The Federal Executive Council during its Monday meeting at Aso Rock, Abuja approved the implementation of the Oronsaye report on the merger and outright scrapping of the some government agencies, departments and parastatals.
The implementation is coming 12 years
after the Steve Oronsaye panel submitted its report on restructuring and rationalizing Federal government parastatals and agencies and a white paper issued two years after.
President Tinubu and the Federal Executive Council today decided to implement the report.
Bayo Onanuga, SA to President Bola Tinubu on his X handle said with the FEC decision, many agencies will be scrapped and many others will be merged, to pave way to a leaner government.
The move also aims at cutting costs of governance.
The Oronsaye report recommended the merger of National Agency For The Control Of Aids with NCDC, NEMA with Commission For Refugee Migration, Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission to merge Nigerian Export Promotion Council and National Theatre to merge with National Troupe Of Nigeria among others.
