Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State said issue of long convoys by governors was tabled at the last National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.
The meeting, which held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, was chaired by Vice-President Kashim Shettima.
Addressing State House Correspondents after the meeting, the governor said the meeting also encouraged government officials to cut-back on the cost of governance in their various spheres.
“That we mustn’t live, even the cost of running the state, the way we even live, someone gave an example of a state governor going with 20-something vehicles in a convoy and all these have to be fuelled, and so on and so forth.
“Hey gentlemen, we would need to be sensitive to the times; we need to live within the average of the people that we’re governing, and so on and so forth, and knock off the waste and the irrelevancies, so to speak.”
