What's whopping about the pay?

Meaning Tinubu has failed to lead the governors by good example, this is the first time in the history of Nigeria that states will be paying more than the federal government, and you people wonder why the country is the way it is and start blaming governors, by standard many governors have done better than Tinubu as president.

He's building road infrastructures in Abia State. He's building Airport too
How many workers has he employed to make government services and public utilities available to everyone?

Is the ratio of public schools in Abia state more than 5% of the total schools, or less than 5%, such as the situation in the state of excellence after 26 years of progreThief governance?

Ratio of public to private schools in Lagos State is one to 22 ― Commissioner
September 4, 2022

The Lagos State government has said the ratio of public to private schools at both primary and secondary school levels in the state is one to 22.

The state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, gave the revelation in her remark at the 2022 edition of the Total School Support Seminar Exhibition (TOSSE) held at Oregun in Ikeja between Thursday and Friday.

Yes he is, by taking more loans than previous presidents after removing subsidy to save $84 billion and make petrol super expensive along with other things in the country.

He is showing them how to prioritise personal luxury over government services and public utilities provided by an adequate number of well paid civil servants.

chisomkachy:
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.

The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.

Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.

The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.

How many civil servants are on the payroll of Imo state, compared with other states?

What level of service are they providing in water supply, for example? Is it any better or worse than the situation of Lagos State?

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

Has inflation not wiped out the nominal increase from the $84 billion subsidy savings?

How much hardship is this subsidy removal and higher petrol price causing?

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Nope!

Tinubu has actually taken state governments from economic bondage and utter collapse.

Gone are those days when the FG actually had to bail out States just in order to pay even salaries.

This is a positive manifestation of the removal of petrol subsidy that was wreaking havoc on the economy by shady characters.

If this trajectory is sustained, in the near future things can even get better.

The problem is how to trickle the benefits down to the ordinary man on the street by bringing down the prices of goods and services.


Once this is achieved, Nigerians would have cause to smile.

Minimum wage paid across each state of the federation shows State governors are now paying more than the federal Government.

It's a thing of joy that the States are now paying more than the federal Government.

Our various governors must also do better in Education, Infrastructure, Health and Security since they are now receiving more allocation.

Not accurate. Didn't reflect the increment by Ebonyi and Imo state governors.

Outdated data

In that case, the State Governments should be held accountable for failing to meet the aspirations of the people of their individual states.

Government is collective (federal, state and local).

For far too long, attention has been focused solely on the FG.

As the FG is doing its bit in trying to uplift the welfare of the generality of Nigerians, state governments must be co-partners in this task.
