The Bayelsa State Government has announced a 30 per cent slash in all political appointees pay in the state.

The state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Jonathan Obuebite, who spoke on Thursday, shortly after the State Executive Council meeting in the Government House, Yenagoa, announced that the 30 per cent slash in salaries was necessitated by the prevailing economic situation.

He, however, gave a glimmer of hope for workers in the local governments, saying they would start receiving the salaries they were being owed as from Monday, May 16, 2016.

In his remarks, the Head of Service, Singabele, said the executive council directed that all permanent secretaries, heads and chief executives of parastatals and extra- ministerial departments as well as all headmasters and principals of secondary schools should prepare an authentic nominal roll and payroll of their various establishments.

The federal allocation for Bayelsa has been less than 2b in the past months. how can you develope and pay workers with that amount? Their major problem is their people and not the government. The people don't invest so as to attract employment. everyone there depends on the state government for survival. The highest business there is keke and hotel.
Do you know they import bread and sachet water from Delta State?

There is no reason under the sun or under water or under the earth for civil servants in Bayelsa to be owed any salary. It only shows you the kind of wickedness the political class in Bayelsa is made of.

Because you just stay beside your foam and spewing rubbish ko? Bayelsa problem is the indigenous fools there. They all depend on the government. even crayfish seller there is from Delta. All they do is to fold their arms and wait for salary from the government. Once salary is not paid, they languish in abject poverty. their IGR is second to only Ekiti in Nigeria. I don't blame the governor, the mentality of the people there is the problem

What about the Governor and his deputy, thr speaker of Bayelsa state house of Assembly and his deputy, do their salaries not get slashed also?

Why is it only civil servants and the common man on the street that feels the harsh economic condition?

These are questions we should be asking our leaders.

This is because our "Oyel" and gas will earn Nigeria less than $9 billion this year and with the electric cars that I saw were becoming more common on the streets of American and Europeans cities, Oyel is done.
Bayelsa has a civil service the size of Lagos civil service.
Anyone who wants to see through Jonathan's soul should look at bayelsa.
Ghost fishes must be on the payroll.

Way to go
But civil servants shld b left out ooo 18k minimum wage needs to b increased n nt decreased
Peeedeeeepeeee. Power to d people

And they have oil there oo

ok

As in salary? that is not enough. cut the allowance instead and reduce the number of political appointees.

It's the allowances that should be reduced.

Avengers bomb govt income, dumb Nigerians are happy not knowing that their parents will take pay cut when the cookie crumbles.
who is fooling who?

Why slashed it. You could have increased it now.

Dumb set of fanatically corrupt people.

what has he been doing with the excess savings

chain change

Hmmm

Waillers ohhhh make una come see shame ohhh!!! This is not Aregbeshola, this is coming from the smallest state in Nigeria with large deposit of oil resources, earning more than twice of what Osun state is earning in federal allocation, with NDDSP support. What a shame.

Govt deny avengers their daily income. The wise and inconsiderate oil magnates are sad because their investments will no longer germinate when the cookies crumble.


Get this Mr.
The avengers do not engage in kidnapping or murder. They're are after the tools sip $ to the north and leave burnt tar that pollutes their arable lands and poison their waters. I don't think you've been to these sites.


I do not support millitancy, I do not support corruption either. I do not support northerners controlling southern reserves, yet there is poverty in the north.

Good move ..

Well I heard allocation dropped by about 60% since last year. It will be diff to manage.
