The House of Representatives has commenced the process of scrapping and merging ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government, with its Ad Hoc Committee to Investigate the Duplication of Functions of Agencies of the Federal Government commencing the move to reduce the cost of governance and ensure efficiency.
Chairman of the committee, Victor Danzaria, in his address of welcome, stated that the lawmakers were out to determine which MDAs should be recommended for scrapping for merger.
“This committee also has a mandate of assessing, ascertaining and doing a root-cause analysis of regular bickering among some established agencies. We found out that some of these agencies have duplication of functions. The National Assembly makes enabling laws for all these agencies. We are looking at your mandates: what are you supposed to deliver for this country? And when there is bickering between agencies, there is overlap, there is also duplication of functions.
The committee is to conduct a “root-cause analysis” of the regular bickering among some established bodies under the Federal Government.
