The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has expressed support for President Bola Tinubu’s plan to implement the Oronsaye Report which recommended the merger and scrapping of some agencies of government to cut down the cost of governance. However, the association, which is the umbrella body of senior civil servants in public service in the country, cautioned the Federal Government to ensure that the implementation of the report does not result in job losses. The ASCSN, which is an affiliate of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), said there was a need to cut down the cost of governance, stressing that it had restated this over time. Addressing reporters yesterday in Abuja, ASCSN National President Tommy Okon said the union supports the implementation of the report.
