The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, has disclosed that the implementation of the 12-year-old Steve Oronsaye report will not lead to the retrenchment of workers.
He stated that the essence of the implementation was not to retrench workers but to maximize the agencies’ effectiveness and efficiency and reduce costs.
Idris disclosed this during his remarks at the Ministerial Press Briefing on Wednesday in Abuja.
You would recall that the Federal Executive on Monday approved the implementation of the recommendations of the Oronsaye panel on the restructuring and rationalization of the Federal Government’s agencies and commissions.
The government said the implementation of the policy would involve the merging, subsuming, and scrapping of agencies with similar functions.
