Senator Ndume of Borno South urges the Nigerian government to cut down discretionary spending, particularly in the National Assembly, to focus on tackling the escalating insecurity in the country. He suggests lawmakers meet less frequently, adjust their remuneration, and prioritize public safety over other expenses.

Ndume questions the high overhead costs in the 2025 budget, emphasizing the need to allocate funds where they benefit the majority of Nigerians. He advocates for redirecting resources to enhance national security.
