No Large Aides, Long Convoys For Ministers – Chris Ngige

Former governor of Anambra State and a minister-desig­nate, Senator Chris Ngige, said ministers would not operate with huge reti­nue of aides and large con­voys of vehicles as a result of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s re­solve to run a lean economy .

Speaking with State House correspondents at the end of a two-day presidential retreat organised for ministers-designate , he said . . .

“Yes, we shall operate a lean economy because we are going to block areas of leakages, retinue of aides, protocol staff, large convoys of cars are things that will not fly in this administration,”

“We have the right to discuss things around the ministries because it is one single cabinet. The important thing is that we want to move our people from where they are now – they are in abject poverty, which concerns about 75 percent of the populace.

“So, we need to actually restructure the political and social moment of the country and that is what we are going to do. That means poverty will reduce.”
