Tinubu cuts cost of governance by implementing Oronsaye Report
President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at the weekly meeting resolved to implement the report of Steve Oronsaye panel, 12 years after, to cut the cost of governance.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement highlighted: “twelve years after the Steve Oronsaye panel submitted its report on restructuring and rationalizing federal government parastatals and agencies and a white paper issued two years after, President Tinubu and the Federal Executive Council today decided to implement the report.
“Many agencies will be scrapped and many others will be merged, to pave way to a leaner government.”
Meanwhile, some stakeholders are asking if President Tinubu did not know he will implement the Orasanye Report before be created new ministries.
A stakeholder listed some of the new ministries to include
* Marine and Blue Economy
* Tourism
* Art, Culture and the Creative Economy
* Gas Resources
* Steel Development
* Finance and Coordinating Economy
Some others argued that if the President wants to cut the cost of governance he will not appoint several media and publicity special advisers.
