President Bola Tinubu's latest cost-cutting measure limits Federal Ministers, Ministers of State, and Heads of Agencies to a maximum of three vehicles in their official convoys. This directive is part of his broader effort to reduce government expenditures, particularly related to official travel. The measure also caps the number of security personnel for these officials at fiveāfour police officers and one DSS officer.
The President's directive extends to the Vice President's entourage, reducing it to five officials on foreign trips and 15 on local trips. Additionally, Tinubu has tasked the National Security Adviser with engaging the Military and other security agencies to further reduce vehicle and security personnel deployment.
These changes follow previous measures aimed at cutting down the size of the President's entourage for foreign and local trips. This move reflects the administration's focus on streamlining government operations and ensuring fiscal discipline.
