Enugu—Human rights group, Centre for the Vulnerable and the Underprivileged, Centrep, has commended the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), for moving against pension for former governors.
This came as another rights group, Civil Rights Realization and Advancement Network, said the move would save government money that could be deployed to areas of benefit to the people.
According to the group, the move will reduce prohibitive cost of governance in the country, if successfully achieved.
Executive Director of the group, Mr. Oghenejabor Ikimi, also suggested that the new crop of legislators to be inaugurated in the new political dispensation on May 29 2015, should repeal the appropriate laws empowering the doling out of such public funds to the former governors.
He said: “Sincerely speaking, General Muhammadu Buhari’s move against pension for ex-governors is highly commendable. This is because if we want to rank amongst the developed nations of the world come 2020, then, we must jettison the prohibitive cost of governance nationwide.”
