President Bola Tinubu has reduced the vehicles in the convoy of ministers, heads of departments and agencies to three.
This according to the Special Adviser to the President on Communication and Media Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, is part of the cost-cutting measures of Tinubu’s administration.
He disclosed this on Thursday that no additional vehicles will be assigned to them for movement.
The President also ordered all ministers, ministers of state, and heads of agencies to have at most five security personnel attached to them.
“The security team will comprise four police officers and one Department of State Services (DSS) officer.
“No additional security personnel will be assigned,” he said.
The President instructed the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, to engage with the military, paramilitary and security agencies to determine a suitable reduction in their vehicle and security personnel deployment.
“All affected officials are expected to comply with these new measures immediately, underscoring the urgency and seriousness of these changes,” Onanuga said.
Earlier in January, the President reduced his entourage on foreign trips from 50 to 20 officials. For local trips, he reduced it to 25 officials.
He similarly reduced the entourage of Vice President Kashim Shettima to five officials on foreign trips and 15 for local trips.
