President Bola Tinubu has approved a groundbreaking directive to reduce the size of official delegations for both foreign and domestic trips by up to 60%. The decision, communicated by Presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale, highlights the drastic cut in the number of accompanying individuals for top government officials, including the President, Vice President, and the First Lady.
The move is anticipated to streamline government spending, reflecting Tinubu's commitment to efficiency and cost management. The directive extends to all government ministries, departments, and agencies, emphasizing the need for officials to mirror the prudence expected of Nigerian citizens.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, will oversee compliance, with warnings of consequences for violators.
