According to 800-page Oronsaye Report, the whole essence is to reduce the cost of governance with the elimination of duplicated functions by several departments and agencies, the government should go ahead to revalidate recommendations.

It is envisaged that the planned implementation of Stephen Oronsaye Committee’s report by the federal government will lead to a gale of sack across Ministries and Departmental Agencies .After many years of procastination the much hyped civil service reforms which has been on hold, may have become inevitable with the decision of the federal government to finally implement the recommendation of the Stephen Oronsaye Committee report, almost eight years after.

Though the federal government has assured that the envisaged rationalisation would not affect personnel, some of the affected agencies would need enabling legislation to consummate the harmonisation, just as stakeholders continue to urge restraint in the hurry to shrink the establishments. With this directive, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority , Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria , Nigerian Airspace Management Agency , Accident Investigation Bureau , Nigerian Meteorological Agency are expected to relocate within the given time frame.

An endorsed copy received by FAAN’s Laison Office in Abuja on May 06, 2020 directed all directors to coordinate effective mobilisation to achieve the directive on time on its meeting agenda for the week after. On May 1, on the occasion of the Workers’ Day celebration, President Muhammadu Buhari had spoke to the fears of impending doom being envisaged by workers thus: “I understand the anxiety, which has plagued the minds of workers over the possibility of job losses due to the economic downturn caused by the pandemic and lockdown, especially in the private sector.

But to many, what Buhari only translate to mere platitudes and nothing else as they affirmed that the planned implementation of the Oronsaye committee report is certain this time around.The Nigeria Civil Service Union has warned the Federal Government against the implementation of the Oronsaye Committee Report, saying that it would lead to the lay-off of thousands of workers in the public sector.

In a statement by its General Secretary, Yahaya Ndako, the union said: “The National Administrative Council condemned in its entirety the proposed implementation of the report at this critical time, which is driven towards victimising and laying off thousands of working people in the public sector into the pool of industry of unemployment.

The oil price crash induced by the deadly coronavirus pandemic has continued to take a toll on the national economy, leaving the Federal Government to opt for cost-saving measures, which focused on the MDAs. According to the union, since Nigeria has been rated among the poorest countries implementing the report will lead to social crisis.
