Ask Atiku Abubakar — Official Citizen Engagement Platform

How will you cut the cost of running government?

I'll lead by example: no living in luxury while citizens struggle. We'll eliminate revenue leakages in governance and procurement, review and begin implementing the Oronsaye Report within my first 100 days, place a clear public cap on executive and legislative appointments at every level, digitize public service, and cut non-essential government-funded travel. Cutting the cost of governance starts at the top, with me and my team, not with empty promises to the people.

The ADC will: 1. Fix the economy without hurting the people. ● Reforms will be introduced with clear plans and real support for those that are most affected. 2. Ensure that taxes are simple, harmonised, transparent and fair to everybody. ● Citizens will be able to track how their taxes are spent at the federal, state, and local levels. ● We will increase the threshold for taxable income so that those who earn survival income are exempt. ● We will reduce the income tax so that Nigerians have more to spend. ● We will simplify the tax code. 3. Cut the cost of governance and reduce waste in government. We will reduce excessive spending. ● We will review and begin implementing the Oronsaye Report within the first 100 days of an ADC administration. ● Introduce a clear and public cap on the number of executive and legislative appointments at federal, state, and local levels. ● Digitize public service across all levels of government ● Cut down on all non-essential government-funded travel
