President Bola Tinubu banned government officials without well-defined roles from attending the forthcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September.
This was contained in a statement by Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the President on Media and Publicity. Ngelale said this was a sequel to a directive issued by President Tinubu on Saturday, aimed at reducing the size of Nigeria’s official delegation to the forthcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meetings in New York, United States.
According to him, the directive was disclosed by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, in Abuja during a one-day retreat organised by the State House management for heads of government agencies under its supervision.
Gbajabiamila, while addressing participants at the retreat of the senior state managers in Abuja, said the decision to streamline Nigeria’s delegation to the 79th session of UNGA in September is part of the administration’s commitment to ensure prudent management of resources and reduce the cost of governance.
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.
