The Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts Committee, Rep. Bamidele Salam has commended the efforts of President Bola Tinubu for his courage and patriotism in addressing a significant issue plaguing public finance in Nigeria.
He also called on the President to carry out similar action on the 2014 CONFAB Report.
This was contained in a statement by Rep. Salam, after the Federal Executive Council decision on Monday 26th February 2024, for the full implementation of Steve Oronsaye’s panel report to reduce the cost of governance, restructuring, and rationalisation of federal agencies, parastatals, and commissions.

The lawmaker further emphasized the importance of similar actions being taken regarding the 2014 National Conference report. The report, which he said contains crucial recommendations for national development and governance, has yet to be fully implemented.
According to him, “The Confab report contained Devolution of Power, Political Restructuring and Forms of Government, National Security; Environment; Politics and Governance; Law, Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Reform.
“Social Welfare; Transportation; Agriculture; Society, Labour, and Sports; Public Service; Electoral Matters, Foreign Policy and Diaspora Matters, Land Tenure Matters, and National Boundary.
“Trade and Investment, Energy; Religion; Public Finance and Revenue Generation, Science, Technology and Development Immigration
“The Report of 2014 National Confab is the only master plan/road map for restructuring Nigeria for the sake of peace, unity, progress, faith, love and tolerance in Nigeria”, he stated.
Rep. Salam noted the necessity of addressing the recommendations outlined in the 2014 Confab report, asserting that its implementation would significantly contribute to the advancement of the Nation.
He therefore urged fellow legislators to support any bills and other measures that will be presented by the president in the course of carrying out full implementation of the Orosanye’s report.
Naijablitznews.com reports that as discussions surrounding the effective utilization of public resources continue to gain momentum, Rep. Salam’s call for action on the 2014 Confab report, explains the importance of proactive governance in driving socio-economic development and fostering national unity.

The Nigerian police has finally approved the planned nationwide protests and outlined conditions for participants.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, revealed this on Friday while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He urged all groups planning to participate in the proposed nationwide protest to submit their details to the Commissioners of Police in their respective states.
The police boss said this was to ensure the protest was peaceful.
Egbetokun said, “We acknowledge the constitutional right of Nigerian citizens to peaceful assembly and protest.
“However, in the interest of public safety and order, we urge all groups planning to protest to provide necessary details to the Commissioner of Police in the state where the protest is intended to take place.
“To facilitate a successful and incident-free protest, they should please provide the following information: state the proposed protest routes and assembly points; expected duration of the protest; and names and contact details of protest leaders and organisers.”
The police boss said the information expected from the organisers also include measures to prevent hijacking by criminal elements, as well as key identifiers for possible isolation of potential troublemakers.
By providing the information, he said, the police will be able to deploy adequate personnel and resources to ensure public safety.
He said the police needed to know the specific routes and areas for the protest to avoid conflicts with other events or activities.
Mr Egbetokun said the police will “establish clear communication channels with protest leaders to address any concerns or issues that may arise; minimise the risk of violence, property damage, or other criminal activity.
“We encourage all protesters to cooperate with the police, obey the law, and adhere to global best practices for peaceful assembly to guarantee a safe and successful exercise of their rights.
