A newly-elected member of the House of Representatives, Mr Mike Etaba, said the 8th National Assembly must facilitate bills and oversight activities that would lead to drastic reduction in the cost of running government.
Etaba, who was elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to represent Obubra/Etung Federal Constituency of Cross River, stated this in Abuja.
“The 8th Assembly must, as a matter of priority, facilitate bills and oversight activities that will lead to drastic reduction in the cost of running government.
This, he said, was necessary to enable government have the resources to revamp the education sector and undertake massive infrastructure development across the country.
“The education sector needs to be reviewed to address the current challenges of the 21st century,’’ he added.
Etaba also expressed the need for the 8th Assembly to focus on providing legislation that would facilitate national unity, particularly with regards to the issues of state of origin, place of birth and residence.
According to him, such clauses, in official forms and documents, do not portray the nation as one indivisible entity.
