President Bola Tinubu has approved the immediate dissolution of the Presidential Implementation Committee (PIC) on the Alienation of Federal Government Properties.
In a statement on Thursday, Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga said all matters previously handled by the committee will henceforth be coordinated by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi.
The Presidency said the committee, established in 2000 to oversee the sale, lease and privatisation of Federal Government landed assets, had exceeded its original mandate, resulting in multiple litigations across the country.
Tinubu also directed the committee’s former Secretary, B.S. Dutsin-Ma, to immediately cease acting on behalf of the dissolved committee and the Federal Government on related matters.
