You can never please the saTANiods. They are the biggest hypocrites on earth.

The saTSNiods are the typical C.D.I.... Carefully Designed Idiots.

50% on Allowances of a Gov n Deputy is a lot. Kudos to the Mallam

This is where we know those that read the titles of topics and those that actually read the OP.

Governor Nasiru El-Rufa’i of Kaduna State, on Friday
said he would forfeit 50 per cent of his salary
pending when the financial situation of the state
improves.

The governor stated this in his inaugural
address, after he was sworn-in by the state
Chief Judge, Justice Tanimu Zailani in
Kaduna.

He said that the pay cut would also affect
the Deputy Governor, Mr Barnabas Bala.
El-Rufa’i also declared that the
administration would “guarantee free and
compulsory basic education for every child
up to JS3, regardless of gender, religion or
ethnicity.”

He said that in spite of the challenges
facing the state, the administration would
also “focus on jobs, security, education, and
healthcare.”

“The fact is that today Kaduna State
cannot meet its obligations without handouts
from the federal government.

“We cannot comfortably pay salaries of our
teachers and nurses and civil servants.
And after struggling to pay salaries, we
can do little else.

“We cannot fix the schools, help our
farmers, repair our roads, or treat the sick.
We have arrived at a dead end. The patient
is sick, and it needs radical therapy.”

El-Rufa’i said the situation demanded for
“difficult decisions”, adding that political
office holders must sacrifice the comfort
of their offices for the greater good of all.
“In recognition of the difficult challenges
we face, our deputy Governor and I have
concluded that the sacrifices that change
requires must begin with us.

“We have decided to take a pay cut and
donate 50 percent of our salaries and
allowances, until our fiscal situation
improves.

“We understand that leadership by example
is the most persuasive way to demand
sacrifices from all of us as citizens.
“We pledge to avoid ostentation and foolish
bigmanism, and to value transparency,
modesty and accountability.

“We will obey the same rules that we
demand of all of you; After all, the law is
the difference between civilization and
anarchy.

“We submit ourselves to the principle that
all are equal before the Law.”
On security, the governor said he would work
with law enforcement officials to
drastically reduce violent crime in the state
including “communal violence, cattle-rustling
and armed robbery.”

“We will reform the administration of
justice to ensure speedy conclusion of cases
and send a clear message that there will be
sanctions for unlawful conduct.”

He therefore solicited for maximum support
from the people of the state to enable the
administration deliver on its promises.

“Four years from now, by the grace of God
and the active support of you all, we will all
be able to say that the leaders in whose
care you have placed your affairs today
have given their all for the brighter future
that we all seek

Oga how much is ur salary

chrisxxx:
Let him apply this to his allowances not salary. Salary is small or negligible. If u mean business apply it to ur allowances.

“We have decided to take a pay cut and
donate 50 percent of our salaries and
allowances, until our fiscal situation
improves."

At least read before you comment yarn blah blah!.

voltron:
You must think us fools. Salaries are just a component of your package. Forfeit 50% of the package with all sorts of frivolous allowances.. Oh I forget... Nigerians are foools since 1960.. They will not see through this trick. Fooled again

You must know he is talking about legitimate earnings. most components of the 'package' you are talking about are illegal and will not come to him in the first place. no one dare appropriate to El-rufai what is not legitimate. so he has a point here.

just think of it, if he gives out part of his legitimate earnings how much more what he doesn't earn in the first place? He can't give what he don't have. We are talking about people with conscience here, not rogues.

INITIAL GRA-GRA

ROCHAS DONATED HIS SECURITY VOTE, GAVE FREE EDUCATION IN IMO STATE AND STILL ENDED UP WITH A BACKLOG OF 13 MONTHS WORKER'S SALARIES.

DONATING 50% OF YOUR SALARY IS LIKE A DROP OF WATER IN THE OCEAN.

SINCE YOU ARE NOT YET CORRUPT IN OFFICE, YOU CAN TELL US WHAT 50% OF YOUR MONTHLY SALARY AMOUNTS TO. POLITRICKCIAN!!!!

tunapawizzy:
These people announce salaries dey choose to forfeit. What they won't tell us is how much of our commonwealth they will corner for themselves and their cronies thru contracts and d rest. Why then should we be excited.

You hit the issue straight on.....tell me abeg who needs his full salaries or even 50% slashed salaries that he would not be spending, when he is accommodated, clothed, fed, chauffeured around the globe at the public expense.......
This is rather cosmetic...and the applauses from gullible quarters is disheartening........
What we want for starters.....is transparency in the procedures that regulate awards and payments for all public procurements for projects and services..........

Mr governor, if ur salary is 1.4 million n u forfeit Half which is 700k, how does they develop ur state

We're talking about billions n billions of allocations that will come into ur state in the next 4 - 8 years....Its that one that should be safe. Use ur salary, its for ur need, Taking ur salary will allow u enough cash not to steal state funds.

Nonsense,take your salary and don't steal.

I feel if all his aides and those within his government do same it will be more significant while making sure he blocks leakage too

Scam!!!
Former osun state governor forfeited 100% of his salary , but that didn't stop him from getting richer.

YoursGEJ:


What do you want him to do? Na wah for people o

LET HIM CUT THE SECURITY VOTE
