In a bid to cut the cost of governance, President Bola Tinubu has issued a directive requiring ministers and heads of federal government agencies to reduce the number of vehicles in their convoys to three.
The announcement was made in a statement on Thursday by Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special adviser on information and strategy.
As part of the cost-cutting measures, the president also ordered that ministers and heads of agencies should have no more than five security personnel attached to them.
The statement reads, “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 Department of State Services (DSS) officer.
“No additional security personnel will be assigned.”
Onanuga added that the president has instructed the National Security Adviser to consult with the military and other security agencies to determine a suitable reduction in their vehicle and security personnel deployment.
