President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the implementation of a report submitted by the presidential committee on restructuring and rationalization of federal government parastatals, commissions and agencies during the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

Commonly called the Oransaye report, the 800-paged report had recommended the abolishment and merging of 102 government agencies and parastatals.

Zainab Ahmed, the minister of finance, budget and national planning, told Channels TV on Wednesday that the president’s approval has been forwarded to the head of civil service and secretary-general of the federation.

“The president has approved that this administration should implement the Oransanye report,” Ahmed said.

“It has reviewed the whole of the size of government and has made very significant recommendations in terms of reducing the number of agencies and that would mean merging some agencies.

“This is a report that has been in place for a long time and there hasn’t been implementation but the president has approved that this should be implemented and we have conveyed Mr President’s approval to the arms of government that are responsible for this and that will be the office of the secretary of government and the head of civil service of the federation.”

Stephen Oransaye, a former head of civil service, had headed a committee set up by Buhari’s predecessor to identify civil service inadequacies.

At the time, the seven-man committee said the “rationalization of agencies, parastatals and commissions would have human dimensions and cost implications” and recommended that the government should focus on empowering the MDAs “to do more for less”.

Bubu the mumu is just clueless.

Trial by error government.

Achievement(s): Nothing.

They now know that this recommendation from the Jonathan Administration is the best.

I think this is a good move ,but why wait till now? Meaning the presence of COVID-19 forced the country into embracing this report. Hmm...Nigeria and leadership !

Great move...

I actually hope the implementation will be followed by a thorough political reform.

NASS to follow please...

No, he didn't merge them together. Just one person was heading the three ministries instead of three.

As for me, I will give kudos to buhari for this.

Golan007:

On paper yes, but doubled the size of national budget.. in recurrent spending. From N3.8tn in 2015 to over N8tn in 2019

Bubu the mumu is a dullard. Accept that already. Thanks.

Golan007:

You are correct. However, I'd expect that transition committee set up by President Buhari looked at this report earlier and start its implementation. Well, as they say, "better late than never."

SeverusSnape:

Bubu the mumu is a dullard. Accept that already. Thanks.

You are the dullard sir. Judging from your comments so far ...even in previous threads.

God bless Goodluck Ebele Jonathan forever .

Man wey him brain dey function well

I believe they have come into its realization that such cannot be sustained .

You are a zombie ma... Judging from the way you've been following me since today.

Laughable...

Are we resetting or na their usual flabbergasted show?

IamCookie:


Laughable...

I so much love Jonathan .

Real love not fake love .

SeverusSnape:

No , I am not a zombie. I just got tired of your hateful comments on our President's personality without a clear input to matters arising.

BigIyanga:

And what exactly is wrong with that?

NaijaRoyalty:

Real love not fake love .

No problem about that.
What about the way his administration runs the Economy , government and its institutions...?

Golan007:


And what exactly is wrong with that?

If you dont know the meaning of recurrent exp without Google, you should not engage this type of debate

IamCookie:

But you sounded like one. Most Bubu the mumu supporters are Zombies.

Which Clear inputs are you looking for again?, go through my posts and see if there's none. By the way, Zombies don't see clear inputs, it's like pouring water in a basket.

So, that is the reason you decide to embrace the 'unclear way of communicating?!' Funny man

That's a very dumb move.

He did well sincerely .

Commonly called the Oransaye report, the 800-paged report had recommended the abolishment and merging of 102 government agencies and parastatals.

It was recommended to Jonathan's administration but he lacked the political will, and not Jonathan's administration recommending it to Buhari's .

Maybe, There was a time i had time to thrash issues squarely, But when i realized that the people i was conversing with were not really humans , I changed tactics. I just type a short comment and move on.

Zombies that believe bubu the mumu is a saint and a man of integrity, Arguing with them is like boiling stone. . Waste of precious time.

Fingers crossed, We know this government is a government of 'we will' 'we will'. Let's see if they will implement it.
