APC chieftain Bisi Akande’s prescribed solution to the unpaid salaries of government workers won’t sit well with Nigerian governors.
In the wake of the current economic challenges and the inability of some state governors to meet their statutory obligation to the workers, the former Acting National Chairman of the APC recommended a merger of states as to address the issue.
Since more than half of states in Nigeria are still owing workers’ salaries, a way out will be that they either cease to be states or merge with viable ones, he said.
He reiterated his belief in fiscal federalism, where resources are shared according to derivation and states live within their means.
To him, Nigeria should not have more than 18 states to allow for every federating unit to be self-sustaining.
