This is what happens when a state has little or no IGR, instead they prefer to collect handouts from Abuja

This year, Inflation rose 70%, see them cutting salaries of the masses by 50%


They should look in the Political sector, those officials are national placeholders - all they do is hold seat.

Smh. kikero, this is your new moniker, right? Continue.

I think we can agree that Ghana, with a tax to gdp ratio of 24% has no problem paying salaries compared to Nigeria with a tax to gdp ratio of 5.8%

The problem with the Nigerian government , past and present , is not that they are incompetent in governing, but that they are incompetent in taking our one talent and making it into twenty.

Good evening.

Instead of him to cut the salaries of all state exchange including himself, he wants to cut the salaries of innocent workers...stupidity of the highest order.

Next level promise fulfilled case closed

gaetano:
Buhari and his criminal wives have ruined Nigeria

There are some states that are viable to stand as a state. The reality has come. I will suggest that many of the political appointment such special advisers be reduced, member of the state assembly salaries be reduced drastically so that the state can make some saving to float for time being. It unwise decision to cut the civil servant salaries while the political appointees salaries remains unchanged.That will not work.

But those of politicians remain intact Who is cooking who

gaetano:
Buhari and his criminal wives have ruined Nigeria

Oh boy

I guess this is his thank you to them for praying for him to come out of his coronavirus

Niceman4u:
If those civil servants supported the re-election of this diseaster called Buhari, it serves them well. Otherwise, I wish u them the best.

TossTos:

They dont care about us , they care more about how the newly bought suvs will be distribute to them as soon as possible .

You are acting like an idiot.

They are talking about Niger State and not Niger Republic.

Wicked government.

HandmadeD:
Commendable.
FG will soon do their own

what is commendable about this news.

This is grand stupidity. Civil servants are not over paid. He should slash his state government excess spending on frivolous stuffs.

Even a friend working in Ondo state civil service said they just got August salary, the governor hold a meeting and told them the state is broke.

Instead, the government should reduce the cost of government reduce the number of aide and reduce their allowance and reduce the number of commissioner as well

Lol how much the government they pay them before

D slashing shld 1st start 4rm d governor n other government officials' salaries n allowances.
Wicked people!

HandmadeD:
Commendable.

Simply slash salaries and allowances by 98% seeing that the economy failed by that much in their hands.

300....if you know you know

How can the state workers see reasons with the government when on daily basis they keep dishing out appointment letters every day to politicians and still yet complain they can pay salaries. Imagine in just 5years people you know that can hardly feed have massions and properties everywhere across the country just because they have joined politics and have aligned themselves with the government of the day. I weep for the masses walahi!
You can't be living a life of affluence, from government funds, and expect someone that can't have three meals a day to agree to feeding once daily. This is wickedness I tell ya!
Bunch of criminals in agbada.

Lobatan!

Ajepako it is better you go back to the selling of roasted yam o

Na always grass dey suffer if elephants dem start to dey fight.

Niger state should first publish what an average civil servant earn in Niger state before implementing such a harsh policy. If for instance a civil servant earns 50k half of that amount will be 25k, what is the value of 25k vis a vis the cost of living currently in the country. This people should face reality they are not ready to cut down their own cost but are bent on worsening the conditions of already impoverished lots. Spits on such thrash policy.

Okoroawusa:
NLC should shut that state down joor!

What nonsense!

So you can't reduce governor, deputy governor,commissioners and state assembly salaries by 50%?

HARDSHIP in capital letter
