The decision follows public backlash over reports that nearly 590 individuals accompanied President Tinubu to the summit in Dubai in January. The government clarified that the funding was only distributed allocated for 422 individuals in the delegation.
President Tinubu has proactively cut government spending and implemented recommendations from the Orasanye report. In January, he also cut the size of his entourage for domestic and international trips, limiting it to 25 people for domestic trips and 20 people for foreign trips. Additionally, he opted for local security arrangements at his destinations rather than being accompanied by a large security detail from Abuja.
