Tinubu Dissolves Government Boards, Agencies, and Companies

In a move that has grabbed attention, President Bola Tinubu has taken the decision to dissolve the boards of all Federal Government Parastatals, Agencies, Institutions, and Government-Owned Companies. This announcement, released on Monday evening, comes as part of the President's exercise of constitutional powers and for the benefit of the public.

It's important to note that this dissolution does not apply to Boards, Commissions, and Councils listed in the Third Schedule, Part 1, Section 153 (i) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended.

In light of this decision, the Chief Executive Officers of the affected entities have been directed to bring matters requiring board attention to the President through their respective supervisory Ministries and Offices, until new boards are constituted. Permanent Secretaries are responsible for routing such correspondence to the President through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

To ensure compliance, all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies are instructed to adhere to this directive, effective from Friday, June 16, 2023. Permanent Secretaries are specifically tasked with informing the Chief Executive Officers of the affected Agencies under their supervision for immediate compliance.

This significant development aims to bring about changes and new directions in these governmental entities, signaling President Tinubu's commitment to effective governance.
