House of Representatives Special Ad-hoc Committee on Restructuring of Government Agencies and Commissions has commenced the review of the Oronsaye report.
The panel would also review all other White Papers on the restructuring of federal government agencies, parastatals, and commissions.
Its Chairman, Rt Hon Ibrahim Isiaka, made this known to reporters in a briefing at the National Assembly on Tuesday.
He said it is imperative to revisit the recommendations of the Oronsaye report and other pertinent White Papers.
This, he said, is to ensure that they are aligning government structures with current realities, best practices, and the changing needs of our society.
He pointed out that the Oronsaye report, which was published in 2012, highlighted various recommendations aimed at rationalizing and optimizing the operations of government agencies to enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Hon Isiaka said they were now taking Memoranda from all concerned Ministries, Departments, Agencies, Commissions, and Parastatals of Government at all levels, that will enable their service delivery to the nation.
He invited all the critical stakeholders to a one-day Public Hearing on this same subject matter on 10th July 2024 at 10 am.
According to him, “The world is evolving rapidly, and it is crucial that our government agencies and commissions are structured in a way that enables them to deliver on their mandates effectively and efficiently.
“Through this review process, we aim to identify redundancies, duplications, inefficiencies, and areas of improvement within the federal government agencies and commissions. Our goal is to apply the legislative approach in streamlining operations, eliminate duplication of functions, enhance service delivery, and optimize resource allocation. This review will be comprehensive and thorough, taking into cognizance the diverse perspectives and expertise available to us.
“We acknowledge the importance of stakeholder engagement in this process, and we will be seeking input from various stakeholders, including government officials, experts, civil society organizations, and the general public. Transparency, accountability, and inclusivity will be the guiding principles of our review process.
“In conclusion, the Special Ad-Hoc Committee on the restructuring of federal government agencies and commissions is committed to fostering a more efficient, effective, and responsive government that meets the needs of the Nigerian people.”
