A former Presidential aspirant under the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP), Alhaji Muhammadu Umaru Maizabura has called on the Federal government to make the job of the members of the National Assembly less attractively, so as to reduce the cost of governance by making it part time job
Alhaji Muhammadu Maizabura who is also the National Chairman of National Democratic Liberty Party (NDLP) stated this on Tuesday in Maiduguri while reacting to the recent revealation of Senator Shehu Sani that each senator is earning N13.5 million in addition to N750,000 monthly.
He said: “the job of the National Assembly members should be made part time basis by paying them sitting allowance and not salaries, thereby saving huge amount of money to be redirected to agricultural sector, more especially rice production with a view to enable the nation feed itself and also diversified our economy through exportation”.
Maizabura noted that the cost of running the National Assembly is too much, hence he advocated for the reduction in number of the members of the senate to 50, while the House of Representative should be reduce to 150 members to save cost of governance, as the large chunk of the nation’s budget are spent on the senators and House members to the detriment of the civil servants and the masses .
