…To scrap, merge many govt. agencies
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the full implementation of the Steve Oronsaye Report on Government’s restructuring, in a move to cut the cost of governance,
The decision comes twelve years after the submission of the report and the issuance of a White Paper two years later.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, revealed this to State House correspondents after yesterday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja.
Also, in a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu emphasised the need for a leaner government structure, stating: “We are committed to streamlining and rationalizing Federal Government parastatals and agencies to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in governance”.
Consequently, the implementation of the Report will result in the subsuming, scrapping, merging and relocation of several agencies of Government.
The statement read in part: “This strategic decision aims to streamline operations, reduce redundancy, and optimise resources within the Government.
“We must prioritise fiscal responsibility and accountability”, President Tinubu added, highlighting the importance of prudent management of public funds.
