FG to Set Up Panel on Implementation of Oronsaye Report via thisdaylive
By Onyebuchi Ezigbo
President Muhammadu Buhari had ordered that the White Paper on the report, submitted in 2014, be dusted up and implemented as one of the steps to reduce governance cost in the face of plummeting revenue occasioned by the outbreak of COVID-19 and its attendant effect on global oil price volatility. From the committee’s recommendations, the number of statutory agencies should be reduced from the current 263 to 161.
A source at the presidency confided in THISDAY that the implementation of the report would mainly lead to the merging of related offices except where the agency or parastatals are adjudged to have outlived their usefulness or have become unproductive. ASCSN’s Secretary-General, Mr. Alade Lawal, said the body was shocked that government decided at a time when the world was mourning the death of thousands of people killed by COVID-19 to implement the Oronsaye report.
