PRESIDENT TINUBU BEGINS REDUCING COSTS OF GOVERNANCE
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a bold move aimed at curbing excessive government expenditure, President Bola Tinubu has issued a new directive limiting the number of vehicles used by Ministers, Ministers of State, and Heads of Agencies in the Federal Government to a maximum of three in their official convoys. This restriction is part of an ongoing effort by the administration to streamline operations and promote fiscal responsibility across all levels of government.

The announcement, made public today through a statement signed by the President, underscores his administration’s commitment to reducing the cost of governance in Nigeria. The directive explicitly states that no additional vehicles will be assigned to these officials for their movements.

President Tinubu’s cost-cutting measures have been a central feature of his leadership. Earlier this year, in January, the President took significant steps to reduce the size of his entourage during official trips. For foreign visits, the number of officials accompanying him was reduced from 50 to 20, while local trips were capped at 25 officials. A similar reduction was applied to the Vice President’s entourage, which now stands at five officials for foreign trips and 15 for domestic engagements.

In the newly issued directive, President Tinubu has further ordered that all ministers, ministers of state, and heads of agencies be limited to a security detail consisting of no more than five personnel. The security team will comprise four police officers and one officer from the Department of State Services (DSS). The President emphasized that no additional security personnel will be provided beyond this mandate.

In addition to these instructions, the President has tasked the National Security Adviser with engaging the military, paramilitary, and security agencies to determine a suitable reduction in their vehicle allocations and security personnel deployment, in line with the government’s broader goal of trimming costs.

These new directives come with immediate effect, and all affected officials are expected to adhere strictly to the guidelines. President Tinubu’s latest move signals the administration’s unwavering dedication to fiscal prudence, and these measures are seen as a step toward a leaner, more efficient government.
