should know that they are not the same thing. Here are there three major differences:
1. A Minister of State functions as junior to the Minister in running the affairs of the ministry and in the implementation of policies of government handled by the ministry.
2. The Minister covers all in the ministry while the Minister of State assists him in duties cut out for him by the Minister. The Minister of State may in some cases be the head of a special department in the President’s Office.
