Tinubu Dissolves Presidential Implementation Committee

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the immediate dissolution of the Presidential Implementation Committee (PIC) on the Alienation of Federal Government Properties, as announced in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy. The dissolution is effective November 5, 2025, with all matters previously handled by the PIC now to be coordinated by the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi.

The PIC was established in 2000 under former President Olusegun Obasanjo to oversee the privatisation, sale, and lease of Federal Government landed assets. Its membership included the then Minister of Housing as Chairperson and representatives from various ministries and sectors.

The committee's activities had reportedly extended beyond its original mandate, resulting in multiple litigations, which led to the conclusion that its continued existence was unjustified. Consequently, the erstwhile Secretary, B.

S. Dutsin-Ma, has been directed to cease acting on behalf of the committee.
