Ministry of Aviation collapsed?

From all indications, there seems to be adjustment in the composition of the Federal Ministries. Of note is the absence of Federal Ministry of Aviation in the new structure as the Presidency announced the appointment and deployment of permanent secretaries. Could it be that that of the Ministry of Aviation is yet to be appointed? Mrs. Binta Bello of the former Ministry of Aviation has been redeployed to the Ministry of Women Affairs. Could this also mean that the Ministry of Aviation has been collapsed into the Ministry of Transportation? These questions probably will be answered when President Muhammadu Buhari constitute the Federal Executive Council in a matter of hours.
