You are the dullard here because you didn't realise that the senate is an independent arm and as such, the presidency can not tamper with its affairs. Some of you just criticise and wont do better when you get there.
Your brain is dead I tell you. Let the senators increase their budget to one(1) Trillion Naira because they are independent. Id10t.

Nigerians are dying of hunger, some states of over 2 million people don't even have a budget of 100 billion, yet less than 500 people budget 150 billion for themselves and you see nothing wrong with that and you are here claiming independent.

Buhari cannot tamper with their affairs but he can tax the poor people N50 for every deposit. So senators are now gods that cannot be questioned.

With this type of reasoning, I can confidently conclude that Naija is finished.

The Federal Government in a bid to reduce the amount being spent on overheard expenditure on Wednesday night banned all top officials of government from flying first class while embarking on officials trips.

It said henceforth, all top officials of government such as ministers, permanent secretaries, Chairmen of Federal Government Committees, as well as Chairmen and Chief Executives of Parastatals and Agencies are to travel on business class.

The development was confirmed in a statement issued by the Media Adviser to the finance minister, Mr Festus Akanbi in Abuja.

In the past, some government officials who should have been on business class usually travelled on first class, while many others travelled business class instead of economy class.

Akanbi in the statement said the new directive has been captured in a circular on review of overhead expenses released by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

He said the development is one of the recommendations made by the Efficiency Unit which was set up by the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, last last year aimed at reducing overheard expenses.

The unit was set up to engender transparency and reduce government’s large expenditure through procurement in the various ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government.

Flimsy development. 0_o

I swear this APC led administration is clueless and stupid. How will flying economic class reduce our sufferings?
Oga please make policies that can favour the masses and stop fooling us with this beer parlour discussion.
Even Davido, Wizkid and other kids fly first class and u re asking top government officials not to fly. Pls give respect to whom it is due.
Its close to One year, our sufferings have amounted to a higher level.
#No Fuel
#No Light
#No Water
#No Job
Yet U are here with this cock and bull policy.
This is a confirmation that many Nigerians don't know what they want, after the revelations that travel expense is the biggest overhead unit cost in the yearly expenditure, educated folks still ask the inane questions of what change will come from an attempt to reduce cost.

So due to the fuel crisis that is been addressed gradually every other government decisions should be put on hold? And if they call smart Nigerians you too will raise up your hand

You re very correct! Every government official should be bought a private jet to fly around since it wont make anything better.
U must be one of those who celebrate when u see the president holding his newspaper and open a thread to say he is humble or those who see milo on his table and shout: I love this president and so on. Issue is all those are not Nigeria need to be economically viable. We should stop dancing to frivolity and demand real intelligent policies that will turn around our fortunes.

I swear U are Dumb. Every sensible government looks to attend to the need of her people. How does flying first class reduce the Cost of governance In this damn administration? Mr President's constant travel out of the country with his entourage should be cut off first. He should curtail his journeys, he has ministers and directors that can do that. He should first of all reduce the number of his executive cabinet. Do U know how many PAs he has on one portfolio?
So Mr Intelligent, if u don't know what to say, u better stop quoting me.

Typical of _fucktards.

If Buhari had wade in into NASS, you same would have called him a dictator. He has no respect for democracy. Where were you when during his media chat, he said he'll talk to the senators to reduce their overhead and spendings?

What stops you from going to your LGA to see your representatives and force them to reduce their budget. Is is not you and I that voted them in?

Very easy to say Nigeria is finished but Nigeria wont and instead grow bigger and better under this government. There are challenges but I am positive about that, that we'll pull through.

If first class travel expenses cost 100 billion a year, and business class ticket is half of first class, do simple arithmetic and tell us what should be saved theoretically. It is foolishness to expect 80% cut or thereabouts in any organisation running expenses, it can only be in gradual increment in a large bureaucracy like the Federal government

You are not well I swear. So if buhari compel the senators by showing good examples Nigerians will complain abi?

So it's alright for him to be stealing N50 from the poor people while begging less than 500 thieves to reduce their budget that is more than that of many states?

Is high time Nigerians realised that democracy as practiced here is not working.

In your own opinion, what is the justification for a nigerian senator earning more salary than the American president?

You see your life?

These are the issue that any person of integrity should address, not flying up and down.
