BREAKING: Tinubu Bars FGN fficials with no direct UNGA participation link from travelling to US

The directive which came from the President this afternoon is believed to be part of a broader effort to reduce the cost of governance in Nigeria, a statement by his media aide, Ajuri Ngelale noted.

It added that the directive is especially to those without proof of direct participation in UNGA’s official schedule of activities. The presidency also noted that to prevent any sharp practice in this regard, the U.S. Mission in Nigeria is accordingly guided on official visa processing while Nigeria’s Permanent Mission in New York is further directed to prevent and stop the accreditation of any government official who is not placed on the protocol lists forwarded by the approving authority.

“By this directive of the President, all Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies are mandated to ensure that all officials, who are approved for inclusion in the UNGA delegation, strictly limit the number of aides and associated staff partaking in the event. Where excesses or anomalies in this regard are identified, they will be removed during the final verification process.

“The President wishes to affirm that, henceforth, government officials and government expenditure must reflect the prudence and sacrifice being made by well-meaning Nigerians across the nation,” the statement added.
