Recession: FG orders Directors in Ministries, others to henceforth fly only economy class
Following the current economic recession, the Federal government has
ordered all director generals in the various Ministries and Managing
Directors of Federal parastatals to henceforth fly only economy class
for any of their local or international engagements. A circular sent out
on November 2nd to all the Ministries and parastatals reads
“In view of the ensuing budgetary and fiscal challenges faced by the
Federal Government arising from low oil revenue, it has become necessary
to review the Guidelines for Local and International Travels as
provided for in Circular Ref. No. SGF. 6/S.2/X/545 of 31st March, 2016
with a view to further prune recurrent expenses on travels and tours.
Accordingly, Government has decided that all Civil and Public Servants
in the rank of Directors and below in Federal Ministries, Departments
and Agencies as well as Chief Executive Officers (Managing Directors,
Executive Secretaries, Directors-General, etc) of Federal Government
Parastatals, Agencies and Institutions are henceforth to travel on
Economy Class for both Local and International travels. Similarly, all
non-executive Chairmen and members of Federal Government Boards of
Parastatals are henceforth to travel Economy Class".
