Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his directive to execute the Steve Oronsaye report.

President Tinubu’s recent order to fully implement the findings of the Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions, and Agencies signifies a strategic move towards streamlining governmental operations by consolidating certain agencies and discontinuing others.

Expressing his approval via an official statement on Wednesday, Peter Obi acknowledged the importance of implementing the Oronsaye report while emphasizing the need for broader cost-cutting measures across all levels of government. He urged for a redirection of resources towards critical sectors like education and healthcare to uplift Nigerians from poverty.

While advocating for prudent governance, Obi underscored the significance of political leaders making sacrifices and prioritizing national development over personal interests. However, he cautioned against hastily executing the report without thorough consideration of its implications, particularly its impact on civil servants.

Obi emphasized the necessity for a comprehensive understanding of federal bureaucracy to ensure the effective implementation of the report. He also called for transparency regarding the savings generated from the downsizing of government agencies and urged for a clear plan on how these resources would be reinvested for the nation’s benefit.

As Nigeria navigates this critical juncture in its governance structure, the sentiments expressed by Peter Obi highlight the importance of strategic decision-making and accountability in fostering sustainable development.
