The Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun has revealed that President Buhari has banned ministers and
other top government officials from flying first class while they travel
for official business.
As contained in a
statement released yesterday, Ministers, Permanent secretaries,
Chairmen of Federal Government committees, Chairmen and Chief Executives of
Parastatals and Agencies are to
travel only on business class.
The decision
was taken so as to reduce the amount of currently being spent on overhead expenditure.
The recommendation was proffered by the Efficency unit set up by the Minister of
Finance and would be a step towards reducing the country’s overhead expenses.
The unit was set up to introduce transparency
and reduce the Government’s large expenditure through procurement in the
various ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government.
