See what president buhari said about ministerial convoys

All 36 ministers in President Buhari's cabinet will be
having their convoys and aides cut down. One of the
ministers-designate, Chris Ngige stated this while
speaking to newsmen at the end of the ministerial
retreat in Abuja yesterday November 6th
"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" he
said
Reacting to President Buhari's position that some
ministers will not be assigned portfolio's in his cabinet,
Ngige said
"If you have portfolio, if you don’t have portfolio,
it is one single federal executive council. You
bring whatever it is on the table. That is not a
problem at all. 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.”he
