Check if yours is inside

Finally, this document has been dusted and giving a new breath of life.


A leaner government is what we have been clamouring for as this will reduce waste and redundancy in the federal civil service structure.

"COURAGE" deployed to good use this time.

I hope unicameral legislature is recommended by the report

I doubt

Bicameral Legislature is bad too.
Nigeria deserves Unicameral legislature.

Senate can do the work of both the red chamber and the green one.
In conclusion, House of Reps should be scraped also in order to lessen cost of governance.

As much as I like the Northerners,they brought Nigeria to this sorry state because they depend solely on "eating" govt.
Most of what would have moved Nigeria forward,they will say No.
Restructure...No
Oronsaye...No
Cconfab...No
This..No
That...No
Most of those MDAs etc were created just to accommodate the "eaters" with no knowledge.


Sometimes,I pray that Nigeria should just divide so that everybody can go to their camps.

Cutting cost of governance is one of the calls the opposition have been making.
Good thing the Chicago first class olodo have started listening.

Reno mockery will never give this kind of advice .

It remains CONFAB 2014 REPORT by GEJ the Great

God bless Orasanya and the committee members. God grant Tinubu discerning mind to implement it.

I know many people who goes to the office 2 times in a month but collects fat salaries, they have nothing to do at the office, just sit and gist, read newspaper, sleep then go home.

The one that works at DMO says they do nothing there rather than use the office WiFi to watch and download movies, maybe after like 3 or 4hrs you would be called to carry file to another office and you sign and return to your desk, and you begin to wonder why Nigerian government creates ministries they have no job for the numerous staffs they employ.

Relax Tinubu will fix all. He's the one that can truly do it.

Interesting

Senate ?... Senate should go. House of representatives can function on their behalf

Confused clowns.

The following need to be scrapped also,.... VIO, NSCDC, NTA, NYSC,

The committee recommended that the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) and Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC) be scraped and government restrict itself to only providing consular service and vaccination of intending pilgrims.

The above is going to be controversial to the religious fanatics from both side.

*VIO is long overdue for scrapping since almost every state now has their own version

*NSCDS should metamorphosis into state police with the NPF as there trainers and overseer's

* NTA, FRCN and VON should be privatised and sold to the Chinese so they can continue what they started as STAR TIMES

richiemcgold:

I think that can never happened because we are used to many federal honourables

So much has been talked about this oronsaye report .I have listened to interviews were some very intelligent Nigerians called for it severally.

I will surely make out time to look for it and read .

Nice one from the president,may God give him the balls to implement it to the fullest.

When he is done ,the restructuring of Nigeria and constitution amendment should follow.

This is a welcomed development.

We're moving!

A leaner government is what we have been clamouring for as this will reduce waste and redundancy in the federal civil service structure.

Nigeria’s economy woes for the past 20 years has very little to do with the size of the Federal Civil Service. A leaner government that doesn’t address over inflation of contracts that will continue to hemorrhage revenue to corrupt pockets at the expense of the citizens.

A 20,000 strong Civil Service that waste N1trn will not make a difference if the size is reduced to 10,000 strong and the same N1trn is wasted as contracts and corruption.

The savings on the salaries of the civil service cannot fix the economic issues.

We are not a producing nation industrially or in manufacturing. The agriculture we used to have is all but gone due to insecurity. We cannot even sustain a service industry because we don’t have electricity and roads.

These are the real issues and not Orosanye report.

If your TV screen is dusty and has bad reception, cleaning the dust alone will not let you get good viewing. You need to fix the bad reception.

OGSG announced N10k a month transport allowance for civil servants as part of palliative for the State. This is a state with 29000 civil servants and 6million resident. What is the impact of 29000 out of 6million getting transport allowance?

These are the stupid things people in every arm of the government is doing.

Buhari handed out palliatives for 8 years and there was no economic improvement. Tinubu has joined the bandwagon.

There is no nation in the world that can lift its citizen out of poverty or economic hardship by palliatives.

The nation is not civil service alone. The nation is the economic output of the citizens.

No, it's the Senate that should be scrapped. The House of Reps is more representative with more reps per state.

Let the Senate Go.

So the report didn't say Nigeria should be scrapped

My pain is some people will still not see this as anything nah...

Where is that useless Ajuri Ngelale?

It's like Onanuga has sidelined him The UAE visa gaffe was the final nail in the coffin of the bastard's professional career

Implementation of Orosanye report means at least 30% of civil servants are going to lose their jobs in the next few months, dumped ito the already saturated, depressed labor market and those salaries that would no longer be paid to them will account as tinubu’s savings…smh

Buhari is a lunatic, a cursed soul

This will take years of legal reforms...and may destroy the country.

Tinubu can't fight the govt...be ready for destabilisation in this country.

Well meaning as it may be, it is not exhaustive...ofcourse there's always room for improvement, but let him not put the cart before the horse, as he has been known to do. He might be creating more chaos.

..except maybe, he's the messiah that will get this country to divide.
