Under GEJ ALL workers were paid as at when due. PMB has done NOTHING positive.

Federal Government workers have demanded payment of their December salary and arrears outstanding since July immediately or face industrial actions.

The workers under the auspices of Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) expressed shock that thousands of federal civil servants were not paid their[b] December salary and arrears since July.[/b]

ASCSN in a statement by its Secretary General, Alade Bashir Lawal, said, “It is disheartening that thousands of civil servants employed by the Federal Government were not paid their December 2013 salary and arrears since July, and so these workers and their families spent the Christmas under the pain and pang of hunger.

“What is also clear is that these workers, their children and other dependants will also celebrate the New Year in sadness,” he regretted.

While emphasising that it would not stand by and watch the salary of civil servants being looted as had been the case with the Pension Funds, the union requested “President Goodluck Jonathan to step in and order the Finance Minister to pay civil servants their salary without further delay and put necessary machinery in place to ensure that such embarrassing situation would no longer repeat itself”.

ASCSN, therefore, call on the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the Civil Society Groups, The Patriot, the Nigeria Bar Association, and prominent individuals to prevail on the Federal Government to pay civil servants their salary as and when due so as to avert disruption of services in the public service few days after the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) was resolved.

“ASCSN also call on the Honourable Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to speak out and tell Nigerians why the Federal Government could no longer pay salary to its employees as and when due,” the union said.

It added that it has become necessary for the Finance Minister “to address the nation on the embarrassing situation because she had continued to say that the country was not broke”.

Funny enough he makes the most noise.

The MONEY had to be returned at the appropriate time (today) after ICPC are done with necessary documentations/process and not necessarily WHEN House of Representative decide. The most important is that..Money was recovered and safely kept under GEJ before the return.

Go figure how long it takes EFCC and ICPC to return recovered funds to appropriate quarters since their formation. Do you know how long it takes the Swiss to return Abacha loot or repatriate recovered funds? This isn't a one-day thing.

My only concern is on the truth and the impact of these lies on the Nigerian psyche. There are some who will tell you that the current government has done what the past could not do and Nigeria is changing for the good.

But then when you look around you still see the same things you saw yesterday. The same statistical change in the past regime, which had no impact on the masses, is also the same change (in this case yet to be evident), being hailed as what the masses want.

Lies everywhere. Propaganda going deep in the heart of man to root a tree of hatred. And the past regime is the worst in the history of the country. Really? Then you wonder where the other criminals come from. I don't think we will ever find peace in this country with all these.

ifyan:
if so then you have an ingratitude character.

Take no offence. You have find out why DPO A didn't give you back your properties before conclusion.

Like I said, you are unintelligent, you are a crooked and deceptive human being, you are a disgraced and discredited loser and grossly untrustworthy..

TonyeBarcanista:
It is worthy to note that the said mouney has been in the custody with the ICPC. Buhari has no role here. He played no role.

Let me also inform readers that since coming to power Buhari is yet to recover N1 of stolen funds. We shall always check-mate their propaganda and cut short the bid of Buhari and APC to steal GEJ's glory.


God Bless Us All

And worker's salaries were in the custody of Central Bank until Buhari cleared the arrears.

When PMB successfully restructures this nation, they will say GEJ built the foundation. Let them enjoy their moment. Everyone wants to tag along with Buhari my brother.

PDPwayoo:


f0ol, it was the same thing that happen to Abba, Onitsha, Enugu, Owerri that happen to the cities u've mentioned.
Has PDP developed your cities? 1diot. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONITSHA OF 1991 AND ONITSHA OF TODAY.

BraniacX:


AMEN to that barca

BraniacX:


See this one oh!! Who are you to classify pretoria, cape town, durban, east london as not being mega cities, park well jhorr!!! Your ignorance stinks worse than your presidents body odour

ifyan:


Why bring tribe to this.

AZeD1:


Safely kept under GEJ? Seriously?
How was it stolen in the first place if it was safe under GEJ?


Just so you know, when they are doing the FG's account the money would appear in the September column with Buhari as president.
From May 29th 2015, Every thing that happens in Nigeria (good or bad) would be attributed to Buhari.

TonyeBarcanista:
The Challenges of 2013 that's what you are lifting? Those issues were settles in the early part of 2014. Like I said, GEJ owed NO Civil servant.


The record is there.....

Tdarry:
You seem not to get the point, monies recovered by the last administration always ended up as either a pointless "record keeping" exercise or in pockets of government officials. It never get remitted to the federations account.
Recovered monies are now being remitted under Buhari and no matter how many old newspaper articles you dig up, the truth remains that GEJ's administration made trillions from crude oil sales and squandered it, and recovered trillions from looted funds of Abacha and others which never ended up in govt coffers
