None of the 109 Senators attended an online training organised on Monday by the office of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The workshop was organised for the senators and their aides and it was aimed at strengthening their use of Facebook and Social media for effective communication on issues relating to Public Policy and Good Governance.
NE observed that, less than 10 percent of the aides of the senators attended the event.
Majority of those in attendance were from the senate president’s office.
Findings revealed that just 25 out of about 500 senators’ aides, actually turned up for the programme.
The Chief of Staff to the Senate President, Senator Isa Galaudu, had in a statement issued on Thursday, said the training was in line with the promise of the senate president to bring about, a more representative legislature through the use of technology and e-parliamentary tools.
He had said that the training, would be conducted by the Head of Policy at Facebook Africa and members of her team, billed to arrive in the country on Sunday. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

That is misplaced priority, waste of time and resources.
ReplyDeleteMr. Emanuel, it can not be a waste of money for responsible people. But for junkies in the Senate, it is useless to them because majority of them are for sharing money only.
ReplyDeleteNext time, electorates will review who are serious minded candidates.
They are there only to share money ans sleep . Majority of them are empty heads. Awon Olodo rabata. Miscreants.
ReplyDeleteIt is clear their services is not for humanity rather for selfish and self centre alone

ReplyDeleteA very disheartening governing machinery! 109 senators + 500 aides,306 members of house of rep and their corresponding pa,then come ministers and special advisers which has just been reduced to 40- all at the federal level. Each of the 36 states too have their own administrators with local government chieftains -with all these the systems are not working. Electricity very poor, dangerous driving on poor roads,provision of water inadequate or non-existent,security of lives and property very flimsy postal system forgotten, unemployment rate daily spiraling up (all the institutions that could have been sources of employments have been killed or paralyzed). Instead of facing these issues they keep on bragging with political titles,'your excellency', 'senator','Honorable',etc making policies that make them comfortable at the expense of the people they are designed to look after. Painfully many have made desperate journeys out the country for better life,with some losing their lives in the bid. HOW LONG WILL THIS CONTINUE,LORD ?
