To save cost, APC govt plans new role for NITDA, NCC, NIGCOMSAT, others




The incoming Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari government says that All these agencies will either be merged or have their status reduced



The incoming Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will tinker with the current status of the National information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), and the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), an authoritative insider in the APC Economic Think Tank has shared with IT Edge News.



All these agencies will either be merged or have their status reduced to no more than a department inside a ministry as part of the effort to drastically reduce the cost of governance, said the top APC economic strategist.



“There is no money. Cost saving has become imperative if the APC must fulfill its obligation to the Nigerian people.”

Another agency that will be affected is the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). The publicly owned broadcast organization will be merged with the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria and Voice of Nigeria. All separate entities will be fused into the Federal Corporation Broadcasting of Nigeria as recommended more than three years ago by the Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies.

Pangea:
Probe before merging
Stolen money must be recovered and the perpetrator prosecuted .

Is he trying to increase the rate of unemployment in the country?

barcanista:
E [s]xactly! Baba must probe the CBN fraud under Sanusi as highlighted by the FRCN, the PTDF fraud perpetrated by Olu Obasanjo and Atiku Abubakar, the Sylva fraud, that of Danjuma Goje, Saraki, Tinubu, Amaechi, Abubakar Bagudu(APC Kebbi Gov-elect) and many others. Then he should recover their loot and prosecute them. He must also probe the Abachas and apologise for trying to insuly our sensibilities that Abacha was clean from fom corruption.

Those that will be affected will not feel much pains because #Baba will pay them N5000 monthly as unemployment stipends in line with his change promises.
