President Tinubu has implemented a significant 60% reduction in travel expenses for all government officials, both domestically and internationally.

Presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale made this announcement to State House Correspondents on Tuesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, stating that the directive aims to streamline official travel costs.

This cost-cutting measure will extend to the offices of the President, Vice President, First Lady, and ministers across the government.

“Tinubu has directed that all state entourages be drastically reduced,” Ngelale said.

The presidential aide said it is “not a request” but a “directive”.

“The office of the president and staff will be affected. VP, appointees are affected. By this directive, there will be a slashing of expenditure on official travel by 60 per cent,” Ngelale said.
