The Federal Government has inaugurated a White Paper committee to review parastatals, agencies, commissions created since 2014.

The government had in November 2021, inaugurated two sub-committees on the implementation of the whitepaper on the restructuring of ministries, departments and agencies to reduce the cost of governance, chaired by former Heads of Service of the Federation, Alhaji Bukar Aji, Amal Pepple and Oladapo Afolabi.

The second committee was to review new parastatals, agencies and commissions created after the submission of the report on restructuring.

Speaking at the short ceremony on Friday in Abuja, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, said the committee headed by the former Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Ebele Okeke, has six weeks to submit report so the process of implementation can begin after approval by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
