It is also by this that the government has resolved to undertake an inventory of government buildings, both residential and office accommodations across the country, the report added.
The Committee will be mandated to check the integrity of records of government buildings, offices, and residential accommodation; determine the functionality of Government buildings, offices, and accommodation; compile data on properties occupied by retired public servants who continue to live in official bungalows and, or bequeathed those properties to relations; compile data on properties that have either been converted to other uses, or sold outright, among others.
Also, the Committee will be expected to liaise with the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) for the conduct of physical inventory of all government buildings, offices, and residential accommodations across the country, to attest to the physical existence of such properties.
