THE House of Representatives, on Wednesday, resolved to set up an ad hoc committee to “investigate duplication of duties, overlapping functions and counter-productivity of established agencies, departments, boards, parastatals and corporations in the country.”
Also, the committee is to establish “areas of mergers, synergies and justification of the existence of some established agencies, departments, boards, parastatals and corporations, which are no longer needed in the country,” and report back to the House within six weeks for further legislative action.
PUNCH had exclusively reported on October 24, 2021, that the Federal Government could save over N241bn if the Stephen Oronsaye report on public sector reforms was implemented.
I agree 👍
To reduce cost of governance, this is very important. I hope they review cost of governance for the Legislative and Executive Council if they are truly there to move the country to progress.
