The Federal Government has placed restrictions on overseas travels for all ministers.

According Information, Culture & Tourism Minister Lai Mohammed, ministers can only travel out of the country eight times in a year.

Besides, no minister on a trip outside the shores of the land should go with more than four aides, who should be relevant to the trip. Govt officials below the rank of ministers are henceforth entitled to fewer aides.
