Senator Orji Kalu, representing Abia North at the National Assembly, has called for the closure of some government parastatals, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV reports that Mr. Kalu, a former governor of Abia State, made the call on Thursday during plenary.

He said the shutdown was necessary because of the proliferation of parastatals.

According to Kalu, Nigeria has over 1,000 parastatals and more are still being created.

“This Senate should focus on security and agriculture. We need to pay attention to small scale industry. This Senate should shut down some parastatals,” he said.

“We have over 1,000 parastatals and we are creating more. We should have small government and big enterprise so we can be able to move forward.”

We should also close some checkpoints and return the army to the barracks. There are more thieves in private homes than those on the roads.

Ftc

This man sabi lie well 1,000 parastatals and there are some vitals issues that he suppose to raise in the house but reverse is the case

The same reason why we should close down the senate and leave the legislative functions to the House of Representatives alone.

He should at least give us the names of parastatals that should be closed down

This man should rather start by charging his colleagues @ the senate to advocate for a uni-cameral legislative NASS.

Okay

More energy should be channeled to: Security, Power and Road.

Idiots in power. Yes get rid of them to create more unemployment. So you can save more allocations for yourselves to embezzle in the senate.

Please we need to close the senate too

Unicameral legislature in my mind

Senate Chief Whip for real Orji uzor kalu, this is the highest mediocrity government, from the President down to the councillor. no wonder Nigeria is like this.

The boys won't be happy with what you're saying Sir.

Truth be told.

There are so many redundant workers, but still files and bureaucracy causes bottleneck everywhere.

Reduce government expenditures from the peak.

Do you mean, something like, ministry of happiness?

Sounds good

Abeg which bill our Senate don ever pass weh the masses feel ....


THE SENATE SHOULD BE scrapped

Wise suggestion from a good fellow.

Yes....

We should also advocate a unicameral system of legislature and find a way to cut wastage at that level.

SLOKman.

He should at least give us the names of parastatals that should be closed down

Self-serving individuals




So those in those parastatals should go home
