Orosanye Report: Tinubu Approves Merger of Agencies

Orosanye Report: Tinubu Approves Merger of Agencies

Highlights of Federal Executive Council decisions on Monday, 26 February

Here are some of the highlights of the far-reaching decisions taken today at the Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

1. FEC approved the Lagos-Port Harcourt-Calabar Coastal Superhighway construction to Messrs Hitech Construction Africa. The First phase, made up of 47 km, will begin in Lagos.

2. Social security payments to vulnerable households to begin immediately. Recipients will be those with NIN and BVN.

3. Social security payments to be extended to graduates from NCE and upwards

4. Consumer Credit is to be established very urgently. Chief of Staff to lead a committee that includes the Budget Minister, Attorney-General, and Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Finance to make the scheme a reality.

*5. The Council, in order to enhance efficiency in the Federal service and reduce the cost of governance, decided to implement the recommendations of the Steve Oronsaye panel on the restructuring and rationalisation of Federal agencies, parastatals and commissions.*

The implementation involves merging, subsuming and scrapping agencies with similar functions.

The Oronsaye report was submitted in 2012 to the Jonathan administration. In 2014, the Jonathan government released a white paper on the report. The Buhari administration, after re-examining the white paper, also released a second white paper in August 2022 but did not implement the report.

However, the Tinubu administration has decided to confront the monster of high governance cost by implementing elements of the report.

An eight-man committee has a 12-week deadline to ensure that the necessary legislative amendments and administrative restructuring needed to implement the reforms are effected in an efficient manner.

The committee comprises Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Head of the Civil Service, Attorney General and Justice Minister, Budget and Planning Minister, DG Bureau of Public Service Reform, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Coordination, Special assistant to the president on National Assembly. The Cabinet Affairs Office will serve as the secretariat.

Key recommendations for implementation:
