Eniola Akinkuotu and Amarachi Orjiude, AbujaThe Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, says there is no plan by the Federal Government to lay off government workers.
She said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , had said repeatedly that no worker would be sacked. The minister, however, said the government would encourage people to leave government jobs by giving them incentives.She added, “Mr President doesn’t want to disengage staff. That is what he has directed from the beginning of his administration. He also directed that we pay salaries. The Federal Government has never failed in paying salaries and he said we must always pay pensions.
“And also we will be able to come up with incentive packages to retrain people and redeploy them in some areas where they are useful. For example, we still have a very high need for teachers so we can retrain people and send them to teach but also incentive packages to exit. Again, that is also money. If you want people to exit you have to pay them.
Merging to relief some of their duties abi but not sacking.
How can you merge companies/agencies and not sack or reduce the number of staff? These people are full of fooling the gullible.
Can anyone believe she is occupying same office as ngozi iwella I don't even know her name
Flip flop....
