Rising from their meeting in Abuja yesterday November 18th, one of the governors, Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state who spoke with newsmen, said there was no way the country could continue with a situation where expenditure is more than income.
“We are faced with a situation where we either have to reduce cost through salary reduction or downsize. All these we don’t want to do but prefer to have a roundtable with the president, ministers, economists to look for means of getting out of this problem.”he saidOn his part, the Chairman of the NGF and Niger state governor Abdul’aziz Yari said the falling price of oil has made it difficult to pay the N18,000 minimum wage
“The situation is no longer the same when we were asked to pay N18,000 minimum wage, when oil price was $126 per barrel and continued paying N18,000 minimum wage when the oil is $41 per barrel and the source of government expenditure is from oil, and we have not seen prospects in the oil industry in the near future. We are coming together in a roundtable with President Buhammadu Buhari and his team of ministers, technocrats, economic experts to see how we can tackle our situation.”he said

So what will be the justification of Buhari borrowing 3 trillion Naira. Bunch of jokers called APC people. You are increasing budget to finance your fat salaries and allowances yet you want the common man to be retrenched. BUNCH OF JOKERS CALLED BUHARI AND APC.

The Nigerian workers would agree only when you TRUELY cut down on their frivolous spending.
God will punish all d pple dat voted APC and deir change.. Bonario ist... Gej increased nd set minimum wage to 18k now u want to reduce.. Wat abt d 50k for corpers it mit turn down to 5k fools while u pple keep taking hundreds of millions as security vote
Are they for all? To begin with,how much is even the salary of civil servants? Can't believe even in the FCT here ,some ministries are giving out peanut of 54k as salary to graduates.
Instead of slashing salaries of civil servants,how about cutting down their frigging expenses & allowances? The very day they try that bulshit,that's the very day I lose confidence in this regime.This isn't frugality, this is wickedness
Have you guys reduced yours? Slashed all these unnecessary offices you guys create? Stop all these irrelevant oversea travels you guys make God willl definitly visit you governors if any of you tries to tamper with any ones work or salary.
They should start from their own end. Leadership by example.
This is so so true, casual/contract/non indigenes workers are at the verge of losing their jobs! It's getting really serious! Ya Allah av mercy :(
Dis people didn't have conscience at all, how much are d civil servant earning dat dey want to cut down.
Governors here's an advise. Down size your salary first and then all those in government with you. If downsizing is still needed then you may downsize civil work pay by the same percentage (%) as you did yourself and those in government with you. This downsizing should be temporary for civil workers.
U ppl better bring down ur salary and leave regular civil servants alone
Assholes.
They should QUIT living LAVISH.
All na change.expecting more shange.Nonsense
Cut your own first
U see dis apc demons..dey control n gt kickbacks from contracts yet its d food of d poor man dey wanna take..idiots..dey cant tink how to generate revenues..d govt is d biggest employee of labor all around d world..is dis wat we bargained for??
This means no hope at all for further employment . Even those with recruitment letter r still waiting for posting . Diaris God datz all

Comment frm ROYAL PRIESTHOOD (royalpriesthood007@gmail.com)
Pls what happens to all the money FIRS collects Biko? Where is Abacha's returned loot? Governor, commissioner and councillors salary should be published and reduced to. Or maybe reduce d no...there was a time we had 19 states...so little money went round better
All senators, house of rep members, governors, ministers, d president shud downcut deir salaries.....these civil servants v nids,bills, families to take care of n u still wanna down cut it...stupid govt....thiis is definitely not the change we seek
Nigerians Nigerian Nigerians ..... if na you dey there ... na same same ... lets just pray a miracle happens and the price of oil increases ... then we can go back to our giant of Africa ways ( giant wey no dey .. produce anything.. evribodi na buy and sell .....
U are not a salary earner but u are definitely a heartless fool.what ever ur job is(probably wages from pushing trucks) when the people who are to employ ur services have their salary cut down we will see who will hire u.no matter what this will affect u too even though u live in jupiter.ewu....................linlin abeg post my comment sha.diaris God ohh
Bonari won't comment on this one, change my ass. I feel sorry for this country.
90 dollars a month is the minimum wage compare that to 10 dollars an hour in New York which is their minimum wage and the so called GIANT of AFRICA cannot pay that, complains of brain drain and wants people to earn nothing from extremely corrupt officials who do no know their worth because they lack the knowledge. Even homeless Americans on social welfare earn 778 dollars a month. In Ireland , people on social welfare earn 800 Euro a month. In the uk they earn about 500 pounds a month. However a worker earning 90dollars a month and pays more for fuel than Americans or British people is going to have more of his pay cut. If Nigeria does not force legislators to start earning what civil servants earn after all they are employed like civil servants , then this country is doomed !!!
Dis is d bitter truth, n we can choose to accept or ignore it, d TRUE CHANGE we are lukin for in dis country can only com tru a REVOLUTION. D present system is too corrupt to b reformed. It needs to b destroyed n rebuilt.
Ogbeni don already cut down salary for Osun
CUT DOWN URS FIRST...THIEVES!
#AnonymousIgbogal Sorry to. Bust your bubble oil price is going to fall some more because other countries that used to depend on our oil have upgraded to cleaner and cheaper sources of energy
