Hehehe...so this man na dokay....hehehe....The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has criticised former Senior Special
Assistant on Public Affairs to onetime President, Goodluck Jonathan,
Doyin Okupe over his comment where he advised governors to reduce their
workers in order to end their dependence on Federal Government bailouts.
President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba in a statement said such comment
from Okupe was “very much unlike one who is truly deserving of his
certificate from a medical school.”
Wabba, however blamed the country’s current economic situation on
corruption, unacceptable severance packages for ex-governors and their
deputies and failure to invest.
The statement reads, “Ordinarily, we would not have responded to
Doyin Okupe when he urged governors, in a statement few days ago, to
retrench civil servants as a panacea to irregular payment of salaries,
because we know him.
“In his jaundiced argument, very much unlike one who is truly
deserving of his certificate from a medical school, Okupe said,
‘virtually all state governments in the country have over-bloated civil
service.
“To underscore this point, he said between ‘2008 and 2009, Ogun State
received N2 billion monthly from the federation account and paid out
N1.8billion as staff salaries, wages and overhead costs’ to civil
servants not more than 50,000 in a state with a population of 5,000,000.
“In his view therefore it was ‘an obvious socio-economic absurdity
and incongruity where 10 per cent of the population was consuming 90 per
cent of the wealth of the state.’
“Okupe is bandying political statistics and this is neither good for
his health nor the health of those with whom he seeks to ingratiate
himself. We at the Nigeria Labour Congress believe in the equitable
distribution of the nation’s resources. We will not subscribe to a
situation whereby 10 per cent corner 90 per cent of the resources of the
state.”
he replied them......hehehhe
Okupe took to his twitter handle to respond to the criticisms he
received from the Nigeria Labor Congress NLC, for calling on state
governor to downsize so they can pay salaries with ease. See more of his
