An Abuja based legal practitioner, Pelumi Olajengbesi has asked the Federal Government to immediately scrap its Service Compact With Nigerians ( SERVICOM) on the grounds that the agency has allegedly failed to serve its purpose.
The lawyer warns that the tax payers’ money should stop being used to fund a moribund organization that is no longer serving any useful purpose.
Servicom is an initiative of the Nigerian Government of Nigeria set up to promote effective and efficient service delivery in MDAs to ensure customer satisfaction.
It is also to manage the performance-expectation gap between Government and citizens as well as other members of the public, on issues of service delivery.
But Lawyers are up in arms, insisting Serivcom has performed below expectations.
Leading the charge in Abuja, is Pelumi Olajengbesi who alleged that the organisation’s leadership and modus oparandi have encouraged an abuse of office
He also says victims of these errant officers have allegedly been precluded from accessing appropriate remedies within the administrative system.
As an alternative, the lawyer proposed that the Federal Government either revitalize the agency or abolish it immediately in order to cease squandering scarce resources on ineffective endeavors.
The counsel insists the organization’s service delivery has allegedly gone from bad to worse, whileits workers continue drawing salaries from the Federal Government coffers without doing anything to justify the pay.
The issue of excessive taxation of Business names and small media scale businesses was also brought to the fore to be addressed by the federal government so as not to discourage local and foreign investors.
The National Assembly has also been called upon to act accordingly in addressing the contradictions in the police act and the constitution as its pertains to tenure of the inspector general of police.
Pelumi Olajengbesi who is also counsel to Aides of Pro youruba nation agitator Sunday Igboho, noted that Mr Igboho will be returning to the country soon
He pleaded with president Bola Tinubu to take a different approach in addressing demands made by freedom fighters, to prevent likely threat to security and break down of law and order.
