President Tinubu Orders Full Implementation Of Oronsaye Report
President Bola Tinubu has ordered the full implementation of the Oronsaye report.
As a result, it announced the merging, subsuming, scraping and relocation of several agencies of government.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this to State House Correspondents after Monday’s Federal Executive Council meeting at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
“So in a very bold move today, this administration, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, consistent again with his courage to take very far-reaching decisions in the interest of Nigeria, has taken a decision to implement the so-called Oronsaye Report.
“Now, what that means is that a number of agencies, commissions, and some departments have actually been scrapped. Some have been modified, and marked while others have been subsumed. Others, of course, have also been moved from some ministries to others where the government feels they will operate better,” Idris had said.
Consequently, the President constituted a committee to implement the mergers, scrapping and relocations within 12 weeks, said Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Coordination, Mrs Hadiza Bala-Usman.
Submitted in 2012, the Oronsaye report on public sector reforms disclosed that there are 541 — statutory and non-statutory —Federal Government parastatals, commissions, and agencies.
