President Tinubu bans foreign travel by ministers and officials, reports say

The ban will take effect on April 1 and last for 90 days, local media reported, citing a presidential directive via a letter by his Chief of Staff they received.

In the letter, President Bola Tinubu expressed concern over the rising cost of foreign travel by government officials in the midst of Nigeria’s dire economic situation.

“Considering the current economic challenges and the need for responsible fiscal management, I am writing to communicate Mr President’s directive to place a temporary ban on all public funded international trips for all Federal Government officials at all levels, for an initial period of three months from 1st April 2024,” the letter said.

The temporary measure is aimed at reducing administrative costs and is designed to save money without compromising government functions, the letter added.
