El-Rufai: Govt does not exist to pay onlysalaries, defends workers sack
The Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai has stated that his government is an institution organized to deliver public goods, not to only appease the interests of the persons employed to help deliver mandate.
He stated that his Government sacked four thousand workers at the council level because of the decreasing financial resources while stating that the job cuts will extend to political appointees.
In a statement released by media adviser Muyiwa Adekeye, he stated that the revenue from the Federal Government, from mid-2020, till now, has left little money to spend on other things that are the concerns of government, like healthcare, schools, roads and others, therefore leaving the state government no choice but to reduce the size of the public service since the public service requires much fewer persons than it currently employs.
