President Bola Tinubu has banned ministers, heads of agencies, and other government officials from embarking on public funded foreign trips.
This was contained in a letter dated March 12, 2024, and signed by the Chief of Staff to the president, Femi Gbajabiamila; and addressed to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
The ban will last for three months in the first instance and will take effect on April 1, 2024.
Tinubu had earlier this year issued an order to reduce the number of people accompanying him on both local and foreign trips.
He noted that his delegation members on foreign trip should not exceed 25 for local travels and 20 for international trip
He also mandated that security agents at his destination should provide his protection instead of being accompanied by many security personnel from Abuja.
