On Monday, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) gave its approval for the implementation of the Orosanye Report, which aims to reduce the cost of governance. Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, made this announcement during a briefing with State House correspondents following the FEC meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The minister clarified that the adoption of the report entails the elimination, merger, restructuring, and relocation of various government agencies, commissions, and departments to enhance efficiency.
“In a very bold move today, this administration, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, consistent again with his courage to take very far-reaching decisions in the interest of Nigerians, has taken a decision to implement the so called Orosanye Report.
“Now, what that means is that a number of agencies, commissions, and some departments have actually been scrapped, some have been merged, while others have been subsumed. Others, of course, have also been moved from some ministries to others where government feels they will operate better.
“Like I said, this is a very far-reaching decision. It is aimed, one, to fine-tune or to restructure government operations as a whole. Secondly, it’s in line also with decision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reduce the cost of governance”, he said.
He clarified that the adoption of the report does not entail job losses for individuals employed in the impacted agencies and departments. As per the report, the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) has been consolidated with the Voice of Nigeria.
