Renewed Hope: SGF to Monitor Compliance of the President Tinubu's Directive on Cutting Cost of Governance

In a major cost-cutting move, President Bola Tinubu approved a directive to slash the size of official delegations for foreign and domestic trips by up to 60 percent. For foreign trips, Tinubu’s delegation will now be capped at 20 people, down from 50 previously, while that of the First Lady’s entourage abroad is restricted to just five members, a more than 60 percent reduction.

For the vice president, the foreign delegation will be limited to five, same for his wife. For domestic trips within Nigeria, the president’s delegation is now capped at 25, the first lady at 10, the vice president at 15 and his wife at 10 members. For ministers, their delegations are limited to just four members of staff on any foreign trip while government chief executive officers (CEOs) will have just two.

The secretary to the government of the federation, Sen. George Akume, was directed by Mr. President, to monitor the directive for compliance and government officials were warned that anyone who violates the directive would face the consequences.

President Tinubu has, by his most recent directive approved a massive cost cutting exercise that will touch across the entire federal government of Nigeria and the offices of the president himself, the vice president and the office of the first lady. It will be conducted in the following fashion.
One, the official trips that will be undertaken within the country, that is, when Mr. President or the Vice President travels to any state within the country, the massive bills that accrued due to allowances and estacode for security detail coming from Abuja and traveling into those states will be massively cut due to the directive of the President.
