History edit
The ministry was formed in 2017, when president John Magufuli ordered that the Ministry of Energy and Minerals be separated into two. The president aimed to help focus supervision in two of the most important sectors of the country's economy. Angellah Kairuki was the first minister to serve in the Ministry.[2][3]
