Most Poeple on this forum are blocked heads. They really don't know what productivity is.
Don't waste you battery please.

Basher8583:
Would you keep redundant staff in your payroll if it were your personal business?

People like you on Nairaland are quite unintelligent

eedimo:
If most governors would be bold to do what this man intends to do, there would be increase in productivity among the workforce.
How do people feel when the get paid for doing nothing?
Let me see the first nincompoop who would quote me just to disgrace his family.

chrisblack:
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.

TheRealestGuy:
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.

Una go still spend many more years for wilderness be that.

MrHighSea:
Nigerians are highly sympathetic and emotional when it comes to issues like this.
The hatred they have for him and his loved ones might triple.
We know the truth but are not strong-willed to takes action and anybody that does is tagged wicked.
There are redundant staff at the same time some departments are understaffed. why should secretaries in hospitals be more than Doctors and Nurses combined? why should security and messengers in a university be more than Technologist+lecturers?

He should've assessed other routes of relieving the workforce of "sit and talk" staff.

Maybe placed an embargo on employment, forceful retirement of those close to retirement and paying them their entitlement, check for ghosts.

Even in our little capacities to make things work, you'll receive letters signed with green ink tire.

I gave up, let things keep falling apart.

Nauttyprof:
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.

Coldshisha:
Mr El Rufai, Kaduna State workforce are people's father , mother , brothers and family not just mere statistics


Yes El Rufai is right, and NLC are equally right

But covid 19 economy requires common sense and kindness, not hasty rash behaviour

omohayek:
No, El Rufai is right, and the NLC is completely wrong. There is simply no justification for a tiny percentage of the entire state's populace benefiting from most of the state government's revenues, even as that tiny sliver mostly sits around doing nothing but gossiping, embezzling and engaging in absenteeism. You conveniently ask us to only think of the relatives of the redundant civil servants, while completely ignoring the far larger number of ordinary citizens who lose basic healthcare, education, roads, streetlights, clean water and much else to pay these lucky few to sit around on their backsides.

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.

bhella10:
Stubborn African dwarf goat.

Promismike:
Downsizing workers when the rate of unemployment is already high and is getting worse.

Do these people want Nigerians dead before they can see that people are really suffering in this nation?

Coldshisha:
You are very ignorant of how the economy of a civil servant , allocation dependant state like Kaduna works

13 billion wage bill ultimately goes to traders, farmers, land Lords and Kaduna indegenes... Go to Kaduna markets to confirm this during month end

It's a shame to call a worker redundant when you can utilise them better to make health care sector, education and basic infrastructure better

During Economic recession US and China would rather hire more workers to build infrastructure, housing and new cities for future just to get people paid and stimulate the economy

signature2012:
In two years time,El rufai will be bygone.Posterity will surely judge and catch up with him.

malware:
Yeah granted, what they're asking is that if you must throw them out, pay them their entitlements, simple. How would you feel after working for 30 years, someone will just suddenly sack you and refuse to pay you a dime, when you have outstanding benefits in form of gratuity and pension?

bdon123:
Oga u are very wrong.El rufai sacked so many teachers without pay off.So far over 40000 had been sacked by el rufai.He now replaced half d sacked teachers wit graduates on contract basis meaning no employment letter or pention or gratuity at end of service.mind u m from Kaduna State n our family members are affected not urs

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

The more workers, the more income the state would be generating

kunle75:
I will not dignify this argument with more responses again, until the governor make it public that the retrenched workers won't be paid their entitlement after been disengaged before I can say otherwise. The outcry looks like a pre-emptive public response to one of the governors characters but in the meantime I personally will give him the benefit of the doubt on his intended plan's.
But most government of the world are yielding from hiring more workforce but rather employing more tech in delivering governance and providing enabling environment.

eedimo:
Oil dey your head.
Visit my LG secretariat, you would understand what this man is trying to fix.
Poeple just loitering around with nothing to engage them. Yet the cry for increase in pay without asking for what to engage them.
Most Nigerians are damn wicked
