2012 Report to Streamline Nigerian Agencies Resurfaces, Sparking Debate on Implementation
-
The Oronsaye Report from 2012 recommended scrapping or merging over 200 government agencies to reduce overlap and waste, potentially saving over N862 billion.
-
If fully implemented, the report would affect major agencies like EFCC, ICPC, and FRSC, and 102 agency heads would lose jobs.
-
The report faced pushback when it was released, with its major recommendations rejected or not implemented by the Jonathan administration.
-
A series of committees have reviewed and made proposals based on the Oronsaye Report over the years.
-
Dialogue with the National Assembly is key as most agencies were created through bills put forward by the legislature.
