This does not include standing orders for overheads, funding security operations, running costs of schools and hospitals, and other overhead costs that the state has to bear for the machinery of government to run, for which the state government taps into IGR earnings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justifying the job cuts, El-Rufai said: \u201cThe public service of the state with less than 100,000 employees (and their families) cannot be consuming more than 90% of government resources with little left to positively impact the lives of the more than nine million that are not political appointees or civil servants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is gross injustice for such a micro-minority to consume the majority of the resources of the State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe public service is an important institution, and it should therefore maintain only an optimum size.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufa\u2019i has attributed workers lay off to overstretched public finances further dwindled by higher wage bills at a time when revenues from the Federation Account Allocations Committee (FAAC) have not increased.
