  • National Assembly Members and Their Jumbo Pay Controversy: Matters Arising

Email: [email protected] 2Department of Political Science, Federal University Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State Department of Public Administration and Local Government, University of Nigeria, Nsukka (08056753011). E-mail: [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract: The objective of this paper is to examines the intrigues, power play and accusations surrounding the National Assembly budgetary allocations between 1999 and 2016.This is because since it was inaugurated in June 1999, the Legislature of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic has been roundly defined as an enigmatic one, due to the many twists and turns which accompanied its leadership and membership. It is no longer news that Nigerian legislators are the highest paid lawmakers in the world. When this fact was first revealed a few years ago, the federal lawmakers tried to justify the jumbo pay package without any success. The data for this study was generated from Focus Group Discussion and documentary sources which include books, journals and online materials. The technique of content analysis constituted our data analysis technique. Among the conclusion drawn is for Nigeria to return to the core argument that by paying excessively high salaries and emoluments to top public officials; in particular, permanent secretaries, ministers and legislators, we are mortgaging the rights of our people to development.

It is argued that ethnicity is not necessarily incompatible with nationalism and nation-building. Ethnicity and nationalism both play a role in nation-state formation. They are each functional to political stability and, therefore, to civil peace and to the ability of individual Nigerians to pursue their non-political goals. Ethnicity is functional to political stability because it provides the basis for political socialization and for popular allegiance to political actors. It provides the framework within which patronage is institutionalized and related to traditional forms of welfare within a state which is itself unable to provide such benefits to its subjects.

This was caused by a material deterioration in his health, notably Parkinson's Disease, as a result of which he needed to spend some time in hospital. Happily he is now back at home and, following the festive season is returning to his duties, the first of which is the preparation of this report. In so doing he takes this opportunity to send his personal best wishes to all members and their families for a successful, happy and healthy New Year. CONFIDENTIAL NIGERIA DIGEST – January 2016 Education New Government Plans & Reorganisation of the Teaching Profession in Nigeria Immediately following his appointment as Minister of State for Education, Professor Anthony Amuka has inaugurated the first stage of a complete overhaul of teaching in Nigeria, which he stated as a priority of the new Government, due to the fact that primary school pupils were still being taught by teachers whose policy was directed towards their pupils' higher education to study such subjects as chemistry, or biology which is at complete variance with Government policy for the childhood curriculum. As a result a significant number of teachers will receive personal training on the techniques and necessity of childhood education which is known to be one of the new President's priorities and is clearly reflected in the allocation to the sector in the 2016 Budget.
