President Muhammadu Buhari has urged state governors who are currently owing salaries to, as a matter of urgency, find ways of liquidating all unpaid salaries of workers in their respective states. He also encouraged them to restrict themselves to projects that will meet immediate needs of the people, taking account of available resources. Buhari made the call on Monday while inaugurating the National Economic Council led by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. The council which has the 36 state governors and the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria as members is saddled with the responsibility of advising the President on economic affairs of the country. Buhari said, “The states are also encouraged to embark on projects that will meet immediate needs of the people taking account of available resources. “I therefore urge Council members to consider, as a matter of urgency, exploring efficient means of gradually liquidating all unpaid salaries of staff, which have brought untold hardship to thousands of families. “I would like also, as a former Governor myself, to remind us the need for neighbouring states to cooperate closely on projects such as interstate and feeder roads, soil erosion, desertification and other developmental programmes. “Our country is one and we who have the responsibility to run it must lead by example. As far as it is possible, there should be distance between politics and development programmes.”
