Oronsaye Report: Lawmaker Commends President Tinubu, Urges Similar Action On 2014 Confab Report

The Chairman Public Accounts Committee of the House of Representatives, Rep. Bamidele Salam has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his courage and patriotism in addressing a significant issue plaguing public finance and called for similar action on the 2014 Confab Report.

The commendation came in the wake of President Tinubu’s decisive actions aimed at tackling one of the major drains on public funds.

The lawmaker made the call after the Federal Executive Council decision on 26th February 2024 for the full implementation of Steve Oronsaye’s panel report to reduce the cost of governance, restructuring, and rationalisation of federal agencies, parastatals, and commissions.

He emphasized the importance of similar action being taken regarding the 2014 National Conference report.

He urged his fellow legislators to support any bill and measures that will be presented by the president in the course of carrying out the full implementation of the Orosanye report.
