Govt Merges EFCC, ICPC; Scraps BPE, NAPEP, Six Other Agencies by masterdre: 6:03am On Jul 02, 2013 |
The Nigerian government appears set to scrap at least eight federal agencies, commissions, and parastatals out of about 220 recommended for abolition in the report of the Stephen Oronsaye-led Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt. http://premiumtimesng.com/news/140067-govt-merges-efcc-icpc-scraps-bpe-napep-six-other-agencies.html |

Good move in theory. Merging the EFCC and ICPC, on paper, should improve efficiency and reduce bureaucracy. Scrapping superfluous and moribund agencies obviously reduces government expenditure. On the face of it, this appears a good and commendable move by the Government. 8 Likes |

masterdre: The agencies to be scrapped completely include the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE); Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC);Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC); National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC); National Poverty Eradication programme (NAPEP); Utilities Charges Commission (UCC); the National Economic Intelligence Committee (NEIC) and the Public Complaints Commission (PCC). A step in the right direction if you ask me, most of the affected agencies bear no relevance in the present day Nigeria. One can only hope the step will bring about efficiency, reduce cost of government, curb leakages and wastages and make government more effective in delivering quality service to Nigerians. Merging of EFCC and ICPC is long over due ... 2 Likes |

Goodness! I've not heard of some of this govt agencies before. It sure high time they're all scrapped! Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE); Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC); Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC); National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC); National Poverty Eradication programme (NAPEP); Utilities Charges Commission (UCC); the National Economic Intelligence Committee (NEIC) and the Public Complaints Commission (PCC). Other agencies like National Sports Commission (NSC) & National Institute for Sports (NIS); should be merged while the most surprising of all, Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), should be scrapped. This NDPHC makes one wonder what the millions being pumped into NDDC & NIPP is supposed to be for when its not that the Niger delta folks generate power seperately on their own. Overall, its such a great idea from the GEJ led admin. Believe me, call GEJ dumb as you may but he's got a mini blueprint that may lead to a better nation if he sets his PRIORITIES right and our blood sucking general and his BH boys will make Nigeria governable. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Scrapping agencies as much as it is great idea leads me to question the govt on what they intend doing with the staffs on the payroll of such agencies. Will they become jobless or will they be distributed to other agencies that are already overloaded and hence make them not have any work doing in their new workplace save earning their mega pay? ?? |

[color=#000099]Let's look at it from 2 angles. From one end- it is a very good move.It will save Nigeria unnecessary duplication of agencies which has d attendant effect of huge financial burdens.Thus, it direcly implies that there will be more money in our coffers. From the other end- Since the move directly implies that there'll be more money for govt to spend on other things...What will happen when there is more money in an eternally corrupt environment like ours ? D answer is- It means more money will go into private pockets!!! All what GEJ has done is to scratch the surface of the problem! D real problem is corruption - and corruption cannot be tackled by merely having fewer agencies and parastatals! And if indeed he wants to cut off unnecessary expenditure, he needs to lead by example! D President has MINISTERS,MINISTERS OF STATE, SENIOR SPECIAL ADVICERS,SPECIAL ADVICERS,SENIOR SPECIAL ASSISTANTS,SPECIAL ASSISTANTS,ASSISTANTS and a retinue of aides...and all these assistants and advisers have assistants and advisers too!!! If the President has not looked into all these, then there's no transformation anywhere!!! I will be the first to commend GEJ d moment he starts fighting corruption! For now, there is nothing to cheer about. Under him, EFCC is now a toothless bulldog. Corruption has grown so hi tech that it has never been this fashionable to be corrupt...Albeit many People say OBJ used EFCC to witchhunt political opponents..but at least, d people that were disgraced were indeed corrupt! Also, Yar'Adua wanted to be known as 'Mr.Transparent' ...he holds the record of the first President to publicly declare his assets...WHAT CAN WE SAY ABOUT GEJ? Nothing!!! Infact, he openly wines and dines with convicted thieves - Alamieseigha, Bode George etc [/color] 11 Likes |

Truth be told, GEJ's administration is the most purposeful and visionary administration we've had. Cutting down on unnecessary government expenditure is a very good move; more resources will be available to execute infrastructural projects. This guy seems to still keep his head cool even with the plethora of negative criticism flying here and there. Hmmmm, seems he's no longer the Retardeen, Jonathan, Otuoke drunken fisherman etc as some people will have me believe 14 Likes |

If you think this is in the right direction then you are totally wrong because it won't translate to anything for average Nigerian, it will only create more loot for the government. |

Its a good move provided the recommendations are faithfully implemented as they are designed to cut waste and block leakages in the system as well as reduce bureaucracy. We know that most of these agencies perform overlapping functions as many were mere duplication. The problem now is, how government will address the attendant negative consequence which is job loss. There is no way government will streamline these agencies without downsizing! Why not also do a pay cut for our fat cow, unproductive political class and not just push more civil servants to join the colony of unemployed Nigerians. Of what good is reducing the cost of governance only for the thieving political elite to fritter away the money saved? 7 Likes |
