It is true that some MDA's of the federal government are well paid but the truth is the majority are poorly paid.

It is true that the government is the largest employer of labour in this part of the world, it is also true that the government is the largest custodian of poverty stricken workers.

While in some agencies, fresh graduates are earning as much as 250k and above, others are earning about 60k.

They have same qualifications, same employer but different agencies. It is based on connection mainly and sometimes merit.

The above is wrong.

Since they are all working for same employer, the salary scale should be similar though the allowances may differ a bit.

If you are able to enter some agencies, it is like travelling abroad! You are okay financially but if you are in most of the agencies and ministries, it is poverty and struggle to survive.

The salary of directors in most agencies is the salary of level 9 officers in agencies that are well paid.

While some workers are buying cars and building houses, many in their 35years cannot buy land ; how much more build house. And they have same qualifications and are citizens of same country.

The government need to do something about this.

Instead of the selective adjustment it is doing such as that of the teachers and now the police, the government need to adjust the salary of all it’s workers.
They are wallowing in poverty.

I know retired civil servant who after 30 to 35 years are still paying rent ad without vehicle.
Many have to start looking for jobs all over again such as security, messengers or drive okada and cabs when they are supposed to be resting after working so hard.
I don't think it is too much if government give out 1,2 and 3 bedroom flats to retiring officers who have committed 20 years and above of their life to serving their fatherland.
It will reduce corruption and encourage hardwork and honesty.

I would rather the government have ten staffs and pay them well rather than hundred of thousands of staffs all wallowing in poverty except few who can steal or are well paid.

The last minimum wage was a joke as the average worker ended u with between 5 to 15k increment!
The rate of inflation since then in everything from rent, to food, to transport, to utility bills makes the increment a big joke.

Many private organisation have universities as well and I have never heard that the lecturers are going on strike since the scale all across is reasonable.

The prolonged ASUU strike can be traced to issue of trust in the part of the lecturers.

Sadly, as soon as the government concede to ASUU demand, some other bodies or agencies will start their own.

The government should do the right thing which is to employ the number f staff it can cater for and pay them well.

Correct
