FG moves to restructure MDAs

The Federal Government, on Tuesday, set up a 16-member committee to review the structure of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the aftermath of the recent merger of some key ministries.

The Acting Head of Service, Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita, inaugurated the committee in Abuja, stating that the action was critical to achieving the desired results.

According to her, it was appropriate to ensure seamless transition in operations of the affected ministries and agencies.

“In this regard, there is need to establish effective structures for the ministries including proper absorption of their existing personnel as well as ensuring that they get running without much delay.

“Accordingly, government has constituted this committee comprising knowledgeable retired and serving public officers to review the structure of the merged ministries.
