Cut All The Expenses Of Every Aspect Of The Government By 60% – Obi Tells FG by DamnnNiggarr(op): 10:34pm On Jan 10, 2024

The 60% Cut in federal official Entourages

The just announced 60% cut in the size of federal official entourages on travels is one positive step towards the reduction of cost of governance and a way of halting wastage. But this measure is just scratching the surface as It is limited in scope and can only lead to a very negligible saving. We are yet to be told how much savings this will amount to.

While this modest step may be somewhat commendable, what is desirable should be both a 60% reduction in federal official overseas trips as well as a 60% reduction in the size of delegations. Most importantly, what our current economic reality demands is a 60% reduction in the total cost of governance at the Federal level.

This implies that the recently passed federal budget needs to be revised to cut all wasteful and unnecessary items. This is the level of cost-cutting and savings that can meaningfully impact the present state of the economy. This level of cut in the cost of government should lead to substantial savings.

Such savings should be used to fund the productive sectors of the economy and the much-needed social investments, especially in three key areas: education, healthcare, and the migration of millions of Nigerians from poverty.

Most importantly, it is not enough to announce arbitrary cuts in the size of federal official entourages. The nation needs to be informed of how much the measure will save and where such savings will be applied.

Our problem as a nation has gone beyond token populist gestures and announcements. We must be informed of the real details of the measures being implemented on our behalf. For a government that has made a hobby of indiscriminate borrowing, the only way to salvage the economy is to drastically cut the cost of government by reducing wasteful expenses and spending on inessential luxury items. -PO

He should keep giving his Iame advice he didn't implement to build a great society as governor.

Just like he did in Anambra

With these comments of yours, I'm now compelled to believe, beyond every reasonable doubt, that You guys certainly do not know
who Peter Obi really is.

Where did you guys think that the very popular mantra "Peter Obi is a stingy man" came from?

I've known Peter Obi for more than a decade and I can unequivocally tell y'all that, naturally, Peter Obi hates spending without reason, in short, he despises it, he hates useless and unwarranted expenditure just as a dog hates goat shit.

That's also the reason why he was able to leave office without any debt for his successor and also was able to leave over #70 billion Naira in Anambra State account.

95% will be better.

60% is too small.

Well, if Tinubu tries to implement this to every aspect of his government, corruption will be in the rise as many directors and permsecs as well as mininsters and commisssioners will try to steal more for their retirement.

You make an excellent point, moving forwards, I expect Peter Obi to preface all his unsolicited for advice to Presidenclt Tinubu with "Like I did during my tenure as governor of Anambra state when I <Insert proof here>...."

Anything less is shameless and hypocritical grandstanding.

You can't endorse corruption.

Every ministry have it's budgets. And for effective governance and productiveness, the budget must be approved.

Trying to cut such budgets will only have them heads of those agencies to device other means of killing the ministry.
