President Bola Tinubu is set to announce a reduction in government expenses following the appointment and reassignment of new ministers to his cabinet.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this during an interview on ARISE TV.
Onanuga noted that despite appointing seven new ministers, President Tinubu’s administration is actively working on ways to significantly lower the cost of governance.
According to the Presidential Adviser, Nigerians will today hear an announcement about Tinubu’s efforts in ensuring that the cost of governance is reduced.
He said, “By tomorrow, the President will actually be announcing some cuts in government expenses, starting with the ministers. Tomorrow, I don’t want to pre-empt it; we have a statement ready. I don’t want to pre-empt it, but it will be drastic, to show that the government is really serious about reducing the cost of governance.
“The government knows what it’s doing. To really tackle the big issues in our country, you need many hands, many competent hands to drive the government’s agenda. It’s not about the size, but the government is going to take several actions. As I said, from tomorrow, you will hear announcements about what the government is doing to reduce the cost of running it.”
