President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the implementation of the report of the Presidential Committee on Restructuring and Rationalisation of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies.
The
President directed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
Senator Anyim Pius Anyim and the Head of Service of the Federation,
Alhaji Boni Aji, to constitute the committee to facilitate the implementation.
Information Minister,Labaran Maku said the President gave the order at the federal executive council meeting yesterday.
“You’d recall that the White Paper on the report of the Oronsaye report on the restructuring of agencies has already been publicised. The president said we’ll be moving ahead quickly in the implementation of the document because his administration is very serious in bringing down the cost of governance and ensuring more efficiency.
“He has therefore directed the SGF and the Head of Service to put up a committee for his approval to work on the merger of the agencies that have been marked for merger to cut cost and make them more effective,” the minister said.
In the White Paper, the government endorsed the recommendation of the merger of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET).
The three aviation parastatals will be fused into a new agency to be known as the Federal Civil Aviation Authority; while their respective enabling laws would be amended accordingly to reflect the merger.
