The OBJ administration introduced monetisation which in effect means rather than the govt providing official cars ,drivers and houses for its employees,it would instead pay them and expect them to sort themselves as is done in most private organisations.

The advantage to govt is legion
1.They no longer appropriate funds to service/maintain houses & cars,as this is transferred to the individual who obviously is in a better position to do this.
2.The govt focuses on governance and does away with non critical job functions like drivers,cleaners etc


In addition you had a situation where a lever 6 officer for e.g would be living in a govt maintained flat in V.I , while his total housing for the year is about N100,000, what does he do? He 'lets' out his official residence and takes up an apartment in the otherside of town,also you'll have Perm Secs having 3 or more 'guest houses' maintained by the govt.

These are just a few of the policies Kingibe(&Yar'Adua) are trying to reverse.

All those facilities that were sold away to government functionaries, at nominal cost, are now going to be acquired brand new at market prices. But not to worry, Oil no dey finish now.

OBJ has zero intellectual content, he made matters worse by surrounding himself with criminals and dishonest men who gave him wrong advice. See all his policies are being reversed.

With the reversal of Monetisation policy, it is clearly showing that Yaradua and his beloved brother Kingibe has nothing good for that nation. I have always known the Hausas never want anything good for that country and here they are proving it again. In Kingibes words he said:

"The monetisation policy is a laudable approach, as it reduces waste, but it is undignifying to the post of ministers"

That man kingibe must be mad, dignity comes from discipline, honesty and frugal spending, and definitely not in the number or kind of car a minister rides or in encouraging waste.

OBJ should have had his third term rather than have ignorant people like Kingibe.

ziddy:

You must be an slowpoke. Otherwise you would have realised that the monetisation policy under OBJ administration was hijacked and wrongly implemented in order to benefit certain vested interests. Perquisites attached to certain public offices cannot be monetised, for purposes of national security or the personal security of the holders of such offices. Next time engage your brain properly, before lashing out like a fool on a public forum like this because you are so eager to throw a blanket of tribalism over an otherwise straightforward policy issue.
