In the case of the President on international trips, only 20 officials are allowed to accompany him, and 25 on local trips.

5 officials are allowed on the entourage of the Vice President and the First Lady on international trips.

Chief Ngelale further explained that the President was insistent that the prudence of government officials must reflect the prudence and efficiency of Nigerians.
