Edun gave the charge today in his office in Abuja when he met with the relevant stakeholders on BISONFLY PROJECT INITIATIVE.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary Special Duties, Mr. Raymond Omenka Omachi, the Minister highlighted the project’s potential to significantly reduce the overhead cost of official air travel across the Federal Civil Service, with an estimated annual savings of N18-24 billion through discounted air fares. This aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda, Fiscal Policy, and Tax Reforms of the present administration, promoting cost optimization.
The Minister noted, Project BisonFly directly supports our commitment to prudent financial management. By coordinating travel and securing discounted rates, we are using the government’s collective bargaining power to cut expenditure and improve service delivery, just as global institutions like the World Bank have done successfully.”
According to a statement signed by Mohammed Manga FCAI, Director, Information and Public Relations, the successful implementation of the BisonFly Project will have a lasting impact on the Federal Civil Service, promoting a culture of transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility. It will also contribute to the country’s economic growth, job creation, and improved productivity in the public sector, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of Nigerians
The Federal Government called on the team charged for ensuring the speedy implementation of BISONFLY PROJECT to ensure the full realization of the project’s objectives, underscoring the urgency and significance of delivering on its mandate.
