Buhari regime’s second recession: Cut governance cost, aid production, diversify, experts tell Federal Govt

Personnel costs, he added, accounted for 40 per cent of recurrent spending in 2020 while overhead was just three per cent. ‘’Cost of governance has generally been on the rise; actual MDA recurrent spending rose sharply from N3.61trn in 2015 to N5.26trn in 2018 and N7.91trn in 2020. This excludes the costs of government-owned enterprises and transfers to the National Assembly, National Assembly and the National Judicial Council.

Speaking further, the DG said in 2016, personnel cost was N1.88trn but it is now over N3trn, accounting for 31 per cent and 63 per cent of total spending and retained revenue, respectively in 2020.

find ur way cus dis criminals careless abt u

The global economic order we Africans are forced to adopt is the reason we cannot generate capital the way the western world does theirs and are relegated to foreign loans collection ,the west can afford to print currency as much as they want but we can't

They want to recover the money they spent of sharing rice during election

Any salary and allowance cut that does not reflect on the politicians and their appointees is reckless, wicked and anti people. And should be resisted by Nigerians.

That will be the elastic limit lady. E be like say nah you go scatter the country.

They should first cut the salary of our political leaders before that of the workers

In fact.the bicameral legislature we operate in this country is a waste of public fund,if they really want to cut cost,they should scrap the system and adopt unicameral legislature,more so,they should reduce the fat salaries political office holders collect, not civil servants'

The whole world is making life easy for their citizens but increasing their weekly wages while my country is undergoing salary slash , what a shame?

I think she is taking about Politicians salaries Not the real civil servants.

There work is it always to cut workers salary, what about the politicians salary ehh!!

NigeriaGov I beg Una start this cut from the top. Na beg o

Please, which salary is she talking about?

Exactly what Elrufai is trying to achieve in kaduna, hope this is not already calculated motive by these two relatives.

I guess this is the right step in the right direction. It's honestly long overdue. After cutting the workers' salary, I will advise they immediately increase the current costs of food too, to about 500% so that no country will be able to take the trophy of poverty...

Especially salaries of the people at the top echelon.

Let's start with that of the legislators and ministers.

Okay na another End SARS

True we already no

😂😂😂😂😂 Nigeria is gone.

Hmmmmmmm

😂😂😂😂

Have you cut down inflation and interest rates. Voodoo economist

Start with yours and those at the legislative arm of governance. Lead by example

Make the dem start with senators and top govt official Mk Una level Nigerian abeg 🤒🤒🤒🤕

Government should cut the salaries and allowances of the political holders, not that of the civil servants.

You don't need to cut only salaries, may be you cut their necks so that you people can be all alone. Why don't you cut govt expenses, political office holders salaries and allowances? Selfish and wicked people!

MADAM, BRING YOURSELF TOGETHER WITH OTHER PRESIDENTS PRESENTLY RULING NIGERIA, GIVE ME MY PORTION OF NIGERIA AND LET ME GO.

Cut nassnigeria senators & reps salaries & allowances to N500,000/monthly, no more sitting allowances, one car for 5years, aides from 20 to 2 & watch expenditure dwindle...it's not rocket science olodo FinMinNigeria

Thunder I command thee, I implore thee, Strike em down!

Don’t try it or think of that

Haaaaaa!!!! They don't even fear God!!!

They shd first cut the salaries of president, vice president, senators, house of rep and all anothers in governance and never plan to cut those stipends given to poor citizens.

Hey God! How did I ever come out in this part of the world?

Pls they should start from the senators and reps allowances

Ah don believe it

SAPA LOADING BMC BOYS will still repent last last when he touch them cause ponmo self go cost

They should cut their undeserved allowances instead.

Who’s salaries are they talking about ?

Salaries of the vulnerable and gullible(civil servants), but not of the vultures(political office holders). What a nation!

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I feel a nation wide protest loading!! This useless government must go

...civil servant's salaries that can't even rent decent apartments for them whereas politicians are carting away billions while doing next to nothing to get it and definitely not using it to help the country as well. Suffice it to say that 'it shan't be well with you

Really? All political office holders salaries shud be slashed by 60% What do they do that they are paid enormously? We are just not ready in this country

That will be a good development please let start from legislators and ministers. Thanks.

They should be specific with who’s salary will be reduced, all these politicians are chronically overpaid

But APC members were celebrating the increment in the salaries of pensioners

The question is whose salary? If it is the civil servant at lower levels, then our leaders are fools over again. If any salary is to be reduced, those of the house of rep & assembly including the givernors should be reduce. I thought dey were supposed to b servants to d pple😔

Finance minister = pain, sorrow, agony altogether. Useless people, start from NASS and member of ur clueless cabinet.

Please start from the political class

Madam biko this topic you raised isn’t a rocket science o, you gan gan how many SAs & PAs to you have. Do away with wastage, duplicated ministries and reduce the cost of governance. But for where? Ghost workers nko, let’s not even go there 🤦🏾‍♀️

That will be good for all...

But politicians will still go home with big bags of money right?

I'm really sorry!!!! Nothing left

Who's salary will the FG cut, that of the civil servants or that of the executive and legislators?

Pls and pls don't do that, reduce the funds of capital projects not expenditure.

Cut salaries of those on minimum wage or the pay & benefits for Ministers, NASS members, Political appointees?

The utter cluelessness of this government is appalling.

They just want to cause more hardship and poverty for civil servant. Inflation rate is soaring high. The current salary being paid to civil servant cannot cannot sustain them for a month, yet you are planning to reduce it. Make I get visa comot for this Naija

Whose salary?

Your salary or workers salaries? Is the salary the solution to the problem of Nigeria? Just asking

Why is it only salaries that FG can cut? Why? Why can't FG cut senators and representatives bogus pays? Nigeria is a joke indeed! Madam Minister, kindly go and learn your economics and not salaries.

Long overdue, cut, budget of NASS and salary of politicians.

If salaries of all the ruling class, both elected and appointed fine and good. Not the take home of an ordinary citizens that doesn't take them home. Reduce the salaries of the President, VP, Senators, Ministers, NASS Members, Governors and their Deputies.

May?

Salaries of who? Better now be the masses cz their salary isn't even enough!

Can't u people print another money now for salaries 🤣🤣🤣

But they are printing more money to be shared among them selves

Start with those in the Senate and House of Rep!

Cut salaries to reduce governance cost when NGRSenate & nassnigeria are still sucking Nigeria dry with their unimaginable earnings?

How do you reduce the cost of governance without eliminating the unnecessary humongous overheads and obvious leakages in the system? How This madness can’t continue forever.

make we hear whose salaries first. Poor civil servants!!!

Which salary again?

Una papa papa there 😡

Merge the River Basin Development Authorities with the NDDC. Their functions are the same.

Something like this. With these cow head in power, Nigeria nor go reach next election.

Chai every scatter. Things cost una won cut the just increased wage, what a failed govt.

Only cut national assembly salaries and not workers salaries. They dont earn enough. National assembly earn more than the whole nigerian workers

And you all want people to stop fraud with this logic?

Kuku Stop giving workers salary joor

Will dy reduce the working time?

Cut salary to pay as ransome to bandits.

Nobody should touch my 33 Naira o

If this is true, then you wonder what happens to the over-bloated salaries of our political Office holders.

Let's that's from the president himself. No more Medical tourism to UK.

Let them start from Mr President and all the executive arms of government, ministers if they are serious

Eferi werey

See these bastards

If government has eventually come to see the need to cut the uneconomical emoluments, not just salaries,of political office holders & legislators,it would do governance & the nation well. They have been a drain pipe,weakening channel of development & hardship on the citizens.

Dare not with skyrocketing inflation! Better reduce the salaries of 'elected' officials and all that uses escort of more than one vehicle.

It won't happen because MBuhari doesn't have the ball and the resultant effects will bring down our entire political contraption.

Another extended strike period. Brace brace people...

Which people's salaries again

What happened to cutting the salaries of senators and ministers? Only their collective salary for a month can fund the economy for 8 months...

Good idea, however, not the salaries of civil servants but politicians

The punishment this government would receive cannot be mentioned on Earth.

The same one they are owing? Jokers!

Are they just discovering that they have taken too much loan?! well then, they better start from the NGRSenate and the green floor...

Na only salary? Common sense should inform you on the need to cut the unnecessary political appointees and useless legislator's remuneration.

Lol. What happened to the salaries of the senators and ministers ? Why workers? Well, the handwriting on the wall is clear .

When a former CBN gov exclaimed few years back that d NASS members alone guzzle a third of our national budget hence an urgent downward review of their emoluments,he was shouted down and called names. Today, the imminent financial meltdown Armageddon has come home to roost.

Saw this today

It will be unjust,unfair and highly unwarranted to subsidize d financial rascality and irresponsibility of d elite with d marginal comfort of the penurious Nigerian worker who lives on crumbs.The NASS,the executive and other top govt functionaries sud bear d reduced cost burden.

Salaries are not the problem. It's the allowances. Any plans to slash these as well?

Cost of terrorism and banditry is what is driving this up.

Eeyah!!!

AminuLee Will you also cut the dollar to suite the formal salary payout?

Una be thieves, u want to cut salaries yet u people are living in opulence. Cut d cost of governance, cut buhari's cost of overspending

They better start with national assembly

Remove the upper chamber, all the ex governors have enough money.

I believe salary for stupid senators and rep members including ministers

Cut which salaries, shey senators/Hon or civil servants?

Recipe for industrial strike action by Nigeria worker's. Guess you guy's can't print money from CBN anymore. Failed government.

I see something strong is about to happen hmmmm I think dey wanna see crazy

Yeye dey smell o

Salaries of Civil servants or politicians monthly take home........?

Hope the cutting of salary is starting from the top,e.g,the house of reps,legislators,etc

No more money to steal 🤠🤠. Hahaha ndi one Nigeria.

Just wow!

The National assembly should be paid for per sitting. It's a useless arm and a rubber stamp for that matter

Its amazing that you just came up with this. Nigerians have been advocating this for years.

This is wickedness. Things are already hard for the citizens, this will lead to more crimes and insecurity in the country.

Everybody go feel am... street no go contain una for protest😂😂🤣

E mo gbo werey

Start with the NASS and the the many unproductive positions created to share appointments. The only way to sustain an unviable structural arrangement. But as Achebe famously said, it’s like the centre can no longer hold.

Starting from top offices salaries and allowance 🤔🤔🤔

NGRSenate NGRPresident hope yours will be slashed too

africaupdates I have problem with 'may' in that statement. Underline 'may'

dondekojo Do whatsoever pleases you, we the Nigerian people gave up on this government long ago. You obviously chose not to do needful because you want to hand Nigeria over to your King's maker

Evil again!!! But Why does FG derive joy in frustrating Nigerians. If they have sense they shud know who to cut their salaries but they can't. The common man wud be their victims. And I hope you will use cutlass to cut your own aminazainab2495

Una own

What happen to Orosonye report ? Very unserious administration, you becoming a joke 👎🏾

How did we get here? Who did this to us? 😭😭😭😭

dondekojo Whenever the tension is hot they know what to tell Nigerians that will calm them down... Classified propagandist that is the best way to describe every actors in this administration.

dondekojo Wahala be like Nigeria 🇳🇬

Well maybe the civil servant busy at work during endsars will come out and protest now... he go touch everybody...make we no just die 🙏

But they will not cut the cost of governance,the fleets of cars the politicians are using from presidency to local govt,their wardrobe allowances even their own salaries but that of the workforce. 🤔🤔 Who do Naija 🇳🇬 this thing 😭😭😭

africaupdates Cut waste and corruption not salaries.

An olodo will surely employ another olodo

D only salaries that need to be cut is that of d executive and legislators! I hope that’s what ur going to do?

Salaries of public servant or civil servants

The surest thing to do is implement the Stephen Orasanye report.

Worst government ever, shame

What happen to bogus salaries of political office holders ? E.g éyin senators, ministers etc. We warned them not to gv them 2nd term but they wouldn't listen.

Una dey ment oooh with the rise of foodstuffs and other essentials you're reasoning this nonsense, salary that's barely enough kai

A certain side will be immune to this salary cut

Not again. Not freaking fuvking again? What have we done?

Workers abi politicians

But your fat checks still remain intact right? Thunder will fire all of you! One by one.

You mean salaries of political office holders and legislators. As matter of fact, legislators should be volunteers.

Maybe they are tired of printing money ...there is trouble

Cut salaries of political officers, reduce the number of redundant and idle P As. Is that hard to do. Evil people in power

I don't know why I don't like dis lady

Romeo4k Long overdue.

Salary of who? Public servants or the house of reps and senate plus executive arm? Useless govt.

Start with the Executives and Legislatures.

Una dey pay senator's pension as former governor's, come dey pay them sala and allowances. Reduce their sala and cut off the pension una no spend much ooo cos na them consume the money wey dey this country.

This government will crumble,they are in crisis.

The business centre called Nigeria needs to be dissolved

😂 😂 😂

This FG is stupid and senseless

Senators and house of rep members should lead.Leadership by example

You people should arrest this woman o our money don finish for her hand

Let them start from the senate and house if reps, if they can't do that, they should never try to reduce the lower and average salaries.

This is to show how wicked this administration is...how can they even think this in this hard time The president and federal legislators get paid jumbo salaries yet they want to cut the tiny money that civil servants earn...

Go to national assembly and FEC were you are a member reduce by 60℅ govt will seen the gravity of cash flow

FG una well done oh..

Strikes go happen soon o

Cutting all sorts and forms of Allowances will be more like it, Madam minister

They should start from the house of senate

Lori iro ni gbogbo ee

Instead of cutting salaries of the useless ministers, incompetent president & yeye VP, those over fed pigs in the NASS, they are targeting innocent civil servants. Thieves!

No ooo, pls create more MDA. Home economic mistress

Abeg dey tagged them to know what they're doing is not good

Don't you think you need one of these cute customized 3D Wallclocks on your wall? Price: N8000

This country is a huge joke!

School girl finance minister!

I hope the salary cut is for the politicians salary & allowances, especially the senators. And not the civil servants that are still battling with the little you pay them in this economic hardship and inflation.i hope u wouldnt want to push more people into banditry & kidnapping

Cut estacodes; cut Executive allowances, abolish the two-tier foreign exchange regime and up rate MDBs can pay on domiciliary accounts and FGN will be awash with money. Leave salary of public servants alone.

Salaries wey never reach

Salaries of Senators right?

Must u destroy the country completely before Ur tenure finish

Olé

Start with the cabinet members, Senators, House of Representatives amongst others

When will you people decide to cut down your ridiculous salaries and crazy allowances? Nigeria can no longer afford to fund ur expenxive lifestyles, isnt that clear enough?

Still trying to figure out who is the biggest liar between this woman,lie muhammed and Garbage sheu.Those were the top three liars Apc relied on any time,any day anywhere.

A country where politicians prey on their subject. Useless set of people

Na desmond eliot cos this shiit

Start from the senators pls

Is it not the same civil servants that were registering as APC members... They think becoming a card carrying member will exclude them from the cluelessness of this government...😂😂😂

And yet the prices of things willing remain untouched, unchanged and uncut And you still think Nigeria is not a joke

Cash-strapped government as a result of not being able to create wealth rather waiting for egg nest saved by another government. Like if your father didn’t save money for you when you grow up you won’t hustle to create wealth for yourself?

Naija never ready at all... Drama everywhere in Naija

Salary wey never reach before😳 E no go better for una government 🖐

na now day break. Anyway when ever a person wakes is his morning.. Too bad na 6:21pm. we dey say Good Morning.

Everything indicates that the Nigerian Govt is not serious about delivering good governance, if they are to reduced the cost of governance, how about having per time lawmakers, only one chamber and cut the frivolous allowances they pay themselves

I hope salaries for reps and senate included for fairness

Okay let's start from the legislators and ministers.

NIGERIA IS DONE

MalamAbba_ your talk dey come true. Very soon we may work and the government will beg us and blame PDP for not paying monthly salary.

Turenchi

You want to see crazy😡😡😡

Why not cut down Allowances of Senators and House of Rep

Same govt that approved billions for renovation of the nat'l assembly, maintains fleets, flies out for health care. Lol. In conclusion, elections have consequences

The reality is that current overhead is unsustainable with dwindling revenue. Ghost workers and over bloated work force . The NASS should cut down on wages also and reduce the number of support staff.

MAY.....

This government is full of hypocrisy. They have been recruiting people through the back doors despite the high cost of governance. How much is d salary they want to cut? Why won't they consider reduction of political aides & other offices? What happens to bogus NASS expenditures

Don't cut salaries of workers, cut senators and ministers allowance instead, wicked people

Does it include yours, other ministers, the senators, reps, governors etc?

Elections have consequences

Why not remove salaries and allowances of all Senators and those of ministers, let only those who are willing to serve without pay become ministers and national assembly members.

dailyboxng So whose salaries will they cut, civil or public servants?

Salaries of civil and public servant or politicians salaries, be precise.

You guys need to starts from yourselves first, thieves

Let's start from u.... And Ur co Politicians 😁

Nigeria is bankrupt. Buharinomics. World recession heavyweight champion.

May?

Krichokrichokrichochocho!!!
