President Tinubu has taken a decisive step to curb government expenditure by slashing travel costs.
This action encompasses both domestic and international trips for government officials. Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesman, made this announcement at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday.
“Tinubu has directed that all state entourages be drastically reduced,” Ngelale said.
Ngelale underscored the gravity of the decision, emphasizing that it is not merely a suggestion but a firm directive from the top echelons of government.
In his statement, he elaborated, “The office of the president and staff will be affected. VP, appointees are affected. By this directive, there will be a slashing of expenditure on official travel by 60 per cent.”
