This was made known by the chairman of Nigerian Governors Forum and Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari.
He said on Thursday that irrespective of public condemnations of the plan, it would not be economically feasible to retain the same workforce and pay same amount of money.
In his words, "Nigerian governors will eventually reduce the federal minimum wage of N18,000 or downsize because of the current economic crunch".
He continues by saying, the funds allocated from the Federation account could no longer sustain the expenses of the states as the internally generated revenue was still below par in some states.
This position is anti-people and should not allow to stand, if these so-called governors can be taking home millions every month with their unnecessary aides taking over N300,000 as well and bent on reducing N18,000 as minimum wage for workers that share same market and amenities with them, it means that they are callous.
They have different aides that are not necessary, I think they should start by reducing them and also their take home.
The position of Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti, Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers and Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo by aligning with the workers cum masses should be commended by all and sundry.
With this their satanic stand, I don't see them creating jobs for already saturated unemployed class in Nigeria.
And tertiary institutions in Nigeria are turning out graduates on yearly basis.... What will be the fate of this class of people????
If Nigeria is not an animal kingdom, where everything goes, this so-called Chairman of Governors Forum should be made to step down from that office but the reverse is the case.
Governance is all about making the lives of your subjects (Citizenry) happy not the other way round.
Nobody forced anyone of them there, if they can't do our biddings again, the person should follow the advice of Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose by resigning.
The solution to the dwindling economic situation is to diversify our economy and cut cost of governance.
Having a fleet of cars in a convoy and a situation where Governor's cook has special adviser should be deleted.
Higher percent of Nigerian youths are jobless, this can't but be linked to the rise in social vices, though I'm not supporting vices but the fact must be told. Res ip sa loquitus
Better Nigeria is possible!
