Ko le werk... He should have recruited more instead

The more workers, the more income the state would be generating
How will the State generate more money having more workers? More States in Nigeria uses over 60% of the revenue accruing to the State to service the work force. Remember this workforce is less than 5% pf the population.
I support El-Rufai

let us be true to ourselves. Many states don't need the numbers of workers on its payroll. We can never develop as a country when 85% of some states revenue is used in paying salaries of less than2% of the population. It makes not sense. Many of the civil servants are redundant. In so department you would see 5people doing the work of 1 person. It also like that at the federal where due to tribal sentiments they have loaded it with there people. With technology we don't need bulky civil service. More funds should be made available for stimulating the economy through provision of grants, infrastructure , Agricultural support etc that would help the entire populace. There should be a law that stipulate 65 to 35% in terms in favour of capital to recurrent cost. And that all employment must be shared across all nooks and crannies of a state evenly.
I like your response. How about the redundant politicians who don't do anything but occupy government positions and are collecting huge sums sufficient enough to pay over 30 workers monthly salary per politician?

How about the state house of representative members who even when they don't sit claim the money for this and all sorts of evils happening amidst the politicians?

Let's be honest, if you want to downsize, do this holistically. Include the politicians and we will know that he meant well. Who created the problems in the first instance, isn't it the politicians themselves?

We should look at the issue holistically than taking a side to judge this matter.

I don't blame him Sha,they will collect N5000 and sing his praise to high heavens in the next election and later come back to lament.

Shaking my head.
Kaduna State has less than 100,000 people in its Civil Service. El'rufai was voted into power by over 1.2 million people in the last election. Do the math. Why should 98% of the State's allocation be used to cater for less than 10% of the population?

El Rufai no matter what people call him Bigot, sadist, Religious extremist. All I know is El Rufai is one politician who sees what is supposed to be do, he will go ahead and do it no matter what anyone thinks. Most times he doesn't do his work to pacify anyone. He does what is supposed to be done. Downsizing civil service is one of the bitter pill we have to swallow simple
When he downsized did he pay off?What if it was your parents who have been working with state government all their lives that were retrenched without a dime.U people need to care abt others plight.U obviously don't know anything abt Kaduna

Re: El-Rufai Insists On Downsizing Workforce by buJu234: 7:50am On May 23, 2021
Let's say the truth, El Rufai is right on this one..

Any country that spends on civil service more than it spends on the private sector will never develop or grow..

Read about the economic system of Germany , UK in the 1980s & France.

AnanseK:
So he should pay unproductive workers? You are so illogical blinded by hate.
I think it is wrong to pay people for doing nothing. There are rules for compensating redundant workers and he should follow the rules but not keep paying them salaries when they are doing nothing.
Any issue, first thing you people scream is hate, meanwhile we know those whose bile is filled with hate and who have been killing their fellow countrymen for all sorts of flimsy excuses ranging from cartoons to beauty pageants to electoral loss.

On the Hell Rufai issue, nobody is saying you can't downsize, but follow due procedures and pay the exited workers their entitlements.


But the governor has adamantly refused to follow due process. Why?

This support for strongmen you guys keep doing, seems you never learnt from the case of the current callous and aloof president?

I was looking for a sugar mummy and Mr. Sean, who stays at Lekki Phase 2, gave me a woman in Port Harcourt that changed my life. She likes sex so much, but she pays good money.
I am giving this testimony to help fellow hustlers who are looking for sugar mummy that will help their lives.
Stop having sex for fun sake; make money from having sex.

The government is not ready to reduce many of their outrageous allowances and salaries but are very quick to downsize or talk about their inabilities to pay worker salaries. Am not against restructuring the civil services in Nigeria, but we must restructure the system that govern this country. Firstly all government employees including President and governors must be on minimum wage, scrap either the Senate or House of Rep, reduce their outrageous allowances, no medical tourism abroad, no educational tourism for governor's children, government must patronize locally made goods and invest heavily in Agriculture. With this, Capital expenditure will be greater than recurrent expenditure; more money for infrastructural development if indeed we are serious.

Be honest with yourself, considering the output of an average Nigerian workers
productivity vis a vis the national output.
Are the payment justified?

Yes I am ignorant,I agree, but a food for thought, can we continue like this as a nation?

correct the issue now is the political class is behaving as if there enough money. How do u explain 150 bn naira to run the National assemble? Or the 18m naira per rep or how do u justify the long car fleet a governor use. If there MUST be a cap on the percentage of revenue for civil servant salaries. There must be a cap for the executive too it must not be one sided .0.1percent must be the maximum for the executive too .

Ignorance means not having enough knowledge/information on the issue at hand. If you see it as an insult you are on your own.

Do you understand what labour laws say on retrenchment of workers?

Nobody says a governor should not prune the civil service, but follow due process and pay people what they are entitled to.

Stop encouraging lawlessness and tyranny, that's what got us in the current mess we're in.

It's like you people enjoy suffering and highhandedness.

Mordecai:
sad

While I agree with him that state money should not be used to pay for redundancy, I'd ask that he takes it a notch further, and ensure that those civil servants he intends retrenching get other employment and start paying taxes to the state. In other words, he should raise his IGR, because oil money from the south should not be used to pay for Kaduna's expenses.
Oil money should be spent only on crucial national activities like defence, security, and not for states to share. Same with gold mining revenue, solid minerals etc. Leave them for their owners to administer while they pay a fraction to the FG.

If he goes that way, we will believe he is an honest leader.
Kaduna is the 2nd state with the largest igr after Lagos. They dont depend on oil money. But you should know that

I disagree with you on this, I will give an instances in my state when there were short of staff in classroom, instead of employ fresh people, government look inward and ask people in LG payroll with education certificate to move to classroom as a teacher, infact KDSG led by Elrufai and most states government lack vision in this area, train this workers you felt redundant in a new skill and create wealth through them when they see that you are sincere.
