Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has explained that one of the most potent ways of getting governance right in Nigeria is for those in authority pruning the cost of governance, which he described as outrageous and not sustainable.
Obi spoke on Monday to Senior Security Officers and other participants – Generals and their equivalent in other security agencies – at the ongoing Strategic Management and Policy Studies Course (SMPSC, 3) of the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Abuja.
Sharing his personal experiences with the participants on management of resources, Obi explained how he was able to reduce the budget of the Governor’s Office from 30 per cent of the total budget to 4 per cent, thereby saving more funds that led to increase in budgets for education, health and other critical sectors.
