Ministers, Heads Of Agencies Restricted To 3-vehicle Convoy — Tinubu by Amotolongbo(op): 6:47pm On Oct 24, 2024
In a move to cut the cost of governance, President Bola Tinubu has restricted ministers, ministers of state, and heads of agencies of the federal government to a maximum of three vehicles in their official convoys.

Tinubu, through a statement by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, said no additional vehicles will be assigned to them for movement.

The cost-cutting measure was announced today in a statement signed by the President.

In January this year, President Tinubu took significant steps to reduce government expenditure by reducing his entourage on foreign trips from 50 to 20 officials while approving 25 for local trips.

He similarly reduced the Vice President’s entourage to five officials on foreign trips and 15 for local trips.

In the directive issued today, President Tinubu also ordered all ministers, ministers of state, and heads of agencies to have at most five security personnel attached to them.

The security team will comprise four police officers and one Department of State Services, DSS, officer.


No additional security personnel will be assigned, he ordered.

President Tinubu instructed the National Security Adviser to engage with the military, paramilitary and security agencies to determine a suitable reduction in their vehicle and security personnel deployment.

All affected officials are expected to comply with the new measures immediately.

Something that will never be implemented

In sane countries you'll find prime Ministers going to work on bicycles and public transport but here a local government chairman will have over 15 cars in his convoy....have you seen the convoy of the chairman of Bwari local government are of Abuja??

Do they even need convoy?
Re: Ministers, Heads Of Agencies Restricted To 3-vehicle Convoy — Tinubu by Bobloco:
Good one

But will the ministers obey this directive, will this directive be carried out to the latter especially by the minister of FCT Abuja?


when will Tinubu himself lead by example by converting his new all-black Armoured Cadillac Escalade SUV to CNG?

How many vehicles will he as a president use as convoy?
Re: Ministers, Heads Of Agencies Restricted To 3-vehicle Convoy — Tinubu by Kelklein(m):
This is a commendable directive

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Those in government or privileged to be in government should see it as a call to service and not a means to oppress or inconveniece the rest of the citizens on the road.. I once saw one Head of Federal Housing Authority who was said to be related to the Presidency or an inlaw, moving with a convoy of over 30 vehicles in Abuja.. just absurd!!

But this shouldn't be like one of those directives that would be implemented for two weeks and jettisoned and nobody knows what's happening afterwards..
Re: Ministers, Heads Of Agencies Restricted To 3-vehicle Convoy — Tinubu by Atuero(m): 7:08pm On Oct 24, 2024
Makes no difference

Until Tinubu give them CNG powered vehicles, I won't take him seriously

What if they move with their personal vehicles in addition to the official ones plus that of their Aids?
Re: Ministers, Heads Of Agencies Restricted To 3-vehicle Convoy — Tinubu by Nobody: 7:08pm On Oct 24, 2024
And what about your own convoy?

Re: Ministers, Heads Of Agencies Restricted To 3-vehicle Convoy — Tinubu by Inspirer1: 7:08pm On Oct 24, 2024
