President Tinubu Scraps 25-Year-Old Federal Properties Committee

President Bola Tinubu has approved the immediate dissolution of the Presidential Implementation Committee on the Alienation of Federal Government Properties.

The Presidency says all the committee's responsibilities have now been transferred to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi.

According to the President's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the directive takes effect from November 5, 2025, while the committee's Secretary, B. S. Dutsin-Ma, has been ordered to stop acting on behalf of the committee and the Federal Government.

The committee was established about 25 years ago under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

 The Presidency says the decision followed a review which found that the committee had gone beyond its original mandate, leading to several court cases across the country.
