A lawmaker representing Borno South in the Senate has advised federal and state governments to slash the salaries of workers.
According to him, workers do not deserve to get their full salaries because they are not working fully.He, however, recommended that palliatives should be given to the workers to supplement the salary cut.He said, “Government should critically look at the personnel and recurrent expenditure which consumes about 70 per cent of the budget. Money should be pumped into capital.
“I think there should be more sacrifice, especially on the personnel side. How can you sustain the same personnel and overhead costs when even the work that you are doing… most people don’t go to the office now, and they are being paid fully for the month.
