During his broadcast yesterday, President Jonathan said he's slashed the basic salaries of all political office holders in the Executive Arm of government by 25% and assured that there will be cuts in others areas, including government travels, and the scrapping of government departments with duplicating functions.
Some of the things he said...
· 25% cut in basic salaries of political office holders in the Executive Arm.
· Scrapping of agencies and departments with overlapping functions as recommended by a soon to be presented review report.
· All Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) must cut overhead expenses immediately.
· Funds saved from subsidy removal must be spent prudently on national infrastructure, power supply, transportation, irrigation and agriculture, education, healthcare, and other social services.
Is this what Nigerians are asking for? Return the Fuel Subsidy and allow Nigerians rest!
