I am not against shutting down some government agency as stated by orji kalu, but I also support reducing the number of senators let each region present three persons by so doing we will have 18 senators instead of 109

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.

In the times of Fulani herdsmen and highway kidnappers, HELL FARKING NO!!!

Seriously most Nairalanders should stop acting dumb. These days Nairaland is full of so many dumb people who can't comment intelligently they just reduce your IQ with there comments.

A lot of Nigerian agencies are not working anything they are just there in name, people just to there collect salary and do nothing, this is a total waste of funds, some of these agencies are repeating Jobs, because of that they are not functioning effectively.

Nobody should take the Senate serious. Any new bill or amendment they pass will always result in a new agency or commission.

The same is going in Lagos state, most of the new agencies' work can be carried out using few desks under a ministry. For example, Safety Commission, the commission supervising communication masts...

It is by design. Any legislator that brings a commission into being gets slots for staffs and other things like that.

Orji uzor Kalu is making sense on this one. Some of the so called parastatal are just to settle some political jobers

Some time when I see funny names of some of this govt agency I just pity the country, because some of this agency are not adding any value to the country, they do nothing in their various offices some of the staff cannot define their work, they won't able to specifically tell what value they are adding to the country except collecting salary

This is what happen when a country has refused to developed, create an enable environment for industries to thrive

When there's no job people settled for govt job as a way of partaking in sharing of the national cake

Let a minister pay a surprise visit to some of this agency offices and the minister will be shocked at what await him/her

Small government should start with amalgamating some of the states and constituencies, join some local government, reduce the salary and the allowances of the politicians and then close down or combine most of the parastatals, as a matter of fact, how useful are they?

In fact, can't we adopt merger & acquisition package? There some States in Nigeria that are not economically viable. They only depends on federal allocation, no meaningful internal generated revenue.

We have too much states for a country that size and with leaders that are of fish brain, a state that has nothing to offer should be absorbed by nearby states that can assist , , , , , Enough of creating states just for politics

this is what happens when citizens keep screaming the government has refused to employ.
more irrelevant parastatal would be created, duplication of service would come to fore.

Federal parastatals in Nigeria is less than 1000.
Closing some of them needs adequate reasons.

Smart man. Some of these parastatals needs to be closed indeed. Govt over spends to keep them running. We need a smaller Government and bigger enterprises like Sen. Orji said. U.S is an example not too many parastatals some are even initiated with time limits.
