6. Public Administration is so important to society that citizens need to engage with it. But all over the world, there is the problem of bureaucracy/red tape, inefficiency and poor delivery of services with public administration. This is why most governments across the world are constantly re-inventing their public administration through reform. Citizens must demand to know from political parties and candidates how they will reform public administration. 7. In Nigeria, there are huge challenges with public administration. The cost of governance is very high with the federal government spending over 70 percent of its total budget on recurrent expenditure. There are huge challenges of policy planning and co-ordination. The structures and systems in the public sector are not delivering services efficiently and effectively to the citizens of Nigeria. There is a huge capacity gap in the public sector and the ministries, department and agencies are not working optimally. The budgetary process is marked with a lot of challenges and there is hardly any year when the budget has been passed in the first month of the year. Political parties and candidates must tell us how they will deal with cost of governance.
