you wan become quick millionaire? join government!

govt asleep again. this one is even worst than bring our girls back!

i know understand what the question says? the govt has open treasury so everyone sees how the govt spends money. perhaps, its meant for us to go and bash the heads of these government millionaires.

slivertongue:
but u agree the report is on what during this administration

i meant it has been ongoing for a long time. we've heard the rumours of nnpc staffs receiving exhorbitant pays. this confirms it.

slivertongue:
"Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) paid over 8 billion as salary upfront in January 2020. This is according to the daily payment data published on the open treasury portal.
The review of salary payments between January and April 2020 showed two descriptions. The first description is January 2020 DPR Staff Salary. This has only five beneficiaries and sums to ₦29.6 million. The second description, which is 2020 DPR Staff Upfront Payment, had 605 beneficiaries and summed to ₦8 billion."

this was most likely before buhari. oil money don dry.

slivertongue:
29 top officials received between ₦50 million and ₦71.7 million as upfront salary payment. Another 30 received between ₦30 million and ₦49.9 million. 51 staff members received between ₦20 million and ₦29.9 million. 119 others received between ₦10 million and ₦19.9 million. The remaining 375 staff members received between ₦5 million and ₦9.9 million.

Go to "Daily payment", and download by year/ and month, you will see staff names there. hehehehehe
See as government staffs dey get millions... they are practically millionaires!!!
while millions of youths are jobless!

I think another government does this, they publish names of staff and their remunerations in the newspapers everytime.

AMvanquish:
Thanks for the open treasury reference but I still insist It was leaked. Open treasury does not specify cadres of staff that are paid, not to mention even calling out a staff name that was paid. Or if you have the link , please send it because I cant find staff names in the above link. Besides all I see are Govt sector based Financial et al.

you work for nnpc or dpr. how can many people be jobless and they still pay others millions in salary every month
its senseless.

PoliticallyInco:
This piece was written out of ignorance and sensationalism.

Global equity when it comes to salary etc. Is a dream. And no time in Nigeria will there be equal pay for all staff of the Government. Not even the oil companies pay themselves the same amount. Even in the USA there is only a minimum wage.

AND WHAT IS WRONG IF SOMEONE EARNS MORE THAN THE PRESIDENT? WHO IS THE PRESIDENT THAT PEOPLE CANT EARN ABOVE HIM IN THE CIVIL SERVICE? SINCE WHEN IS THAT A BENCHMARK? What manner of ignorance is this? Does the president earn hazard allowance? Does he earn shift allowance? Is he under the risk of dying in a helicopter crash every 2 weeks? Is he under the risk of having his survey vessel offshore attacked by pirates and militants?

What is the minimum education requirement to becoming the president of Nigeria? School certificate? As a minimum this won't get you employed into DPR or FIRS, etc.

1. The Oil and Gas Industry has its own salary structure. Try to pay a DPR staff 30 thousand per month and you want him to regulate a Total Staff who is paid 1 million plus? Really?

2. The risk majority of these DPR staff take in doing their jobs. The level of expertise, it is not something you just pay paltry 30 thousand minimum wages for.

3. Also, the financial arrangement DPR is operating under is quite different from those of other MDAs. DPR gets to keep a percentage of whatever it generates. Hence it can do much better than many other MDAs.

4. The revenue that the DPR generates is huge. It keeps surpassing it's target every year. Yes the Federal Government gives DPR a target with respect to revenue.

5. For now the Oil and Gas Industry is most important to Nigeria. Those who work and facilitate this will naturally be paid more and appeased by better perks.

As it stands today let no one deceive others that all Civil Servants Contribute the same. They never have and they never will. Various arms of the Civil Service contribute differently to the growth, revenue and development of the country. We all love to live in fantasies and lies we well ourselves.

it was not leaked. its govt transparency policy: open treasury. see https://opentreasury.gov.ng/
its the only way to catch thiefs

AMvanquish:
The HR Dept in DPR need to find the snitch that leaked this info and have the person dealt with. In Govt circles, this is standard knowledge. DPR have always been well renumerated due to their O & G status.

liar. these salaries are more than what the private firms earn. 71 million a year in dollars is more than 200,000usd
i hear one google engineer for lagos dey get 700,000k a month. thats a private firm.

caleboxylic:
This is poor considering that they generate forex for the country with a risk.

Compare what they pay to them with Total, Nlng etc, you will see they earn less.

Their salaries should be reviewed upward to accommodate the risk they take in regulating our upstream sector.

everyone is there to suck the govt dry !

i am looking at the data. i wan see if i know anyone. i mean for anyone to get 12 million a year. thats 1 million monthly when minimum wage is 30,000 .

it is completely wrong. a survival of the fittest system. the data has many people receiving millions !!! i mean it millions !!! if you work for these mda you will never go broke again!

dey wan do ambode treatment for him

what has obaseki even done? benin floods every time it rains

stop lying. read the article again

Saifulah:
It is important to note two things here

1 upfront salary
2. Industry

Upfront salary is some percentage of your annual salary paid to you upfront in January. This is normally 45 to 55% depending on the CBA. Say for instance you earn 400k monthly, your annual salary is 4.8 million. Hence a 55% upfront payment will mean you will get a January salary of 2.6 million (from the 4.8 annual salary) and just 180k for the remainder of the 11 months.

As someone mentioned the energy industry pays high salary on average. If the DPR as a regulator decides to pay less it risk attracting unskilled workforce and losing it's best hands to the oil companies it seeks to regulate. Another thing is poor salaries make them prone to bribery in an industry like oil and energy.

you mean government staffs that make 4 million every month?

Iruosonobrugwhe:
There is nothing wrong here. They earn a lot and it is consistent with the industry they operate it.

we are majority here. paid worm

shut up. you work for dpr

olaNL:
Hmm. Though the money seems quite large, but there are two ways to look at it. You might want to say that the salaries of the DPR staff is on the high side for civil/public servant and the same goes for other high paying public institutions like NNPC, FIRS etc. But you also have to look at the practices of the industry under which the institution operates. The oil industry is known to have high salary benefits to its employees all over the world. So if DPR and similar government agencies decides to pay it's staff what non oil related industry are paying, it will not get required technical manpower to perform it's operations most especially in the top management level and it will generally have a high employee turnover as its staff will port to private oil companies that pays will at any given opputunity.

And the writer of this piece does not understand what upfront payment is. It's an accumulation of benefits that is given once a year and at the beginning of the year and it varies across the seniority level. So it doesn't mean that all the employee got similar upfront some might have gotten more while other got less than what was stated in the article above.

you see how dey dey drain nigeria. treasury money don dry so dey release the records.

staffs that make 1 million a month. directors that make 5 to 6 million every month. the rumours have always been there. and more than 600 staffs. we hear it is even worse in nnpc

is nepotism a crime in a pan-african organisation? he hired the best candidates. we nigerians are better than the other africans.

proof: all past presidents have been francophone or ethiopians, and they foolishly allowed non-africans to run a pan-african bank

tonychristopher:
You think it is Nigeria? Tell that to investigators....

He is nepotistic

giving him friend oladokun contract can nail him! dey call it personal gain. conflict.
well-played by the foreigners to get him out.

Okoroawusa:
What about any one against him without"any weight of evidence "?

What does that person not have?

how am i supposed to know? go ask adesina. he somehow gave the oladokun a 326,000usd contract. of course people go shout! he thinks na nigeria he dey.

otokx:
Is it the same Victor that was doing CBN News and Turning Point?

dont be foolish. this is the trap they've set. they want to destroy his image to prevent him from running for re-election. dont fall for it. act as if nothing as happen'

chyket:
I am so heartbroken!!!I have always considered this Man as one of the shinning lights of Africa.I seriously pray he pulls through this.

what's wrong with putting nigerians in the place? na america get afdb? they say most of the senior staffs are french. I dont know how we allow these foreigners to run the afdb. i know, the answer is simple. because the other african countries are dullards and dummies. the trick america use is to make the allegations public so to force adesina to step aside. read his responses on the link in page 1. too much dirty politics at play in the afdb. they want to fire dis, fire dat. here are some from page 54:

So you have a situation of a very flawed investigation, with too many hidden agendas
and inconsistencies and a conspiracy to find Mr. Lufumpa guilty at all costs, when
the evidence just does not add up to reach the required burden of proof. With these
inconsistencies and malicious intentes, it was obvious to me this was a witch hund clad
in investigation garments. Management cleard Mr. Lufumpa of the allegations and wrote him
a letter of apology on October 1 2019

Heathrow44:
Oga only a one count charge if driven home is enough t kick his ass of the office.. That place is not Nigeria where leaders re tight fisted t relinquish power. Anybody supporting this man with d weight of evidence against him does not have any moral standard and character

he should not resign i read his responses on saharareporters. they are just jealous of him. the only issue i have is with hiring his friend oladokun.

Heathrow44:
Never liked the guy for anything he thinks the AFDB is Nigeria where any impunity & nepotism is swept under the carpet with this 16 count allegation if found guilty he should be made to face d full grunt of d law, extradited to the US and charged.. Of Course his entitled to his lawyer and his rights would be upheld always when necessary...

Best thing : Resign but rather than a typical Nigerian to resign they hold power but it's d US we re talking abut here, Mr. Man commit from there

PS all this people shouting the US wants him out so d can control d organization are seriously bad people, always turning a blind eye to an obvious injustice going on, whether he is a Nigerian or not I'm not going to condole or overlook his allegations, we must be transparent, accountable and law abiding...

Justice must be served ! Or simply Resign!


The problem of Nigeria are the citizens not the government(Savage)

hes up for reelection. our chances may be gone then!

Goke7:
oga, they want adeshina out simple as nobody holy pass, other african nations are just eyeing the seat to do theirs as well, get the drift. There is no fair hearing anywhere in this world, if you are strong to be stopped, they simply dig out your dirt and you are out. This is the painful part to see a diligent Nigerian no longer heading a prestigious body like afdb and watch out how Nigeria will be disadvantaged when the guy is finally out. This is our pain. Let's not be too legalistic

others wll fill the void. they are waiting like predators. america can increase its share assuming it is not restricted.
i mean it is the 2nd largest shareholder. how did we allow it to happen? shame on all african governments
'

Exc2000:
should they muscle him out.. Nigeria their main market for loan customers with loan secuirity from petrocrude dollars would simply pull out

how much we contribute? give us top 5 donors

SmartyPants:
Nigeria is the largest shareholder in the AfDB

that of promoting himself is nonsense. largarde did the same at the imf. she was everywhere.

its not funny. its boardroom politics. dey want him out!! hes ruining their cake.

Exc2000:
just imagine the timing of them requesting a probe for allegation that happened some a year some two years back.. funny people.. thank God Huwei's fight and 5G fight is giving some more people to fight rather than succumb to American and western Supremacy

they are only there because they want to control afdb like now!!!

JuanDeDios:
Fair question. Because we need the money? The 27 non-Afrircan members are all rich countries and aren't beneficiaries of the bank - only African countries are. But I think you can raise this as a separate question, that is, separate from the issue on ground - that Dr Adeshina allegedly abused his position by "violating ethical guidelines in the recruitment and promotion of staff, disrespected internal probationary rules, condoned sexual harassment by his protégé, recruited unqualified staff, favouritism, duplicated company roles and probably wasted banks funds on unproductive concerns." (Thanks for the summary, emkz.)
