21.03.224 💥BREAKING: President Tinubu has announced a temporary suspension on all public funded foreign trips for ministers, heads of agencies, and other government officials starting from April 1st, 2024, lasting for three months.
President Tinubu emphasized the requirement for government officials planning to undertake any publicly funded international trips to first obtain presidential approval at least two weeks in advance. Such trips must be considered as essential in order to proceed.
Opinion: Great initiative, but there is a way public officials work around it.
They pad contracts and get the contractors to fund these trips.
Serious scrutiny has to be on all public contracts.
