Nigeria Implements 3 Months Travel Ban on Government Officials | The Conversation

In a bold effort to curtail government spending, Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu declares a three-month prohibition on publicly funded international travel for ministers and officials, starting April 1st. This action coincides with increasing worries about extravagant spending on trips abroad.

The decision to impose the travel ban stems from President Tinubu's apprehensions regarding the burgeoning costs associated with official trips abroad. With mounting travel expenses becoming a growing concern, the move is aimed at curbing unnecessary expenditures and promoting fiscal responsibility within the government.
