A group, Southeast Professionals for Tinubu (SEPROT) has said it is awaiting implementation of the White Paper on Oronsaye report as regards merger of some federal agencies.
In a statement by Coordinator, Humphrey Nwodo, it alleged a plot by some to emasculate Projects Development Institute (PRODA), Enugu, on pretence of implementing the report.
The group noted that in the White Paper of 2014, the Goodluck Jonathan administration named agencies recommended for merger. He insisted the White Paper exempted PRODA from restructuring and rationalisation in the Ministry of Science and Technology. Nwodo noted the then Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Pius Anyim, wrote the ministry, thus: “The government accepts recommendation that: a) NASENI and NCAM be merged but with exclusion of FIIRO and PRODA.” He decried a report by some interests listing PRODA as one of the agencies to be merged or scrapped.
