President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the immediate dissolution of the Presidential Implementation Committee (PIC) on the Alienation of Federal Government Properties, directing that its responsibilities be transferred to the Attorney General of the Federation.

In a statement issued on Thursday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu said all matters previously handled by the committee will now be coordinated by the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi.

The directive takes effect from November 5, 2025.

According to the statement, the decision followed concerns that the activities of the committee had extended beyond its original mandate, resulting in multiple litigations across the country.

The President noted that the continued existence of the PIC is no longer justified under the current circumstances.

“Following the directive, the committee stands dissolved. The erstwhile Secretary, B. S. Dutsin-Ma, has been ordered to cease acting on behalf of the committee and the Federal Government on related matters,” the statement read.

The PIC was established in 2000 during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to oversee the privatisation, sale and lease of Federal Government landed assets under the monetisation policy.

Its membership comprised the then Minister of Housing as chairperson, alongside representatives from key ministries including Transportation, Justice, Health and Agriculture, as well as the Nigeria Police Force. Members were also drawn from both the public and private sectors.

Professor P.T. Ahire, then a Deputy Director in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, served as the pioneer secretary of the committee.

In March 2001, the Federal Executive Council approved the setting up of a Panel of Inquiry to produce a White Paper that would guide the implementation of the committee’s recommendations. The panel worked for 21 months before submitting its report.

However, over time, the committee’s operations reportedly deviated from its initial scope, prompting legal disputes and raising concerns about its continued relevance.

With the latest directive, the Attorney General’s office is now expected to oversee and streamline all pending and future matters related to the alienation of Federal Government properties.
