President Bola Tinubu has slashed both international and local travel expenditure of all government officials by 60 percent.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this to State House Correspondents on Tuesday, January 9, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to him, the directive was issued as a cost-cutting measure on official travels and it will also affect the offices of the President, Vice President, First Lady, and ministers.

“President Tinubu has directed that all state entourages be drastically reduced. This is not a request. It is a directive. The office of the president and staff will be affected.

Vice President, appointees are affected. VP, appointees are affected. By this directive, there will be a slashing of expenditure on official travel by 60 per cent,” he said.
