Tinubu prohibits ministers, agency leaders, and other federal government officials from undertaking international travel.

Effective April 1, 2024, a three-month moratorium on all international travel funded by the government has been instituted for ministers, heads of agencies, and other officials within the federal government. This policy, detailed in a March 12, 2024 letter from the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, aims to address the surging expenses related to travel and mandates officials to prioritize their duties for enhanced service delivery amidst economic constraints. The measure is introduced as part of a broader strategy for fiscal responsibility, requiring that any government official needing to undertake necessary foreign travel on public funds must secure presidential consent at least two weeks before their departure, highlighting a focused effort to minimize governance costs while ensuring the effectiveness of government functions.
