NLC Urges FG to sack Sanusi as CBN governor

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has called for the immediate sack of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in a statement signed by its president Abdulwaheed Omar.

“It is obvious Sanusi was never qualified for the office of CBN governor in the first instance, and he must be asked to leave the office as he has shown more than enough incompetence and contempt for the Nigerian people”.

“We see in Sanusi an agent of death that must be defeated and crushed before he further destroys the Nigerian economy”.

Mr Omar accused the CBN chief of not implementing policies that have benefitted the Nigerian people and the economy.

“Since assumption of office as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, all Sanusi’s major pronouncements have been either directly anti people or ruinous to the Nigerian economy”.

“And we need to ask Sanusi how much work he has successfully done in the CBN to reposition it to contemporary realities? He is surrounded with countless aides that are obviously not required by a man who believes that the Nigerian economy runs too high on overhead cost”.

The NLC also berated the bank chief’s call for the scrapping of the third tier of government claiming it is a pivotal part of the federal system of government that Nigeria is operating.

The NLC further canvassed for increased funding of local governments to enable “them function properly as required under a federal system”.

The statement also said “The truth, which Sanusi as a beneficiary is running away from, is that corruption has become a real burden on the economy and it should be the only priority item on the table of any serious government. Even if you sack all the workers in Nigeria, any amount saved from that will be stolen and the culprits will walk in freedom”.

NLC talking about corruption, Muchechechechechechechecheche

Sack him for saying the truth? Now let's talk about corruption.

Firstly, one of the things that drives corruption in Nigeria is a lack of information technology and management systems. These tools provide computerised controls that make it difficult to breach even when breached there is a trail that could easily tell you what has gone wrong without much stress unlike human implemented controls.

Now how do you implement an Information management system when some of the workers in our MDAs do not even know how to use a computer and they are meant to deliver service in the 21st century! Try implement one and you will be called names for attempting to block "money for the boys". I can bet my life that Nigeria's Ministry of Works and Transport does not have a management system for implementing projects. In the 21st century, what nonsense!

I am from the Niger Delta, now what do you need Ministry of Niger Delta and NDDC for? If there is an efficient Works Ministry, most of the projects carried out by those organisations will be done by the Works Ministry. What do you need a Police Affairs Ministry for? What is the use of Civil Defense Corps? And all these useless organisations take funds that should be put to development.

I put this on the earlier thread, please read on.

ballabriggs: Why not? Workers that come to work by 12 pm and leave for home by 3pm, what assets do they manage? Some of them don't do anything in those offices, they only wait for contracts to be awarded and then go after the contractor for their share. We spend 70% of our budgets on them and they end up stealing the remaining 30% which should go to the entire population.

A government has a budget deficit, bulk of which is made up of consumption and you think the government should not implement cost cutting measures? It continues to issue debts to finance this budget of consumption whilst leaving out areas of high priority. Who is going to repay this debt? Generations unborn that have not been left with anything on ground? So they face a double task of repaying debts incurred by a greedy future generation whilst struggling to provide social services which the future barely laid down for them. How selfish!

I hear people talk trash of high interest rates and inflation here everyday. How do you drop interest rates when government borrowing is on the increase? So it means with the budget of consumption, government has succeeded in crowding-out the productive sectors of the economy whilst not also providing needed social amenities.

Fact is to implement change, there are hard decisions that need to be made. Some of the processes that these civil servants implement are of low complexities but of high value to development. For such a process, you automate it, implement information management systems to take over these tasks thus freeing up finance for development.

Now go to an office in the ministry and see people running around with paper files. Why do you need such waste? Automate the process, free up initial finance for development and as we grow as a people the macro-environment becomes more complex again and there will be a need to get more people to work in the civil service.

The present state of the civil service is a drain on the economy. Does Ebele have the political will to implement a change programme? That is the big issue!

By implementing a change programme, you are improving structures, you are improving systems, you are improving processes. This 5000 naira advert wey Seun dey put here everyday dey collect insults join, he will make billions if Nigeria had a robust information management system. FACT! All these website developers wey dey Nairaland dey cry everyday say frustration wan kill them will make more money. Na them go dey design processes within those departments. Most Nigerian MDAs no even get website not to talk of up-to-date websites because the people there prefer the old order.

How do you do things the old way and develop? Change and continuous improvement is what drives societies.

It is becoming clearer by the day that the present crop of NLC leaders only believes in making noise just to be noticed without taking a pause to consider if it is on the right path or not, this was the same dude who claimed the NLC will ground the whole economy if total subsidy removal is effected as if the country have any other choice.

What Sanusi said was the home truth and nothing but the truth, how can the country make appreciable progress when 70 per cent of its earnings is used in paying salaries and entitlements of civil servants? How can proceeds from our major source of revenue be used to service recurrent expenditure by paying salaries and allowances when the country should be thinking of enhancing its productivity base?

Is the NLC president blind not to know that the high number of political office holders in all tiers of governments and their counterparts in the civil service are just like drain pipes with next-to-nothing contribution to the economy? How then can we continue to spend on things that cannot create wealth?

This is the import of Sanusi's message but which seems to be lost on NLC, a compact and less expensive system of government that will greatly reduce overhead cost is what the country need, especially at this time.

This slowpoke sanusi outta frustration wants d govt to sack 50% of its workforce for flimsy excuses.....is he (sanusi) not aware dat corruption is d bane of our progress and not d number of people on d govt payroll? How populous is nigeria compared to india and china to warrant govt to start sacking its workforce.....sanusi shud be bold enough to say d obvious....'' govt is corrupt and cant fight corruption with sincerity of purpose'' and the not unthinkable excuses he sighted.....

RUBBISH!!! RUBBISH!!!
I NEVER LIKE THE GUY WITH HIS FUNNY TIE...I no from d beginning dat he is up to no good..d damage has already been done..he has wiped off south east and south west frm d banking sector.replacing dem with his cohorts..and he establish one sick bank dey call islamic banking..I neva c d usefulness of d bank since den

Movie Title: Waketh thhe up from thy slumber?





*mount zion tinz

Toothless Bulldogs!!!

Even Sanusi has more credibility when compared with the NLC monkeys. Omar and Esele would never realize the damage they did to themselves by reneging on their pact with the people during the fuel subsidy protest.

As for Sanusi, let him stay on cos as it appears, he is now cooperating with Ngozi. His mission is to deal with the onibanjes and akinyomis who strangled the banking sector. By the end of his tenure, we shall see more equity and fairness in the industry. Oh and please Sanusi don't forget to hand over to Soludo when you are done. Aboki very loyal Mallam

Couldn't have been said better.

The civil servants are the major problem.

They are the vessel of curruption.

They are paid 70% and they steal the remaining 30%

No politician can steal money without the civil servants.

In the local Government the chairman does not even sign cheque.

Send them home.

I'm surprised d NLC is jst realising this. Well, its not too late, d earlier d better. He brought abt massive sack in d banking industries at a time d banks were abt d most rapid employer of labour, spreading 2 virtually every area of d country, workin in partnership wit anyone who had good business proposals. Today, banks hav lost many staff and its hard 2 render assistance 2 d unemployed wit good business initiatives. Bank loans are constantly on d rise, no thanks 2 one man- Sanusi. @ a time he claimed banks were covering up sharp practices, but wat was obvious 2 an ordinary Nigerian was expansion and employment- wealth circulation. Today, we hav only papers 2 certify dat d banks are doin well with no visible indication 2 attest 2 dis. He proposed removal of fuel subsidy deceiving d likes of Oweala that it is our problem wen really its obvious is corruption. I'm still of d opinion dat d entire staff of d Nigerian Gov are inadequate because there's still so much yet 2 b done in dis country. It will take a creative mind and strong will 2 quash corruption 2 do dis, put d wrk force 2 tangible use and engage even more Nigerians and not sack.

Never liked d guy from his days with first bank,frigging dandy

Whether you like him or hate him, what he has said is the obvious truth!!! This is a man of character and integrity!!! He has long been saying total removal of fuel subsidy, cut down on the government overheads especially the house of assembly and then the civil service! He is right on point.

Da sanusi is nt qualitied to be the CBN governor,he just making stupid polices,hw can he say that 70per are been spent to civil servant and the remainin 30per is for wat?the subsidy removal dey did for provision of infrastures,development amd so on where Is it? It been swallowed by those big thief ontop. Let go and screen those pple who are paid millions of naria for a sit arguingrubbish matta and also seeking for allowance for transpotation maybe there will be the once swallowing our moni.

Maxymilliano: It is becoming clearer by the day that the present crop of NLC leaders only believes in making noise just to be noticed without taking a pause to consider if it is on the right path or not, this was the same dude who claimed the NLC will ground the whole economy if total subsidy removal is effected as if the country have any other choice.

Guy u r confuse in ur statement.So if FG sack 50% of civil servant like Sanusi said it wil alleviate d rate of poverty in dis country or worsen everythin, so d truth Sanusi said is (sack 50% of civil servant or 5000 note selfish policy).Dnt talk wnt u dnt know.

Omar is right. What will sack do to the economy? You cut down staff and allow a fewer heads to loot more! Sanusi's suggestion is like attempting to use Panadol to cure Cancer.

Most times, im amazed at d type of senseless responses i see on dis site. So in ur opinion, the best way to tackle corruption is by sacking civil servants?
When we sack them, what now happens? Corruption will suddenly stop abi? We are crying out that the level of unemployment is too high and you are advocating this nonsense. Clap for yourself.

...and who will replace him?

No obvious ready choice will just lead into chaos as usual.

What a shambolic country?

Why do they call for the sack of a man who revive Nigeria banking sector from collapsing, You this man so call NLC president should find something to do If you think you don't have anything reasonable to yell about, If you really think Nigeria has forgotten what you did during the so called fuel increased crisis.We understood that you have sold your integrity to the federal government,So stop talking

I will strongly advise you to henceforth, start paying serious attention to minute details of the country's budget for each fiscal year, do a comparative analysis of capital expenditures and the recurrent expenditures framework, you'll understand why the much touted dividends of democracy hardly trickles to the grass roots, and also get a clearer picture of what Sanusi meant.

Brilliant statement!!! Those old men and women doing nothing in our Govt offices should give way for young and vibrant graduates to come in.Basically,all they do in those offices is sit and gossip without having anything to show at the end of a day's job yet at the end of the month they are paid armed robber salaries to boot.

Let call a spade a spade................... if Elijah did not go Elisha would not come( Abeg make them go joor make youths wey their blood dey hot take over).

Sanusi is alwys high on weed and skuk b4 he comes to any retreat or conference.we smoke togeda.

I think the problem her is corruption in the system. Period. But to try to understand what Sanusi is sayin: the elements through which corruption and corrupt practices take place will include the large and dormant size of the civil service, contract awards, and enumerations that go with public offices.
Hence when you have a system that enriches you by function of your office and massive wealth for that matter, whilst doin next to nothing; then you have a system that encourages corruption. How do you explain a system that allows governors to steal through security votes and go scot free. What the hell is security vote...arent these excesses that the system allows. How much entitlements go to a local government chairman as a function of his office; wether he performs or not? These are the loop holes that gaurantee a corrupt system and lifestyle. Until all these excesses are adressed, ol‘ boy we are goin nowhere.

I have made it known to every nairalanders and i will re-echo it again that the appointment of Sanusi as the CBN Governor is the biggest economic blunder Nigeria has ever committed.
In the eye of the economic storm in the United state,Ben Barnanke The head of USA federal reserve bank equivalent of our CBN,always protect the economy with his positive pronouncement despite all the odds.Sanusi was never in a day say anything Positive.

What surprised me most is the way and manner he sacked the Nine killed nine banks without recourse to the unemployment implication.He has forgotten that employment generation is one of the key index for measuring economic performance.

I am totally disappointed in his regime as CBN Governor and i pray God will not give us this kind chief economic manager

The truth is that, that sanusi is the most selfish man in Nigeria, he doesn't even want to poor to live.

I couldn't agree more. One thing I have learnt about we nigerians is that we clamour for change but we don't like going through the process of change.
