Tinubu Limits Ministers, Agency Heads to Three-Vehicle Convoys

President Bola Tinubu has restricted ministers, ministers of state, and heads of agencies of the Federal Government to a maximum of three vehicles in their official convoys.

The President said no additional vehicles would be assigned to them for movement.

The cost-cutting measure was announced on Thursday in a statement signed by the President.

In January this year, Tinubu reduced his entourage on official foreign trips from 50 to 20, and 25 for official local trips.

He similarly reduced the Vice President’s entourage to five officials on foreign trips and 15 for local trips.

“In the directive issued today, President Tinubu also ordered all ministers, ministers of state, and heads of agencies to have at most five security personnel attached to them.

“The security team will comprise four police officers and one Department of State Services officer.

“No additional security personnel will be assigned,” he ordered.

Mr Tinubu instructed the National Security Adviser to engage with the military, paramilitary and security agencies to determine a suitable reduction in their vehicle and security personnel deployment.

“All affected officials are expected to comply with these new measures immediately, underscoring the urgency and seriousness of these changes,” said Mr Tinubu.
