10% PAY CUT FOR ALL ELECTED AND APPOINTED PUBLIC OFFICIALS FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS. BY SEGUN BADMUS 23/09/2013 " The Nigerian University system is in a state of emergency. Three months running,our engine for growth has been under locks and keys. The success of the future of our next generation is being mortgage on a platter of indiscretion. Our school system needs an overhaul from primary to tertiary levels,it needs funding,it needs investments,it needs infrastructures,it needs well remunerated staffs with up to date technology to back up growths and developments. The government instead of investing in education is busy creating overnight billionaires,deploying our resources in the purchase of arms and maintaining a big for nothing military,creating a class of people with no investment and tax trajectories. We should be aware that many nations are competing in advancements in science and technological innovations,we instead have locked our schools and we are busy procuring arms for the protection of sectional interests,we are busy playing politics with virtually every issue of nationhood,we are busy grooming monsters that would eventually cause us mayhem. Well, as a matter of urgent national priority,I advise that all elected public officials and appointed staffs at all levels of government should cut salary by 10% across board for the next 3 months. These funds should be credited to the Education Trust Fund beginning on October 1st 2013,the savings from these months should be a sacrifice for the future of our generation.We can collectively solve the problem, if we are all ready to make a sacrifice. A new start is possible."
