The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has said there are plans to review the wages of all political office holders in the country.
“What is a governor doing with hazard allowance? What hazard when the state is feeding him and his family? What is a governor doing with constituency allowance? The whole state is his constituency.Ngige said there was a need to review and streamline the wages and allowances given to political service holders, and the high wages earned by workers in certain government organisations.
He said the committee will look at the wage structure of the public service after the ‘consequential adjustment’ being done presently.“There are people who earn 300 percent of what others earn and they have the same degree. The minister noted that there are 12 wage structures in Nigeria and the government will “beam its searchlight” on them.In his reaction, NULGE president Ibrahim Khaleel raised concerns over the non-involvement of the union members in any of Nigeria’s standing minimum wage negotiating councils.
This is a good one from FGN, all these big allowances ought to have been trimmed, the economy isn't smiling, there's hunger in the land, and these people in government will be going home with more than enough!All tiers of government should be reduced.
