Gbajabiamila said, “In any country in the world, resources are limited. For us it is about prioritising. Where are we so far? What have the agencies done?
“How have they measured up to their mandates and how important are their mandates in terms of the vision of this administration and the Renewed Hope Agenda?
“A lot of agencies are not properly funded. Do we merge some of these agencies, do we scrap some? I’m not talking about the State House agencies.
“In 2025 we are not going to budget in a vacuum. We will budget based on needs assessment.”
Earlier, in separate interactions with heads and staff of the agencies, the Chief of Staff pledged that the Presidency would ensure better welfare and working conditions for staff within the agencies under the supervision of the State House.
