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 .

President Muhammadu Buhari has warned truck drivers to stay away from roadside parking on Federal highways and establish private parking lots to avoid congestion and ease vehicular mobility across the country.
The President gave the warning at a public enlightenment forum, organized by the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing (FMPWH), on Monday in Abuja.
The event was organized by the ministry to orientate the public and other stakeholders on recent developments in the road sector such as weigh bridges, road signage and return of the toll gates among others.
Buhari said this became imperative to ensure huge investments in the road sector; especially capital projects raised from 15 per cent to 30 per cent achieve desired impacts as well as prevent overloading of heavy duty vehicles.
He acknowledged the importance of good roads to achieving the economic recovery growth plan.

Mr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, the senator representing Kano central was not part of a secret meeting allegedly convened by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on 2019 general elections, contrary to reports in some newspapers over the weekend, associates of the lawmaker have said.
A senior Advocate of Nigeria and co-chair of Nigeria Intervention Movement (NIM), Mr. Olisa Agbakoba, had said Kwankwaso and some politicians were present at the meeting with Obasanjo held at Protea Hotel, Ikeja GRA, Lagos.
Daily Post had quoted Mr. Agbakoba as sayng: “I can confirm that Kwankwaso was there and Oyinlola was there, but for us, our concern is that Nigerians need to see a new political plan and we told them in clear terms that if we are to work together, it would present a challenge if the Nigerian voting population see the same old people and then there would be no change. So, that’s where we are”.Kano State Governor and APC opposition leader Rabiu Kwankwaso promises"Malawi treatment"for President Goodluck jonathan
But Hajiya Binta Rabi’u Spikin, said there was no such meeting between Mr. Kwankaso and the former president.
“Senator Kwankwaso never met with Obasanjo in Lagos state as speculated. Senator Kwankwaso was in Kaduna having series of meetings with various stakeholders of Kwankwasiyya-led faction of the APC. The story that went viral on social media was false, unfounded and uncalled-for.
“People are clamouring for the ‘real change’ hence they were eager to know where the national leader of Kwankwasiyya, Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso focuses his political attention, so they could follow him.

The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to rescind his decision on the Peace Corps of Nigeria (PCN) establishment and sign the bill into law.
The NYCN in collaboration with aoalition of non governmental organisations, civil society irganisations and various youths groups told journalists over the weekend in Minna that the action of President Buhari had dashed the hopes and aspirations of millions of youths.
The Niger state Chairman of NYCN, Comrade Jibrin Abdullahi Muregi made the appeal at a news conference at the weekend urging President Buhari to consider the advantages, benefits and gains that the establishment of PCN will bring to Nigeria.
According to Muregi, “a country that fails to engage its youths productively is a nation sitting on a keg of gunpowder.
“The youths were anxiously waiting for the opportunity to contribute to nation building through the provision of peace related services and to ensure security, law and orderliness in the nation when President Buhari’s action dashed their hopes”,he added.
He stated further, “We hereby call on Mr. President to assent to the PCN bill. The youths stood by him, he should stand for the youths; he should listen to the voices of the youths because the youths listened to him. We are the future, youths exclusion is injustice.

The also collect money from Chairing a committee, each senator is the chairman of one committee but the bigger the ministry or parastatal, the more money they receive. They collect money for Oversight function and are also entitled to Brand new vehicles of about 12-15m every four years. What of Budget padding that has been going on since forever.

Ekeremadu is a deputy Senate president running into 7 years now so his own package is more juicy than the rest of the senators except the Senate President.

Senators yesterday justified their N14.2 million monthly package, saying the money is used to cater for their numerous expenses.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu (APC, Lagos Central) yesterday defended the N14.2 million pay package received monthly by Nigerian senators during the 25th town hall she organised in Lagos tagged, “Gender Equity and the Right To Economic Freedom.”
LEADERSHIP Weekend recalls that Senator Shehu Sani (APC, Kaduna Central) had revealed in a recent interview that he and his colleagues pocketed N13.5 million monthly as running cost in addition to their N750,000 official monthly salary, bringing the total package to N14.2 million.
Speaking on the issue, Senator Tinubu said the money takes care of the lawmakers’ numerous running costs.
“Out of this money, we pay house rent, constituency office bills, transportation. And apart from these, everything is monetised. The House only provides one car for each senator,”
“Does a minister or commissioner have one car?
“People make a lot of noise when there is nothing. I have been consistent with the town hall meetings and all the money I have been spending, including empowering people, is from this money,” she explained.
When asked about the huge pay package for federal lawmakers, Tinubu’s counterpart in the House of Representatives, Hon. Olajide Jimoh (APC, Lagos Mainland federal constituency) denied collecting such.
He said, “I am not collecting jumbo pay. My salary is legal and also embedded in the budget.”
A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator from the north central zone who does not want to be quoted said: “There is no official or formal reaction yet to Senator Shehu Sani’s disclosure that senators take home N13.5million, beside the N750,000 official salary monthly and that they are entitled to N200 million constituency project allowance yearly.
“If there should be any reaction, a senator should have moved a motion on it, subjected it to debate before a resolution is made.
