President-elect Donald Trump recently named billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as the heads of a new initiative to overhaul federal government operations, which will be called the Department of Government Efficiency.

In his announcement, Trump highlighted the duo’s combined potential to dramatically reshape the U.S. government, reducing unnecessary bureaucracy and rethinking federal agency structures.

Trump likened this effort to a modern-day “Manhattan Project,” stressing the monumental scope of the proposed changes.

He stated that the agency, informally referred to as “DOGE,” aims to accomplish long-held Republican goals of cutting through red tape and making the government more responsive to American citizens.

Elon Musk, known for revolutionizing industries with companies like Tesla and SpaceX, is no stranger to large-scale innovation.

His involvement signals a shift toward a more business-minded approach to government, one where entrepreneurial principles could lead to streamlined processes and reduced spending.

Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy, who recently campaigned on promises of shaking up Washington’s status quo, brings a fresh perspective on political reform.

Together, Musk and Ramaswamy are expected to focus on eliminating waste and inefficiency in the federal government’s $6.5 trillion budget, targeting areas of excessive spending and operational waste that have long been sources of frustration for Americans.

In his announcement, Trump emphasized that Musk and Ramaswamy will collaborate closely with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget.

The goal is not just to reduce spending but to reinvent government systems in a way that serves the American people more effectively.

Trump expressed confidence in their ability to bring “advice and guidance from outside government,” leveraging their combined experience in both the private sector and political realms.

He envisions a streamlined government that prioritizes accountability to taxpayers.

Beyond cutting costs, the president-elect hopes this effort will empower American businesses and workers by reducing burdensome regulations that often slow economic growth.

The Presidency has made it clear that President Bola Tinubu is not focused on the 2027 election but is more concerned about driving economic reforms to improve Nigerians’ lives.

Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, said the president is prioritizing the long-term impact of his economic policies over political strategies.

In a post on his X page, Dare highlighted some of the positive changes under Tinubu’s leadership, including an increase in foreign reserves, a drop in inflation, a growing trade surplus, higher exports, and reduced imports. He also mentioned that Nigeria has attracted over $50 billion in investments and that prices are beginning to drop.

“You have a president who is clearly in control and committed to the decisions he’s made,” Dare said. “The next election isn’t his focus right now. What matters to him is being able to look back at the end of his first term and say, ‘I have improved Nigerians’ lives and turned the economy around.’”

Dare’s remarks come at a time when political realignments are taking shape ahead of 2027. Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, recently visited some top political figures after criticizing the All Progressives Congress (APC).
