BMO Commends Buhari On New Measure To Reduce Cost Of Governance

The Buhari Media Organisation, BMO, says President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to set new travel guidelines for public officials to reduce cost of governance is commendable.

Chairman of the organization,  Niyi Akinsiju  said the president’s new measures were in conformity with his pledge to cut down cost of governance.

According to Akinsiju the measure is an indication that the President has political will to keep his vow to effect cost-saving measures in line with efforts to ensure proper management of public funds

.
He said that the move was the first step toward cutting down recurrent expenditure and institutionalising financial prudence.

He said, “Buhari has never left any doubt about his position on the high cost of governance and only recently he renewed his vow to slash the cost when he received members of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, at the State House.

“So, it was not a surprise when new travel guidelines were issued on the President’s instruction by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation detailing slash in travels and estacodes for ministers and senior public officials

.
“We are delighted over the mandate handed down to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to seek approval for travel plans, as well as the decision to restrict foreign travels to two per quarter for ministers, heads of parastatals and top government officials.”
