The federal government has notified professional bodies and councils that it would stop funding them beginning from the 2024 budget in line with the decisions of the Presidential Committee on Salaries (PCS).
The Director-General, the Budget Office of the Federation (BoF), Ben Akabueze, conveyed the message through memos sent to the professional bodies. Some of the memos were addressed to the Registrar/CEO, Optometrist and Dispensing Optics Board as well as the Nigerian Council of Food Science and Technology (NiCFoST).
