The Borno South district Senator Ali Ndume, has called for salary slash for civil servants who no longer go to work due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ndume, a former marketing teacher of Ramat Polytechnic who now serves as the Senate Chairman committee on Army, gave this suggestion when he spoke at a media briefing in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital today.
He expatiated that despite the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, the state and Federal government are spending more to sustain personnel and non personnel costs.
The teacher turned politician and law maker was of the opinion that those who are not going to work now should be given palliatives and paid less in order to save the government unnecessary cost of services which were by the way not rendered.
