Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun has told Nigerian Civil Servants not to justify stealing of public funds because of poor salaries. Adeosun stated this while inaugurating the Efficiency Unit of the Ministry Of Finance in Abuja yesterday November 30th.

"We are going to look up all the causes that make government spending extremely inefficient and we are going to circulate those results to the agencies so that they will get a circular saying this is on paper and if you go above it, the Permanent Secretary or whoever is approving it needs to have a reason for doing so.

We are setting a benchmark; at the moment, there are no guidelines; and where there are no guidelines, there is no sin. So, we need to establish those guidelines to guide how people spend money. We cannot justify stealing and say because my salary is low so it justifies stealing. Not everybody steals and not everybody is willing to steal, and stealing is not a way to address low remuneration.

Stealing is stealing and it is a crime; you cannot steal and say because my salary is low that was why I stole; what about people who have no salaries? Stealing is stealing and we must address it. It is not acceptable. We need to address it and we will do so very aggressively. There is no excuse for stealing.”she said

Adeosun said the introduction of the Efficiency Unit in the ministry was to checkmate the manner in which government money is being spent in this very challenging economic times.

“Our own initial reviews have found wide variations in the prices of basic items between departments and within agencies. Printer cartridges of the same specification ranged in price from N16,000 to N62,000".she said

She said that the obvious differences in these items will no longer be tolerated in these economic hard times.

What da hell?..poor salary isn't the problem. The problem is too much salary. These politicians be stealing billions and no one is saying anything about it.

All she does is to address the small time criminal while the big time criminal are flexing away

A case of chasing after a rap when an armed man is robbing your house.. #ignorance

True madam. Hope they will listen

Booohari and his disciples

True, but what justifies the stealing of our politicians ?



Meanwhile;

Do you have a skill or do you run a service and yet not making money out of it? Chances are that many people don't know you have this skill or offer such services and yet someone in your area might be in desperate need of your services... are you a makeup artist, event manager, Dj, Piano tutor, Model, Rented Usher, Bass guitar tutor, graphics designer, web developer, actor/actress, Lesson teacher, french Lesson tutor, programmer, etc... check my signature and register your services/skill and be surprised how many people require your services out there but don't know you offer them. Sabiboy... someone, somewhere needs your services.

Stealing is not Corruption by the way....

Could u explain this in the context of what she is saying please.

Right!!
You can't fight corruption with corruption, once this generation stop stealing funds it will be easier to expose those who have stolen before and cleanse the nation of corrupt people

issokay

She is spot on on this. But the economy of the country is not helping matter at all. Me as a student I know what I usually spend in a month with all my economical applications. I still spend a reasonable amount of money. Then, when I think of a family man on 18k per month. In that 18k, his house rent is there, nepa bill is there, his daily feedings and that of his family are there. cloths to wear is a no go area, they don't talk about that one. Children school fees and other stuffs are all wrap on that 18k. And the naira is depreciation on a weekly bases. How do you expect such a man not to be tempted to steal if stealing present it self. Sometimes I wipe for this country.
No one loves to be called a thief... I tell you, no one loves that. Something drastically have to be done. Be it true federalism or regionalism or whatever that will make the state to work hard. The states as a whole are becoming too dependent to federal government monthly allocation. They governors need to go back to the drawing board.
We have the resources, we have the man power. We just need that drastic measure to be taken and some technicality support and the country shall bounce back.

Rubbish talk. It's easy to say because yo and your fellow thieves don't depend on your salaries anyway.

Tell that to an average worker earning N50,000 a month who has to pay 'modest' house rent of N250,000 a year, pay modest school fees of N50,000 per term for his two children (three terms a year x two = N300,000), cater to miscellaneous needs and running costs, and indulge in a few recreational or leisure activities once in a while.

When one's salary cannot even cover one's most basic needs, you must be joking to suggest that people should not engage in corrupt pratices if/when the opportunity arises.

Fake morality is not an option when you're running on empty stomach.
