Tinubu Dissolves Presidential Committee On FG Properties

News

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has approved the dissolution of the Presidential Implementation Committee (PIC) on the Alienation of Federal Government Properties.

Consequently, all matters relating to the Committee's functions shall henceforth be coordinated by the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN.

The Presidential Implementation Committee was established in 2000 during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to oversee the implementation of the Federal Government's monetisation policy relating to the privatisation, sale, and lease of Federal Government landed assets.

The Committee was chaired by the then Minister of Housing and comprised representatives of the Federal Ministries of Transportation, Justice, Health, and Agriculture, as well as the Nigeria Police Force. Professor P. T. Ahire, then a Deputy Director in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, served as its pioneer Secretary, while other members were drawn from both the public and private sectors.

On March 22, 2001, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved the establishment of a Panel of Inquiry to examine issues relating to the Committee's operations and produce a White Paper to guide the implementation of its recommendations. The Panel completed its assignment after 21 months and submitted its report to the Government.

Following a comprehensive review, the Federal Government observed that the activities of the Committee had extended beyond its original mandate, resulting in multiple litigations across the country. Government also determined that the continued existence of the Committee is no longer necessary.

Accordingly, President Tinubu has approved the dissolution of the Presidential Implementation Committee. The Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice will now coordinate all matters relating to the Committee's former responsibilities.

The erstwhile Secretary of the Committee, B. S. Dutsin-Ma, is hereby directed to cease acting on behalf of the dissolved Committee or the Federal Government in respect of all matters relating to its activities.
