THE chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has thrown his weight behind the Steve Oronsaye Committee’s recommendations for the merger and scrapping of some parastatals and agencies of government.

This, according to him, will reduce the cost of governance and ensure effective service delivery.

Tukur, who  is also  the chairman of National Council on African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), spoke in Abuja on Monday in his remarks at the meeting of the council.

He said: “As you may be aware, the Federal Government recently set up a committee on the rationalisation and restructuring of  parastatals under the Federal Government.

“The objective of the exercise is to reduce the cost of governance. This is a right step in the right direction,” he said.
