President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has issued a directive for ministers and heads of federal government agencies to cut down on the number of vehicles in their official convoys to a maximum of three, as part of his administration’s ongoing efforts to reduce the cost of governance.
This announcement was made in a press statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, on Thursday.
In addition to reducing convoy sizes, President Tinubu has ordered that ministers and agency heads should limit their security detail to no more than five personnel.
The statement read, “In the directive issued today, President Tinubu also ordered all ministers, ministers of state, and heads of agencies to have at most five security personnel attached to them,”
“The security team will comprise four police officers and one DSS officer. No additional security personnel will be assigned,” Onanuga added.
The president also instructed the National Security Adviser to liaise with the military and other security agencies to determine a suitable reduction in vehicle and security personnel deployment within their ranks, furthering the effort to streamline government expenditure.
