Top 10 most Useless Government agencies in Nigeria
The definitive list of 2011

 

Abuja - Wazobia Report has concluded an intricate investigation into the most useless government agencies in Nigeria. The reporter is fully aware that the description of something as more useless than the other is a logical absurdity, as “USELESS” is supposed to be the superlative depiction of inefficiency, and thus cannot surpass itself. But what can I say? We live in a strangely absurd country:

10) Ministry of Special Duties:
This is indeed a truly special Ministry as even the most intellectually sophisticated technocrat cannot outline the role of this ministry in the country. We are therefore at liberty to speculate that this ministry is strictly “for the boys”. It might be a little less hypocritical if they named this ministry, “The avenue to chop money without having to answer too many questions.”

9) Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC):
This organization has truly earned a spot on this list of nonperformers. An indictment of this organization can be drawn simply by looking at the state of development in the Niger Delta today. This organization has failed so much that it makes the man, Failure, whom the term was named after, look like a success.

8) Ministry of Police Affairs:
If ridiculous ever walked on planet Earth, it will find a true and genuine home in the ministry of police affairs.
Everything about this ministry just spells ridiculous. Not only is the creation of an entire ministry for the handling of the affairs of the police force ridiculous, it is even more ridiculous that the only agency that has an entire ministry to handle its affairs turns out to be the most mismanaged agency in the entire country. Speaking of the police ….

7) The Nigerian Fire Service:
LOL. Excuses given by the fire service when called range from, “There is no water in our trucks,” to, “When the fire has nothing else to burn, it will off by itself.” This begs the question; “Does this agency actually really exist?” God help us.

6) The Nigerian Water Board:
If the existence of the fire service has been a subject of debate, there is one thing on which all Nigerians appear to be in full agreement; that the existence of the water board is an absolute myth.
Nigerians appear to be in general concurrence as to the unreality of the water board, and to the fact that the so called water board is just a government conspiracy to cover up the existence of UFOs.

5) NYSC:
The only thing more annoying than the fact that NYSC is completely and absolutely useless is the arrogance with which the staffs handle issues.
Seriously though, what exactly is the objective of NYSC? Integration and harmony? Then the headquarters should be moved to Jos because they could do with some serious integrating and harmonizing there.
The purpose of NYSC has obviously been defeated because there has been no government policy to support this institution, which is why it has landed at no 5 on this list.

4) Ministry of Niger Delta:
The creation of this ministry can best be described as the clueless throwing of bureaucracy at a problem that refuses to go away.
This ministry is second only to police affairs on the ridiculousness-scale, but surpasses it by far on the uselessness-scale.
Is the creation of this ministry really the Nigerian government’s answer to the challenges of development within the Niger Delta or is this just a joke where Mr Orube will come on NTA and be like, “We got you. You have all been punked!”
One hopes the latter is the case. I am still watching NTA and waiting.

3) The Civil Defense Corps:
What are these people? Who are these people? Why are they standing on the streets of Nigeria? Who put them there? Why are they always staring at me when I drive around Abuja? Are they perhaps trying to tell us something that we are too dumb to understand? Why don’t they just go away? … Stay tuned … All these and more to be answered when Nigeria actually gets a government by the people and for the people.

2) The Nigerian Police Force:
I know what you’re thinking; “How can the NPF be number two and not number one?”
The truth is, there was a battle within me but I feel that in recent times, the police have gotten a little better thus becoming the second most useless government agency instead of the first. Congratulations boys.

1) PHCN, NEPA, or whatever they call them:
Need I say more? Do these people really require any kind of introduction?

If it wasn't so serious you would say that the Nigerian Government is a joke against the terrorists. Get some backbone and save your people. Get good strong leadership into your government, lift the morale of your troops and go on the attack. You as a government are the laughing stock of the whole world. Get stuck into these disgusting Bopko bunch. PROVE YOUR GOVERNMENT AND THE LEADERSHIP TO THE WHOLE WORLD.

I dont think you did your homework well. Agencies like the NYSC are NOT useless. In my opinion, that is one of the only agencies in this country that still works. You are probably looking and speaking from a single story experience.
