President Bola Tinubu has announced new measures to cut government spending and ensure disciplined financial management in Nigeria.

His latest directive limits ministers, ministers of state, and agency heads to three vehicles in their official convoys.

This aims to reduce unnecessary costs and promote better use of resources. No additional vehicles will be provided for their travel.

The President has also capped the number of security personnel for these officials at five: four police officers and one officer from the Department of State Services (DSS).

This change will lower the financial burden of security details.

These new rules build on earlier actions by President Tinubu to cut government costs.

In January, he reduced the number of officials travelling with him on foreign trips from 50 to 20 and on local trips from 50 to 25.

The Vice President’s team was also cut to five on foreign trips and 15 on local trips.

President Tinubu has asked the National Security Adviser to work with military, paramilitary, and security agencies to find ways to reduce vehicle and personnel deployment.

This review aims to eliminate waste and make better use of resources.

All officials affected by these measures must comply right away, showing the urgency of these reforms.

Analysts support these steps, noting they could lead to significant savings.

“These measures show the President’s commitment to responsible governance and fiscal prudence,” said Dr Yemi Ogunyemi, a leading economist.

It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.

This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
