Let Us Remember The Nigeria Worker By Momoh Omokhigho
As we mark 63 years of Independence, let us remember the Nigerian worker and Pensioner.
When a civil servant retires in Nigeria, his salary stops, and he does not get his gratuity within 2 years. It takes even longer to put them on a monthly stipend.
You see how the system is skewed against the government worker?
Recall immediately subsidy was removed, the organised private sector increased salaries by as much as 35% unprompted.
I did the same, including Youth Corpers serving with us.
Why should government workers be expected to sacrifice and remain incorruptible when their wages can barely pay their basic bills?
As we know, the first law of nature is that of self-preservation.
To fight corruption and renew hope with assured prosperity, take care of our people.
I believe Nigeria will be great again!
