This Mind44 is just becoming so. . . omg!!!

That is why he hurriedly moved this thread to homepage. In his mind, to "expose" Okonjo-Iweala.

See, that woman is not in the class of Mr Alade Lawal. Trust her, she will provide him detailed evidence on that.

Besides, Alade may be talking from the narrow perspective of Civil Service while excluding the billions of personnel cost in the Police, Army, Air Force, Navy, Civil Defence and other para-military forces since this group do not form part of his union.

Civil Servants partner with politicians to steal our commonwealth but will be quick to segregate their wagebill from that of politicians in times like this

Sincere9gerian:
There is nothing to be excited about. He asked a legitimate question and the minister or her aides should provide answers.

Ngwakwe:

By these two statements below, The Secretary-General of ASCSN, Mr.
Alade Lawal is lying

The organisation also stated that records at its disposal showed clearly that the staff strength in the entire public service was about 870,000, and not 1.2 million being carried about by the minister, “unless there is a hidden agenda somewhere.”

- whereas the staff strength of the core civil service is about 100,000, as against 870,000 staff for the entire public service.

Who are core civil servants?

it is a common knowledge that
Nigerian political office holders are the highest paid
in the world, with most of them earning more than
the President of the United States of America, while
Nigerian workers are among the least paid in Africa.
Lawal added that the Federal Government should not hide
under the guise of high wage bill as a
justification to continue to pay peanut as salary to
civil servants in particular and other public service
employees in general, “while the political office
holders continue to rampage and pillage the national
treasury with impunity.”

eaglechild: Alade seems to be speaking from both sides of his mouth, on one hand you admit that Nigerian politicians are the most expensive to pay, on the other you say the wage bill is overestimated.

Yet again you go complaining that civil servants are underpaid.

If you are to pass across any info to someone as smart as NOI then learn to speak coherently.

Kossyne:

Political office holders are not civil servants. I think your statement is what lacks coherence.

The Pension thieves, NNPC Staff, Custom and Immigration Staff or who?

mu2sa2: The biggest challenge we face today as a nation is that politicians have created a huge disparity in wages to their advantage. The minimum monthly wage in the civil service is 18,000 naira but even the lowest political office holder grabs hundreds of thousands of naira without doing any work. Some of them dont even have a fixed pay - they just pillage the treasury with reckless abandon. What is salary to the president, governors, lg chairmen, when they can spend billions as "security vote" without accounting for it! I laugh when people complain about lack of development despite the huge revenue accruing to the 3 tiers of govt. The money goes into the pockets of political office holders and the few civil servants whose collusion is needed to perpetrate fraud.
Okonjo-Iweala is a fraud herself. She is paid in dollars. Is dollars our national currency? As long as we do not have honest, selfless and visionary leaders we are doomed in this country.

Neyoor: The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria has asked the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to substantiate how N1.8tn is being spent annually on wages of workers in the federal public service.

The organisation also stated that records at its disposal showed clearly that the staff strength in the entire public service was about 870,000, and not 1.2 million being carried about by the minister, “unless there is a hidden agenda somewhere.”

The Secretary-General of ASCSN, Mr. Alade Lawal, in a statement obtained by The PUNCH on Thursday, emphasised that it had “become necessary for the minister to give the graphic details of the amount so that Nigerians could be better informed on the issue.”

Demdem: The frog eye Ngozi has always been a shameless liar. Believe her to ur peril. Still in shock anytime I remember all her shameless lies on Live TV during the subsidy brouhaha.

ajibolabd: oko...njo iweala. Haha, what a name.

philips70:

If am not mistaken, I have read before on this forum you are a Deeper Life pastor. This is how you defend and deflect church funds reported missing without calling for proper investigations? How did you come about that contraption up there or is this just your usual defense on anything PDP and GEJ's government before reasoning? That's a serious allegation that deserves all serious investigation before any form of conclusion.

NB: Correct me if am wrong on your DL pastoral stuff.

Ngwakwe:

At least, I served as an elected Labour Union PRO.

My question is then, who are you and what do you think you know?

Your reference to Deeper Life was meant to achieve what? Win argument, appear relevant or what exactly?

eaglechild:


They are public servants.

PapTzy: Another issue to be swept under the carpet.
