I think this is a wonderful initiative by the new Finance Minister, Mrs Kemi Adeosun...

The Federal Government has announced the establishment of an Efficiency Unit (E-Unit) to monitor its agencies and ensure that all expenditures are necessary and represent the best possible value for money.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Director, Press, Federal Ministry of Finance, Mr Marshall Gundu, on Wednesday in Abuja.

It stated that the E-Unit was domiciled at Federal Ministry of Finance and was expected to review all government overhead expenditure, to reduce wastage, promote efficiency and ensure quantifiable savings for the country.

It said the E-Unit would work across all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to identify and eliminate wasteful spending, duplication and other inefficiencies.

It was also expected to identify best practices in procurement and financial management and share such knowledge with the MDAs to ensure its adoption.

“Findings of the Efficiency Unit will be formally communicated accordingly and will be enforced through establishment of expenditure guidelines, undertaking follow-up reviews and spot checks.

“Other measures that will ultimately checkmate wastage across all areas of Federal Government expenditure will also be adopted.’’

Clueless government. Amateurs. BS everywhere everyday.
