President Bola Tinubu has taken decisive action by inaugurating an 11-member committee tasked with implementing the approved recommendations from the Oronsaye report.
The report focuses on the restructuring and rationalization of government parastatals, agencies, and commissions.
Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, represented Tinubu at the ceremony. The committee comprises key individuals, including Minister of Justice Lateef Fagbemi, Budget and Economic Planning Minister Atiku Bagudu, and Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation. Hadiza Bala-Usman, Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination, is also part of the team.
The committee’s mandate involves reviewing the current functions, responsibilities, and objectives of the affected parastatals, agencies, and commissions. Their goal is to identify redundancies, overlaps, and conflicting objectives among different organizational units. Additionally, they will define strategic objectives to align with the overall priorities of the government.
Tinubu emphasized that this exercise aims to streamline efficiency and reduce the cost of governance. The committee’s work will include crucial decisions such as mergers, relocations, and potential eliminations of certain entities.
