Many agencies will be scrapped and many others will be merged, to pave way to a leaner government.

President Goodluck Jonathan established the Presidential Committee on Restructuring and Rationalization of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions, and Agencies, chaired by Mr. Steve Oronsaye.

Coming from the business sector, Oronsaye moved into the civil service at a senior level, eventually rising to the position of Head of the Federation's Civil Service.

The Oronsaye study, submitted in 2012, identified 541 federal government parastatals, commissions, and organizations, both statutory and non-statutory.

The 800-page report advocated reducing the number of statutory entities from 263 to 161, eliminating 38, combining 52, and restoring 14 to departments in separate ministries.

A previous investigation by Platinum Times Nigeria found that the Nigerian government has the potential to save more than N241bn if the recommendations are put into action.

Below is a list of some of the agencies that may be scrapped if the Oronsaye report is fully implemented as ordered by President Tinubu:

One of the key suggestions in the report is the consolidation of the Code of Conduct Bureau, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, and Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission into a single agency.

Additionally, the report recommended the elimination of the Fiscal Responsibility Commission and the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission, with their responsibilities being incorporated into the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission.

The Salaries and Wages Income Commission is likely to face a similar fate..
