Buhari bans use of large convoys and retinue of aides by Ministers-designate

President Muhammadu Buhari has banned the use of large convoys and retinue of aides by the would-be Ministers, who will be inaugurated on Wednesday.

The directive on the ban by Buhari was made known by a minister-designate, Dr. Chris Ngige, who briefed State House correspondents at the end of a two-day retreat on Friday held for the 36 ministers-designate at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

''We will be running a lean economy because we are going to block areas of leakages. Retinue of aides, protocol staff and large convoys of cars are things that will not fly in this administration," Ngige said.
