A former Nigerian High
Commissioner to Canada, Chief Dare Bejide, has advised President Muhammadu
Buhari to ignore state governors and pay state civil servants directly.
According to him, the only way
the Federal Government can stop the governors from “mismanaging bailout is to
devise a legal means of paying state workers directly from Abuja.”
Bejide, a chieftain of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, gave the advice in an interview with journalists
in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state on Saturday.
He described as worrisome, a
situation where more than two-third of the states could not meet their
financial obligations to their workers.
He said, “Almost two-third of the
states owed their workers backlog of salaries.
“Unfortunately, it is like most
of the governors diverted the funds to execute various capital projects.”
