bjtinz:[/b] Not true, most state guvnors are cornering money for themselves. Edo has paying N25k just before Oshiomhole handed over and the govnor has been saying is agreed Edo 'll pay. Even, the guvnor has said he 'll pay. So, leave Edo out our govt is far more responsible that most states. 1 Like |

omohayek: They should channel those bogus contracts amount they steal towards paying minimum wage. Only in Nigeria will you see a substandard road less than a kilometers costing 800 million naira or a wall that will never be built for a certain state hospital costing 3 billion Naira. As long as Nigerians don't wake up, they will keep being slaves to thier leaders 4ever, Suffering, smiling & defending thier incompetences 1 Like |

This is trash, in fact Mr. Umahi, you have no point at all. Regrettably, it is only in this country that the welfare packages of the poor civil servants are being debated over with the evil aim of throwingit to the waste bin. How much do our senators earn, how much do political office holders, who are not sure of how they got they education qualifications earn, yet the civil servant who go through the four walls of learning, toil hard to come out with good grade and quality technical-know-how on their respective fields can't even boost of good earning. What a pity, what a bad government, what a shithole country. 1 Like |

They can pay the minimum wage. They just need to first cut out ghost workers and ministries that are seriously overstaffed. Many states have workers that do nothing, don't even go to work but get paid by the end of the month. Kind of some social welfare which should be done properly if that is the purpose. And of course, let them stop stealing public fund. 1 Like |

Jiang:Yes, yes, corruption is bad, I completely agree, but have you ever bothered to try doing the arithmetic and seeing just how much impact even a 100% elimination of corruption would have? Please, go ahead and try it! Show us how many state government jobs could be saved even if every governor became a saint willing to work for free. If you can make the numbers work so that a 30k minimum wage is sustainable across the 36 states, even as they keep their current staff levels, I will praise your name to the high heavens. Here is the bottom line: it is mere self-deception to insist that top-level corruption is the only problem, or even the main one. There are simply too many states, given the levels of internal revenues they can raise for themselves, and too many idle "workers" on their payrolls. Nearly all revenue was already being diverted to the payment of salaries to the detriment of everything else, and this wage hike is going to make things far worse. It is now virtually guaranteed that the FG will have to bail out the states yet again in the near future, and that money is not "free"; it will have to be diverted from other important things, like fixing the federal roads, or building the 2nd Niger Bridge. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Stop whining its already the law figure it out. Your options for paying new minimum wage include cutting expenses, raising revenue and cutting workforce. Make a tough decision once in your life. |

bjtinz:You’re part of the problem we are having in this country. Bro, let’s be sincere to ourselves no governor I repeat no governor is performing in this country. They are all scam, many gullible people in this country just because they belong to one political party or the other. See I understand budget A to Z and I can tell you that all the state in Nigeria can pay the 30k minimum wages. Most Governors are living beyond their means, imagine a governor from Abia for instance comparing himself to governor in Rivers or Lagos, that’s stupidity. See, Lagos is one of the state with the highest number of workforce yet the total staff is not upto 150 thousand, also remember that it’s like a pyramid the higher the staff reach another milestone the reduction in staff strength in higher level which means that junior staff are more than the senior staff. I swear The turnover revenue in Ebonyi can feed every living soul in the state but corruption will not allow 2 Likes |

That's a governor that knows how to govern. And for those that think they can't pay the minimum wage it is not by force to rule just resign. 2 Likes |

According to Mr Umahi, the payment of the N30, 000 can only be realised if the federation account allocation formula is reviewed to offer more earnings to states. Lol States can't even imagine gow to function based on their tax base. A country of nesrly 200 million living off a few billion dollars of oil revenue. The allocation sharing formula will only be adjusted but wont go away. Even if individuals had mineral rights tax policy wont change. Nigeria: personal taxes < mineral tax revenue 3 Likes |

Kano, River, Cross River and Kwara have agreed to pay. The remainder cannot be 95% of 36 states. The governors should buckle up. Since 100% governors can afford to steal states funds, the should find ways to pay, and pay the MUST! |

omohayek: Corruption isn't the only problem. Laziness and ineptitude also plays a part. Why are all the South Eastern states dismally underperforming when it comes to IGR? Not a single South East state generates as much IGR as Edo State. What big industries does Edo State have? Umahi should stop complaining and aggressively focus on IGR collection. 4 Likes |

Let's not forget that the same Gov Umahi gave out N500m of state funds out to Christian leaders in the state to 'empower the word of God'. Is that what he was elected to do? Does he know how many people's salary that money could have covered? Let him stop this waste and see if he cannot pay salaries. 2 Likes |

Osagyefo98: POLITICAL LEADERS FROM MOST OF THIS STATES WHERE THE ONES URGING THE MILITARY ADMINISTRATION OF GENERAL BABANGIDA ( RTD ) AND LATE GENERAL SANI ABACHA TO CREATE STATES SO THAT THEY CAN GROW FASTER IN DEVELOPMENT. BUT TODAY THE REALITY IS THE CASE. CORRUPTION AND MISMANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES HAVE PUT MOST OF THESE STATES IN FINANCIAL MISERY. I personally think Nigeria should embrace RESTRUCTURING. Most of the poor states should be merged to their rich sister states into a regional structure. Crude oil money that use to cover most of the secrets of these MUSHROOM states is getting reduced. THE REST PART OF NIGERIA IS WAITING UPON NORTHERN NIGERIA TO EMBRACE RESTRUCTURING TO SAVE NIGERIA FROM TOTAL COLLAPSE. |

Re: “95 Per Cent Of States Can’t Pay N30,000 Minimum Wage” - Ebonyi Gov by StaffofOrayan(m): 11:28am On Apr 21, 2019 |
The problem is that states rely on FG for revenue, and the FG is stuck on income generated from oil, Still i believe all this is intentional. Same reason we don't have working refineries, stable electricity, good roads, There is always a budget for workers salaries and the suddenly the money disappears, even bail out money goes down the drain, the truth is that like EVERY politician, governors know there won't be consequences. And of course there are economists like you that went to underfunded govt schools that thinks 30k is too much. All those 'constituency projects' by senators needs to be scrapped. That is the job of LG chairman. But 100% of Nigerians doesn't understand governance omohayek: |

I foresee pressure on FG to devalue the naira very soon, as that is their only easy way out. As Nigeria income is mainly from crude oil the government will have to devalue in order to generate more naira from the same amount of USD income. Many people do not know that many of the harsh monetary policy of FG are as a result of promptings from lazy state Governors 1 Like |
