Approve housing loans for them not car loans, about 90% of those workers lives in rented apartments and you want them to drive cars into their landlords homes, use such monies and fund housing schemes and monitor them to completion
ReplyDeleteYou are a sentimental ingrate. Let your Ogbeni pay salary first cos his workers are dying of hunger(stomach infrastructure badly needed) and you are castigating a man who has provided stomach infrastructure and is going ahead to provide other infrastructure s. Were!
DeleteMust he even anouce this, it is suppose to be part of all worjers right to loan for affordable houses and cars, but out of curruption in naija things like these are seen as luxery. He's anouncing like he has done wonder to the workers. It should be a standard practice accross the country, and it shoukd be done by banks with compulsorily with less than 5% interest for a strecth of 2 to 7 years depending on individuals income which also determine how much and individual xan get as loan.
