    Revolutionizing Governance: Tinubu Grants Full Oversight to Ministers of State – Ravenewsonline

    Tinubu has granted full oversight responsibilities to Ministers of State over agencies under them amongst whom are Minister of State for Defence Dr. Matawalle, Water Resources and Sanitation, Minister of State for Agriculture and others will henceforth enjoy full oversight responsibilities over such agencies.

    President Bola Tinubu at FEC Meeting has approved that minister of state be given full powers to supervise the agencies under them, the cable reported.

    Until now, files pertaining to departments and agencies under their supervision were sent by their permanent secretaries to the senior ministers.

    With the new dispensation, ministers of state can now grant all necessary administrative approvals on the governance process of these agencies and departments.

    According to a source in the office of the head of service of the federation, “the president was not pleased with the prevailing governing framework in which ministers of states were just ministers in name”.

    This, Tinubu reportedly said, led to the “underutilisation of the expertise and capabilities” of most ministers of state.

    “The president believes ministers of state should have the right to make decisions and direct action within their areas of responsibility,” the official added.
