The former Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, emphasizing the need for President Tinubu to implement true federalism, echoed his past gubernatorial stance. Former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, criticized the proposed restructuring of federal agencies by the Tinubu administration, stating that simply reducing the number of agencies may not solve Nigeria’s challenges. Chidoka raised concerns about job losses and called for evidence-based policy analysis, suggesting a focus on devolution of power and a comprehensive reevaluation of Nigeria’s governance philosophy.
These concerns raised by the former Corps Marshal and the former Minister of Aviation indicate potential impacts on the masses. If the proposed restructuring focuses solely on reducing the number of agencies without addressing underlying issues, it may lead to job losses, particularly within the affected agencies. This could result in economic hardship for individuals and families who rely on those jobs for their livelihoods. Additionally, without a comprehensive approach that includes evidence-based policy analysis and a focus on devolution of power, there may be limited improvement in governance effectiveness, potentially affecting service delivery to the populace. Overall, the situation highlights the need for careful consideration of the potential consequences of restructuring on the well-being of the masses.
