President Bola Tinubu has restricted ministers, and heads of departments and agencies to a maximum of three vehicles in their official convoys as part of the cost-cutting measures of his administration.

Tinubu also ordered all ministers, ministers of state, and heads of agencies to have at most five security personnel attached to them.
“No additional vehicles will be assigned to them for movement.
“The security team will comprise four police officers and one Department of State Services (DSS) officer.
