Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, has hinted of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s plan to prune down the number of
federal ministries from the current 42 to 19.
The reduction of federal ministries was part of the
recommendation of the Alhaji Ahmed Joda transition
committee.
Shehu, who made the intention of his principal
known to Daily Trust, stated that the President
believes the reduction would save cost of
governance and ensure proper coordination of
duties and better service delivery.
The presidential spokesman however, assured that
there would be no job losses in the process of
pruning the ministries, departments and
parastatals, explaining that the process would be a
very “painstaking thing” that would be done very
carefully.
He told workers not to fear as the Buhari
administration would not create unemployment,
assuring that the president remained committed to
his promise to create jobs.
