Don’t Distract Tinubu With 2027 Talks - APC Chieftain To Politicians

President Bola Tinubu has approved the relocation and subsumption of some Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the federal government based on the implementation of the Stanley Oronsaye report.

Naija News reports that the decision to implement the Oronsaye report was made public after Monday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, which was chaired by President Tinubu.

The Orosanya report recommended, among other things, discontinuing government funding of professional bodies and councils to free funds for capital projects.

It established that there are 541 Federal Government parastatals, commissions and agencies (statutory and non-statutory) and recommended that 263 of the statutory agencies should be reduced to 161, while 38 agencies should be abolished and 52 should be merged.

The panel also recommended that 14 of the agencies should revert to departments in ministries to pave the way for a leaner government.
