The government gives security votes to all state governors before now as chief security officers of their states, and before now, that money is not usually accounted for.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019If you ask how they are using it, they will tell you that security matters are shrouded in secrecy, that you don\u2019t need to see what we are doing with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019If you\u2019re the chief security officer of a state, and you\u2019re being given security votes, I don\u2019t know how much that is given to you, I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing with it, how can I help you to secure the state? I don\u2019t know what your programmes are.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019We are now changing the narratives to say no, if the security is the collective responsibility of every citizen, let the state governors share their plans with the citizens, so that we can key into that plan and secure our state.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The labour leader stressed that the only way to reduce insecurity is by fighting poverty in the land, saying investments would keep eluding the country if insecurity challenges are not properly addressed.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u2018\u2019We have been saying it that government must cut down the cost of governance. Nobody can say, even the media, how much is spent by the Nigerian government on the bicameral legislature for example. You have the Senate, you have the House of Representatives, and if you look at their functions, they are duplicated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, a government that is serious about cutting down cost, will now say, okay, let\u2019s have only one legislature. Let\u2019s have the unicameral legislature, then scrap House of Representatives for example. Then, whatever you\u2019re pouring to that place, you can save it and divert it to do other things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has called on the 36 state governors to account for the\u00a0usage of security votes they have been collecting all these years amidst rising insecurity in various states.
