The Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Tuesday, said the Federal Government has commenced the process of restructuring in the way it understands.
Mohammed made the disclosure during an interview on Channels TV. According to him, restructuring means for the Federal Government, a system whereby government’s policies and programmes can reach everybody at the grassroots
In his words: “For the Federal Government, restructuring means devolution of power. Restructuring means for the Federal Government, a system whereby government’s policies and programmes can reach everybody at the grassroots.
“For us, restructuring means ability that will allow you to deliver and in our own way, we have started. “The Acting President (then) issued an order to the Police that they should start implementing community policing; that is one aspect of restructuring that we believe will deliver better criminal justice.
“As a government, we look at our constitution as it is today and we follow strictly what the constitution says, and in applying the constitution, we look at practical ways of reaching out to people.
“The constitution is the grundnorm today; that is the basis of our being together and you cannot today as a government do anything that is contrary to that Constitution because that is the supreme law of the country.
“So, even when you talk about restructuring, you may need to amend certain provisions of the constitution, and we all know how cumbersome it is to do that. But we are not averse to genuine grievances, we are ready to look at them, but what the government cannot do is to react to the cacophony of voices.”
