Shittu: Oronsaye Report to Merge Agencies Was Never Presented to Buhari Gov't
- Ex-Minister Shittu says Oronsaye's report was never presented to Buhari's administration while Shittu was a minister
- The report was submitted during Jonathan's administration but no action was taken on it
- 29 government agencies expected to be merged and 8 parastatals subsumed into 8 other agencies per the report
- Some fear job losses but Shittu says civil servants should not worry, mainly politicians will be affected
- Implementing the report aims to reduce duplication of services and cut governance costs, though some warn it could spark protests
