President Buhari Paid the Salaries Former President Jonathan Failed To Pay

In the first 100 days in office of President Muhammadu Buhari from his inauguration on May 29, 2015, one of his top priorities was to pay the arrears of unpaid salaries of civil servants owed by the corrupt and incompetent government of his predecessor, former President Goodluck Jonathan. And he gave federal government bailouts to the state governments that were also owing their workers.
They received the workers’ salary bailout package from July 2015.
They received between N250 to N300 billion to pay backlog of salaries.
The Debt Management Office (DMO) also gave them debt relief packages to restructure their commercial loans of over N660 billion, extending the life span of the loans and reducing the states’ debt-servicing expenditures.

The government of the former national ruling party, People's Democratic Party (PDP) misappropriated billions of dollars of federal government revenue allocations from the Niger Delta to Abuja;diverted to Jonathan's presidential election campaign for a second term and gubernatorial elections in several states in their desperation to retain power at all costs and by all means which left the north east under the siege of the ruthless Boko Haram terrorists, resulting in the loss of thousands of innocent lives and destructions of several villages and then turned Rivers State into the bloodiest state in southern Nigeria.

President Buhari's government is paying workers' salaries and that is a big relief, especially for the civil servants who have been trapped in the MMM.

Lol.... clown!!! your Buhari is a failure, just as Jonathan, who is 3 steps away from Buhari's failure....

No news can render Buhari image clean again...let him just resign and handover to Osibanjo...

God Bless PMB God bless Nigeria.
#My Voter's card is set for 2019 by God's grace. PMB and PMB alone

Good

Buhari? Another name for incompetence, lies, deceit, cruelty, wickedness, dictatorship and failure. There was nothing ineffectual buffon did badly that Buhari hasn't surpassed except fight against those demons called Boko Haram.

Buhari is a monumental failure and his wife agrees with me.

Mtcheeew this government and lies are like 5 and 6

OP, did the PDP ever complain about the mess left behind by the military in 1998? Some of you just lack commonsense.

What is the essence of the bailout funds released that ended up in most Governors pocket without him doing anything about it.

Osun, Oyo, On do and Delta is a good example. Buhari is not just clueless and incompetent but a big FRAUD.

Lier which civil servants was GEJ owing? Please name one MDA or parastetal? You people like 2 distort truth with lies
Shame on if you don't name the federal agency GEJ didn't pay thus was owing and PMB paid?

Some federal and state workers face bleak Christmas as they are being owed October and November salaries.

The possibility of many state government workers receiving their December salaries before Christmas is also grim.

Our correspondents on Thursday learnt that federal and state agencies that managed to pay salaries of their workers were still owing pensioners.

Findings revealed on Thursday that the latest drop in oil revenue has taken a further toll on the nation’s economy. Nigeria witnessed a decline of N36.6bn in gross revenue from N536.69bn received in the month of October to N500.07bn in November.

The figures were contained in a communiqué issued on Tuesday shortly after the Federation Account Allocation Committee meeting which was presided over by the Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda.

The communiqué attributed the decline in revenue to drastic drop of 33 per cent in export volume between September and October 2014 and a further drop in crude oil price from $87.78 in October.

Figures obtained from the website of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries on Tuesday put the price of crude oil at $57.92 per barrel.

Findings by The PUNCH showed that the delay in paying salaries might not be unconnected with the shortfall in government oil revenue.

Following the failure of the Federal Government to pay some of its workers, the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, said it would ask its members to embark on a nationwide strike if the Federal Government failed to pay the October and November salary arrears.

While calling on government to use the N9.2bn earmarked to buy stoves for “rural women” to offset the October and November salaries as well as that of December, the ASCSN urged the government to pay the affected workers before Christmas or “face the wrath of Nigerian workers.”

The Secretary-General of ASSCN, Mr. Alade Lawal, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, expressed sadness that the Federal Government had not been able to pay thousands of civil servants for almost three months.

He said, “As we write, information reaching us from informed quarters indicate that about 30 Ministries, Departments and Agencies will not pay December 2014 salaries to their employees.

“It is very unfortunate that since October 2014, the Federal Ministries of Agriculture, Education, Works, Labour and Productivity as well as a host of other MDAs have not paid salaries to their workers.”

The ASCSN lamented that the reality on the ground was that “thousands of civil servants and their dependants would celebrate the Christmas and New Year in sorrow.”

The union therefore called on President Goodluck Jonathan to intervene in the matter and ensure that civil servants were paid three-month salaries before the Yuletide so as to put smile on their faces.

“We cannot understand how N9.2bn would be spent on stoves while workers who toil daily to keep the wheels of government functioning cannot be paid their meagre salaries”, the ASCSN stated.
