President Bola Tinubu has ordered a significant reduction in the size of Nigeria’s delegation to the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, United States.
According to a statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the directive was disclosed by the Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, during a retreat organized for heads of government agencies under the supervision of the State House.
The statement read;
“Highlighting the need for the State House and agencies under its supervision to ensure that its functions are guided by statutes, regulations, policy decisions and presidential directives, Gbajabiamila hinted at upcoming policy announcements aimed at ensuring efficient service delivery in government operations.
”I just discussed with the President this afternoon. In the next few weeks, we are going to see a test of this policy during UNGA in New York. During recent protests, there were talks about reduction in cost of governance. Everyone is waiting to see if Nigeria, as in the past, will send the ‘largest delegation’ to UNGA. From experience, we know that some individuals use the opportunity of such international meetings to go about their personal businesses.
