High Cost of Governance Raises Accountability Concerns in Nigeria
Nigeria's governance structure, with a federal republic system, is facing scrutiny over its high cost of governance and lack of accountability. The intricate tapestry of power distribution among the President, Vice President, 36 states, and 774 Local Government Areas is being questioned for its efficiency and inclusivity.
The bicameral National Assembly, comprising 109 senators and 360 representatives, is criticized for its high operational costs, leading to calls for a review of the system.
