BREAKING: Tinubu to implement Oronsaye report, cutting 263 agencies to 161
President Bola Tinubu has finally moved to implement recommendations of Stephen Oronsaye report of scrapping or merging some of the federal agencies.
This is coming twelve years after the submission of the report to the Federal Government.
The 2011 report, commissioned by the then President Goodluck Jonathan, had called for the consolidation, merger or scrapping of numerous redundant and inefficient government parastatals.
However, successive administrations failed to act on the report until now.
Speaking after a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Monday, Information Minister, Mohammed Idris, announced that Tinubu had approved wide-ranging reforms based on the Oronsaye Committee’s recommendations.
He said many agencies would be eliminated, combined with others, or restructured.
Idris said the move was a cost-cutting measure to streamline governance.
He said President Tinubu had established a committee tasked with executing mergers, scrapping, and relocations within a 12-week timeline.
This decision followed the comprehensive Oronsaye Report of the 800 pages, which recommended reducing the number of statutory agencies from 263 to 161, scrapping 38 agencies, merging 52, and reverting 14 to departments in different ministries.
