…NIPC merged with NEPC
President Tinubu has taken a decision to implement the Oronsaye Report.
Naijablitznews.com reports NACA merged with NCDC, NEMA merged with Commission for Refugee migration.
NIPC merged with NEPC and National Theatre merged with National Troupe of Nigeria.
Tinubu has made commitments to cut the cost of governance by scrapping many agencies of the federal government and merging others.
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) reached the decision to implement the Oronsaye Report on Monday (today).
Recall the Steve Oronsaye panel was set up about 12 years ago.
The panel made far-reaching recommendations to the federal government which are yet to be implemented thus far.
One of the recommendations of the Oronsaye panel was for the federal government to restructure and rationalise parastatals and agencies of the government with the view to cut costs.
Arising from today’s FEC meeting, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser, Information and Strategy to President Tinubu, disclosed that many agencies would be scrapped in line with the report.
“Twelve 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.
“Many agencies will be scrapped and many others will be merged, to pave way to a leaner government,” Onanuga stated.
