Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi state.Mohammed spoke at the launch of the Nigeria Development Update report by the World Bank inHe said the revenues available to state governments are insufficient to address the challenges, adding that Nigerians are far from enjoying the Tinubu-led administration.
“There is a lot of pain and a lot of hardship that is beyond the subnationals. We didn’t bring these policies. The revenues that are coming are not enough to address the cost of infrastructure, to develop or improve livelihoods,” Mohammed said.“There is hunger. The policies on agriculture, on manufacturing, and so on, are not yielding the requirements.“We should go back to the basics.
“The report spoke about employment, wages. How many percent of Nigerians are even employed? Most of our people live in the informal sector, we should look at how we can make them self-employed.“We are at the risk of being lynched. They just stay in Abuja and be talking like the reforms are working. This is part of something else.”“I have been paying minimum wage even when it was done before. Now we are looking at our revenue. Everything should be done separately,” he added.
“Yes, we will implement the minimum wage, which you agreed to. But what is the volume of revenue we are getting? Can we do it? And if we do it, do we have anything left for infrastructure? What about power?Advertisement
