President Muhammadu Buhari has taken a critical step towards cutting the cost of governance with the establishment of the Efficiency Unit, E-UNIT, which will vet all major expenditures of Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.

The E-UNIT which is to be domiciled in the Federal Ministry of Finance is headed by a Project Leader, Ms Patience Oniha.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, who announced this in Abuja, yesterday, explained that the E-UNIT was in line with the current administration’s resolve to institutionalize reform policies that would ensure effective management of the nation’s economy.

She identified reducing the cost of governance as a major peg upon which President Buhari’s economic policies would stand.
