Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), to cut the cost of governance by speedily supporting any proposal to slash spending on governance across board.<br/><br /><br/><br /><a id="more" name="more"> </a><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />Jibrin spoke in Abuja just as members reconvened from their election recess.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />When asked a specific question on whether it would include the remuneration of members, he said, “Cutting cost is all encompassing.”<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />He added that the running cost of members would be slashed since it was also part of the cost of governance.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />Jibrin added, “‎It is not only the issue of take home or the running cost. It is the entire package of running the activities of the National Assembly.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />“So, when someone says, I am going to cut cost, it covers every aspect of it. When you say you are going to cut cost, it is quiet straightforward. ”<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />Jibrin also promised that the House, under his leadership, would publish the remuneration of ‎lawmakers periodically to lay to rest the speculation over the exact size of their pay package.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />The pay package of members of the National Assembly has generated controversies since 1999, as Nigerians feel that their take home pay is too high and a burden on taxpayers.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />Many have tagged it “jumbo pay”, considered too high for Nigerians to bear.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />via nigerianeye</div><br /></div>
