The cost-cutting measure was announced today in a statement signed by the President and issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy.

In January this year, President Tinubu took significant steps to reduce government expenditure by reducing his entourage on foreign trips from 50 to 20 officials. For local trips, he reduced it to 25 officials.

He similarly reduced the Vice President’s entourage to five officials on foreign trips and 15 for local trips.

The security team will comprise four police officers and one Department of State Services (DSS) officer.
