The Federal Executive Council has approved and adopted for implementation, the Oronsaye report which recommends the merger and scrap of some federal government agencies and departments across the ministries.
The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris who briefed State House Correspondents after the Monday Federal Executive Council Meeting, said that the President Tinubu-led administration has approved wide-ranging reforms based on the Oransaye recommendations.
Idris said that the move is part of the government’s cost-cutting measure initiative to streamline governance.
The minister reassured workers that the implementation of the Oronsaye report would not affect jobs but would secure positions for all affected staff in the new organizations.
Recall that 12 years ago, the Stephen Oransaye report on reforming Nigeria’s federal agencies was submitted to President Goodluck Jonathan.
The 2011 report, commissioned by then-President Goodluck Jonathan, had called for the consolidation, merger or scrapping of numerous redundant and inefficient government agencies.
