Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State has said he would not reverse the directive on the downward review of workers’ salary in the state, in view of the current economic meltdown affecting the country at large.

Al-Makura made this known on Wednesday when he played host to top government functionaries who paid him Sallah homage at Government House, Lafia.

The governor said the downward review has become imperative considering the dwindling revenue accruing to the state. He stressed that he could not continue to vote a large chunk of the state’s resources as pay for workers, who constitute just 1 per cent of the state’s population.

Al-Makura, who decried the high rate of unemployment in the country in general, said if workers’ salary were reviewed downward, opportunities would be created for unemployed graduates.

The governor called on workers to accept the new template in good faith and return to work in the interest of the peace in the state.

I am dedicating this FTC to Genea, she is such a sweet pwincess









The more i comment about the state of the nation, the more i burst into sheds

D guy above me sha are U using 5G?



We go survive

When ever these people want to downsize, the merge wages workers earn is the first place they look at

would the salary cut include his too, special assistants, the numerous personal assistants to the surplus special assistants


with the way inflation is orbiting the skies, tell me why corruption would not be rampant


its a big shame on the state govt that the home of solid minerals would wait for hand outs from the federal government to pay.

if the government was working, nasarawa should be in the league of big state

I blame the state for voting in a lazy dullard.

enjoy the change

This is the kinda news my CEO sees and makes him feels like king and talk rubbish against us..

On the one hand....he has no choice....this is the effect of living in a country dependent on revenues from selling raw materials whose prices you do not control.

When the price of things go down....revenues go down....and salaries too go down.

On the other hand....what has Mr Governor been doing all this time? No investment in industrial development? No plan to effectively tax people? No plan to develop the state's agric potential to be a big revenue earner?


Them governors are lazy.


This is another good reason for Nigeria to stop relying on revenue from exporting things whose prices we do not control.

Will he also review his cabinet salary as well, then cut down some irrelevant expenses on the state #selfish people

How much e deh pay before wey e wan cut

This is totally unacceptable and uncalled for. Bunch of lazy governors. Why not diversify? Have multiple source of income.

Wahala dey! I heard he is paying workers only 10% of their monthly pay. God help Nigeria

Selfish politicians. if you want salary review, why don't you start from yourself...
