Financial expert tasks governors to reduce cost of governance

A Financial expert and Managing Director of Cyber1 Systems Network International, Momoh Aliyu, has urged state governors to cut down cost of governance by engaging only a few aides.
He made the call yesterday in a chat with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
He said the governors must cut down their overheads by reducing the number of advisers and other political appointees.
To him, it was important for the new crop of state chief executives to deviate from the old tradition of appointing hundreds and thousands of aides without engaging in meaningful development.
“The governors’ payroll cost is high, we must do everything possible to address that by cutting it,” he submitted.
