President Buhari Berates Govs Over Unpaid Salaries,Says ''I Wonder How The Workers Feed Their Families''

The president said: “How can anyone go to bed and sleep soundly when workers have not been paid their salaries for months.

“I actually wonder how the workers feed their families, pay their rents and even pay school fees for their children."



President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed concern on the growing complaints and agitations by workers in states over unpaid salaries and allowances, in spite of his administration's interventions.


Buhari spoke at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday while receiving a representation of governors led by the chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari of Zamfara State.

On the delegation included the governors of Ondo, Kebbi Bauchi, Jigawa, Kwara and Akwa Ibom as well as the deputy governor of Ebonyi State.

The president, according to a statement by his spokesman Mr Femi Adesina, said the plight of workers in the states needed urgent attention as many could barely survive.

President Buhari said the Federal Government and state executives would need to work closer together to ameliorate the situation of workers across the country.


He told the governors that two out of the three-pronged focus of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to secure the country and fight corruption had received some commendable reviews by the people.


President Buhari noted that the challenge in payment of salaries in states had taken a toll on the people.


He said he had instructed all government agencies to comply with the Treasury Single Account in order to ensure more transparency and prudence in accounting for the revenues of the government and the sharing of entitlements with states.


The president said: “How can anyone go to bed and sleep soundly when workers have not been paid their salaries for months.

“I actually wonder how the workers feed their families, pay their rents and even pay school fees for their children."


“God has been merciful in hearing the prayers of his servants so the rainy season has been good, you can ask the Kebbi State governor on this, and our enormous food importation bill has gone down,’’ Buhari stated.


Yari was quoted as saying that the various interventions by the Federal Government, include the bailouts, were judiciously utilized by the states.

He told Buhari that the governors inherited backlog of unpaid salaries and huge debts portfolios on assumption of office.

“We are concerned with the situation in our states, and we are trying our best to manage the resources,’’ the governor said.

He said the bailout funds, and part of the fallout from the London-Paris Club that had been received by the states were properly expended to alleviate the plight of workers, but more had to be done.

The NGF chairman commended Buhari's efforts in improving the economy, assuring that the states would continue working with the Federal Government to improve the livelihood of workers and all Nigerians.

      Oga Okowa will not pay salaries, will not do any project in warri, any uduaghan project he abandons and totally forgets it, and he expects workers to clock in and out every day, I keep wondering how government workers survive,especially man and wife that are in service.


      Warri looks so old and abandoned, no street lights, very bad roads, no good drainage, all traffic lights are not working, everything is just there.

  7. Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom state.I know you have been paying primary school teachers salaries at least at the first week of the new month but please do pay the 4 years leave grants that is being owed to them. Its not just to make them fill forms upon forms and using that method as delaying tactics.

    Those of you shouting is because of the coming elections,have you asked the governors how many tranches of bailouts they have received.
    I only pray & hope that hate and bias will not get the better of your thinking faculties.

  13. Buhari is a stupid hypocritical idiot. When he was squandering Aso Rock Clinic money on his medical vacation of how many months did he think of nigerian workers? God punish Buhari the bloodsucker.
