 Ministers, Heads Of Agencies Restricted To 3-vehicle Convoy — Tinubu


In a move to cut the cost of governance, President Bola Tinubu has restricted ministers, ministers of state, and heads of agencies of the federal government to a maximum of three vehicles in their official convoys.


Tinubu, through a statement by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, said no additional vehicles will be assigned to them for movement.


The cost-cutting measure was announced today in a statement signed by the President.


In January this year, President Tinubu took significant steps to reduce government expenditure by reducing his entourage on foreign trips from 50 to 20 officials while approving 25 for local trips.


He similarly reduced the Vice President’s entourage to five officials on foreign trips and 15 for local trips.


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, he ordered.


President Tinubu instructed the National Security Adviser to engage with the military, paramilitary and security agencies to determine a suitable reduction in their vehicle and security personnel deployment.


All affected officials are expected to comply with the new measures immediately.
