533 civil servants whose state of origin is FCT. Of course FCT has more than 533 civil servants. I don't even think Imo has a Federal Ministry.

even some federal ministries in delta have more northerners than from the state itself..

same for Abuja..

If jigawa has less than 700 stafs on its pay role, hope they pay thier workers in advance.

Cleaners are also federal civil servants. It's not about about the number, it's about the posts they are handling and their ranks.

I'm sure that most of the high cadre lucrative posts will be handled by Northerners.

scholes0:


So HOW did Imo manage to lead?
Since you all claim their is an active deliberate effort to marginalize every Igbo person.

if I start we won't finish so is better we don't go there..
BTW..who has ruled this country for Nearly half a century, igbo man?

oduastates:
Add the armed forces( police, military,customs etc).
Then repost.

it will make no difference because all military recruitments are done based on equal number of allocations to every state except for FCT that usually have less. Btw the topic said Federal CIVIL servants. You ware welcome!

I pity and cry for my state, JIGAWA!


We are No. 8 in population but No. 33 in terms of number of Federal Civil Servants. So pathetic!

My bros, all these Indomie generation no know these thing you write here o. Them go soon call you APC.
Them no know and them no want know, them want go office, sleep, gist and chat till closing time and month end then they collect salary....

My brother they need to know o cos they are tomorrow's leaders and they need all this to steer the Nigerian ship from the swamp it currently is stuck in to the ocean of wealth we are dreaming of.

Sadly the disparity in the quality of education provided in the developing world as compared to the developed world gets me scared about the future.

MrALIVE:
FG should increase that figure to 200 thousand to reduce unemployment rate..i don't know why it is difficult for govt to tackle unemployment when they can use this simple method

Please say you are joking .

fsb:


You can't just employ an extra ### ### number of people. That has already been done over the years and aside from the effect on recurrent expenditure, it creates redundancy and ultimately reduces the effectiveness of the workforce.

Creating an enabling environment is a more critical role of governments than being an employer of labor because the former will lead to the latter. The problem is that past leaders have barely had to do a lot of critical thinking as against sit down with calculator to share oil wealth. When you do this for 35 years plus and forget the part about creating an enabling environment, you end up with Nigeria of 2016 where

1. You have a mono-economy dependent on crude oil revenues. When crude oil price falls, the economy is paralyzed as we have it today with many states owing salaries
2. Government is the largest employer of labor
3. A crippling redundancy in civil service where an office has oga, deputy oga, assistant oga, secretaries to oga, deputy, assistant oga, office clerks to deliver memo from upstairs to downstairs, personal assistant, correspondence keeper etc.
4. A civil service where people must get promoted after 4 years whether they have been productive or not
Etc.

If the civil service is restructured for efficiency and government job is all about efficiency and effectiveness like in the private sector, we would see tremendous change in the system.

Thank you, I wanted to say something to the guy but have saved the time.

No wonder Abia is always broke.

ChristDeKing:


RECEIVE SENSE IN JESUS NAME.............AMEN

Are u not ashamed of yourself? I refuse to belong to a class of people with non feasible ideas, to generation of ethnic bigot like u. I am from an Igbo speaking part. So, don't tell me bullshit.

Dbboy:
I doubt this figure is true but if it is true dont forget that Imo state is the most educated state in Nigeria, the amount of well informed individuals there is mind blowing and even in jamb intake the still remain the highest that always write the said exam.

The problem is the graduates going for government jobs instead of creating jobs themselves. Imo State has the highest number of Civil servants and pensioners in the Southeast both at State and federal level and that is a problem that needs solution.

fairheven:


bro calm down. Imo is just a state, check it by region you discover the south east has one ofy the least.. even south west is about the highest that is if the story is true for

by the way who keeps recycling this old news?

Are you comparing 5 states with 6 states

ok

AnanseK:


There is no "North" in the constitution, there is only states.

The states crying about marginalization are the ones running the country as civil servants.

Is it just Imo state claiming marginalization?

From that list: Eastern States - 16, 540; Northern States - 17,681; Western States - 21,957.

This list (questionable as it may seem) is no contrary evidence, so let's not make this an issue.

Anyone who believes this list is a fool. The north has the highest number of people in the civil service . That is an indisputable fact.

The north has the highest number of civil servants in Nigeria


This is a biased information


Check out the OP' s name


What did you expect?

Check out the source. What name did you see?

My friend you are funny comparing 19 states with 5 tiny states.

Anytime you read through nairaland comments, you quickly see how ignorant, prejudiced and bigoted the mind of the average "educated" Nigerian is...and you expect the country to be peaceful and progressing? What a joke!

THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA IS THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE THEMSELVES

kolexy:


Are you comparing 5 states with 6 states

well I should be asking you that.. every region has six to seven states and South East has five states, isn't that enough injustice on its own?

MrALIVE:
FG should increase that figure to 200 thousand to reduce unemployment rate..i don't know why it is difficult for govt to tackle unemployment when they can use this simple method

That is the worst idea, That is called big government, government is not in the business of employment what a good government does is creating an enabling environment for businesses to do so. Right now the federal government budget are 70% recurrent and 30% capital this alone is why Nigeria is lagging behind in infrastructural developments.

lordizak:
And they will still say they are marginalized.

You remember the imbalance of the JAMB admission cut offs? Well progress that to the civil service where an educated work force is the engine running the service, and you will understand that if 10000 people apply from Imo and 10 apply from Zamfara, then hiring 100 people out of the 10000 qualified applicants (less than 0.1%) from Imo is still less than hiring all the 10 applicants (100%) from Zamfara.

RedCapChief:
I'd like to see a list by cadre. Let's know where the majority of Directors and Deputy Directors come from

That's a good point. Who cares for thousands of low cadre workers with religous and tribal glass ceiling.

lordizak:
And they will still say they are marginalized.

First thing that came mind.

Also check the number of states in each geo-political zone and AMT of federal allocation to these states apart from derivation and compare it to what each state contribute to the federation account. Then repost

Kano... with all its highest population... comes less than Enugu and Abia. What happen?
