You get 75k for doing nothing now and you still dey complain after collecting about 400k per month for 10 years with the nonchalant attitude most of you do the civil service work that you resume work at 11am drink tea for 1 hour, walk around gossiping for another 2 hours and then at close by 2pm to your private business without sitting at your offical desk for more than 1 hour to do government that gets you sone kickback and then you get access to car loan, house loan and retire with huge gratuity and you still dey complain. Maybe you should ask the people who worked at private companies how far and those who were more qualified than you but don't know anybody or money to get themselves fix into the government work the way you got in how far now.

The civil service is the center of corruption in Nigeria and gets the most money of the country. So stop collecting it if it is nothingto you.

it's not possible. You can't earn below the 18k, 30k or 70k minimum wage.

This is why I strongly advocate that civil service jobs in Nigeria should become part-time or the number of working days should be reduced to a maximum of 2 weeks per month. Nigerian civil servants are seriously suffering under the current economic reality in the country.

Most workers have their salaries exhausted in just the first week of receiving it, leaving them suffering until the next pay. Yet when you talk about increasing their pay, the government would not want to pay attention to that. Let's all put ourselves in the shoes of these workers. The current pay is unfair to say the least!

Therefore, if government cannot increase the worker's salaries substantially to an amount that can at least sustain them for the month then they should alternatively reduce the number of days in a month workers should go to work. This would enable these workers to utilise the free days to engage in other economic activities that can fetch them extra incomes. This is very important at this point in time because people are really suffering!

The business friendly, deregulation and privatisation focused Atiku did it before with Obasanjo, laying the groundwork for 16 years of economic growth, widespread prosperity, peace and security. He will do it again.

If it was left to Obasanjo, he would have continued his military era government ownership of businesses and peasant farming under Operation Feed the Nation, OFN.

SHOCKER: Atiku ‘saved Obasanjo from near bankruptcy’ before 1999

In the book, a copy of which was obtained by TheCable, the authors told of how Obasanjo beat late Alex Ekwueme to the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 1999 election.
>

Atiku was reportedly asked to join a team to Ogun to inform Obasanjo that he was going to run for the highest office in the land.

According to the book, “when Atiku and Obasanjo discussed the call to serve as president, Obasanjo said he could not be president because he was a nearly bankrupt ex-convict. Atiku, through General [Aliyu] Gusau, paid money into Obasanjo’s account to begin his financial rehabilitation.

“Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar helped out by granting him an unconditional pardon. Atiku put everything he had at his disposal to support Obasanjo’s emergence as the PDP presidential candidate and, when he joined the ticket as the vice-presidential nominee, continued to make his assets available to Obasanjo and the campaign.

His pension is paid from his RSA. As shown in the receipt.

His RSA balance is a reflection of the volume of his salaries over the years. It is no longer an obligation or duty of the govt.

If he exhausts it before he passes on, just as any other person that was in private sector, the payments will stop.

He is expected to have created atleast one more additional source of income for himself before he retired.

Hahahaha... Atiku will finally bury this nation if he manages to win. grin

He will first of all empty the national treasury to settle the election gbese of so many years.


...Anyway, he can't even win. Not when Obi and Kwankwaso are not standing behind him.
country he couldn't bury as a VP. Keep on allowing Obasanjo to f.o.o.l you people.

A level 8 civil servant earns less than 60k
no way. Except the governor of that state isn't following the federal government's template. Because a GL8 civil servant earns from 100k upwards.

1. if you are on band b to e, your light is subsidised

2. Also fuel at 300 naira per litre would cost the government nearly 30 trillion naira in subsidy payments at least annually. It would be 20 trillion of there is no smuggling.

Your budget for the year is 64 trillion naira. To pay for that government would have to borrow the equivalent of 20 trillion naira or more to fill the hole in the budget.

Did I mention that 29 trillion naira of the budget is borrowed money?

And if oil prices rise,the cost of subsidy could reach as high as 70 trillion naira

Again our budget is 64 trillion naira.

Don't wish for what cannot be done. Unless you want government to borrow more.
isn't Tinubu still borrowing despite all the subsidy money?
Who has borrowed more money than him in just less than four years in office?

The person has refused to disclose information that would have made for accurate information and meaningful contributions.
Firstly, the poster is a medical doctor and a senior medical officer going by his salary grade. Some one on CONMESS 14 doesn't earn less than 600k a month.
The federal government operates contributory pension scheme and this is the problem. But in states where the scheme is not applicable, people who retire at that grade level don't earn less than 300k in pension per month.
My point is: Medical officers earn the best of salaries in the Nigerian public service.
The op knew he will earn less in pension when he retires, why did he opt for retirement when he could have stayed to enjoy his salary
Re: There’s Nothing In The Civil Service - Pensioner Shares ₦74k Pension by Ehisjango1: 9:11pm On Aug 14
You spent barely 10yrs in service and your length of service and amount of monthly contributions, determine the value of your RSA balance at retirement - it is not magic. You didnt also disclose to us what you got as lump sum - pls do full disclosure. You can have more monthly pension if you had reduced the value of lumpsum that you collected. Pls stop being mischievous with information.

Yes, you are correct. Tinubu has borrowed more, because he and his government have not taken measures to reduce the borrowing, which is why he is not fit to be voted back into office come 2027.

The point is, bringing back subsidy means that the borrowing happening now would be tripled over. If you think it is bad, and it is bad, it would be worse with the restoration of subsidy

Normally 74k is supposed to be a big money, where we have a president that has the citizens at heart.
Instead of benefitting from the government, the APC government keeps removing every little help that cuts across every average citizen with their selective leadership.
If fuel was 300 naira per liter, and light is subsidized , you will enjoy the 74k with happiness.
It's a pity.
With all the hardship metted on Nigerians, the APC is borrowing shamelessly at record high rate.
I don't understand what some people are supporting.
Dont let anyone deceive, even if every dime is accounted for, paying generous pensions is unadfordable.

First of all, the civil service in all local governmenrs, states and even the the federal are bloated. Reduce the number by half, and it will still be bloated. Paying generous benefit to all retired staff will bankrupt all tiers of government.

Seccondly, Nigeria collects very little as taxes. Barely 10% of GdP. Meanwhile, Cote D'ivoire collects 27%. Tax take is too poor to provide generous pension.

It is very necessary that whatever pensions that are paid out are affordable to the gocernment as generous entitlement programs are a sutefire way to ruin a country.
