Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, has instructed agencies and officers under the ministry to halt all approved foreign trips starting March 21, 2024. The directive, as stated by Permanent Secretary Dr. Emmauel Meribole, is in alignment with President Bola Tinubu’s order to suspend publicly-funded foreign trips by ministers and government officials.

According to the statement, officers planning public-funded international trips must secure presidential approval at least two weeks beforehand. The directive emphasizes the necessity of obtaining prior approval for such trips and puts all previously approved trips on hold, effective immediately.

The statement reads: “I am directed to inform you to suspend all foreign trips approved by the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development for all Officers in the Ministry and Agencies under Aviation with effect from March 21, 2024. This is in furtherance of a Presidential directive to suspend public-funded trips by government officials at all levels.

“Any officer who intends to go on any public funded international trip must seek and obtain Presidential approval at least two weeks prior to embarking on such trips which must be deemed absolutely necessary.

“All previously given approvals by the Minister are hereby put on hold from today March 21, 2024. Please, direct all your DFAs not to process any flight tickets and estacodes for now. Please, this is for strict compliance.”
