President-elect, Bola Tinubu takes tough decisions when he assumes duty, may merge govt agencies



Some of the decisions he is likely to take include the implementation of the Stephen Oronsaye panel’s report on the reform of the civil service and the removal of the controversial fuel subsidy, which has become a drain on resources, job cuts, introduction of higher taxes, privatisation of public corporations and the sale of some government assets.

Tinubu had been impressing on his loyalists the need to take certain decisions that might be considered unpleasant in the short run, but pay off for the nation later.


Before the February 25, 2023 presidential election, Tinubu, who was then the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, had vowed to remove the fuel subsidy if was elected as it had constituted a huge drain on the government’s revenue.

According to a highly highly placed source told correspondents on Saturday that the incoming President would merge some ministries and agencies of the Federal Government as recommended by the Oronsaye panel and would take tough decisions on other issues going by meetings that had been held by Tinubu and his core loyalists.

It also was gathered that Tinubu had been meeting with some of his trusted aides on steps to reposition the country of which one of them was to take a critical look at the Oronsaye report.

The source also said “”His meetings with trusted allies and those who are familiar with the economy will bring out the best for the country. He is not a novice in managing people and resources.

“So, I can conveniently tell you that some ministries are going to be merged. Nigeria should expect tough but meaningful decisions from the President-elect.” Source added.

I would have said that's my president but the mandate was stolen

Above all jokes and cruise, may we all find love where it's peaceful and permanent and if you already found love, it should last forever. amen.

Whatever that is needed to get this old rickety jalopy of nation moving forward is all we need.

Let's do away with tribal and religious sentiments aside while we embrace competence and innovative mind-sets

I come in peace

You want to sack people?

That is exactly how PMB started when he said in the short run the policy may hurt. In the long run how did it turn out, it continued to hurt, to this very moment.

After making all these bold steps, if you don't remove corruption, you will only just be wasting your time.

Nothing will change, instead things will turn from bad to worse

You can only claim your thing was stolen if you had that thing in the first place. After the elections, the winner was declared and given the certificate of return as proof of the mandate. The mandate that was given to the rightful owner and anybody laying claims to it is actually the thief.

Merging of our agencies and prastatals is inevitable

I agree with you. There is no stolen mandate when there was no owner of mandate except Tinubu. Others are the ones trying to steal his mandate.
