The President Muhammadu Buhari has banned ministers and all top government officials from flying first class while embarking on officials trips.
The media adviser to the minister of finance Festus Akanbi, disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday and made available to The Cable.
Akanbi said the decision was taken in a bid to reduce the amount being spent on overheard expenditure.
The statement said permanent secretaries, chairmen of federal government committees, chairmen and chief executives of parastatals and agencies are to travel on business class.
Akanbi said the directive had been captured in a circular on review of overhead expenses released by the office of the secretary to the government of the federation.
He said the development was one of the recommendations made by the efficiency unit which was set up by Adeosun in order to reduce overhead expenses.
This idiot president should ban him self too for using our fleet of jets too!....

DeleteHabah Queeny dat word hmmmmm
DeleteBut is a good idea though
You are obviously not educated enough to realise how the problems the country is facing today is s direct result of the last administration mis management of funds. How do you expect him to sold problems overnight? Unfortunately he can't dip his hands in his pocket. Maybe you should ask the ministers in the last administration to do so. Try to educate your self dear!
DeleteIf only you had the smallest of senses, a grown, supposedly educated adult won't be typing such uncontrolled, uncouth & very irresponsible comments here. What exactly would please you guys? Even Jesus dying on the cross hasn't pleased you as is clearly obvious.
DeleteBaba leave sitting position mattter,give us fuel and electricity! Aahn ahhn!!!!
