Now, here is what I think Nigeria needs to really do now as a matter of urgency. Reports coming in from Senegal says the country is in the process of getting rid of its Senate.

Senegalese lawmakers, who are divided between a 150-seat national assembly and a 100-seat senate, voted to do away with the senate, passing a law which dissolves the institution in order to save an estimated $15 million.

Minister of Justice Aminata Toure explained that the suppression Tuesday of the senate is intended to curb government spending, and will provide the cash needed to help the victims of the yearly rains which have left thousands homeless and killed at least 13 people.

Unlike the national assembly, the senate is a relatively recent institution, and has become a symbol of government waste. It's been frequently pilloried and described as an instrument of cronyism, a way to reward loyal party workers who did not get elected to the larger national assembly. Around half the senators are directly appointed by the president.

Congress also voted to abolish the office of vice president, establish in 2009 by then-President Abdoulaye Wade, the BBC reports. It has not ever been occupied.

How i wish this can happen in nigeria

We don't need to abolish d Senate ,they just need to cut their outrageous salaries and allowances

Yes wise people always takes wise decition. We need same here.

The Senate should retained and made to be financially prudent, it is the House of Rep. with its over 300 seats l can not relate to.

I love that country

Nonsense initiative manipulated by the President and his cabinet.

If they want to reduce cost of governance, why not simply vote to adopt parliamentary system of government?
