Kano Central Senator Ibrahim Shekarau has advised President Bola Tinubu on measures to cut the government’s expenses.
According to Shekarau, Tinubu should reduce the number of members in the Senate and House of Representatives in order to minimise the expense of government.
Appearing on Channels TV Wednesday night, Shekarau said that Nigeria does not require both chambers.
He was quoted as saying, “Left to me, we don’t need to have the two chambers, the two houses.
“It’s costing the country. I agree, a democracy means getting as many involved as possible, but the way it is going on now, it’s almost 500 legislators nationwide; I don’t think we really need this much at the moment.”
