Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo State and chairman of the Southern Nigeria Governors’ Forum, has criticized the federal government’s practice of setting public official salaries and benefits in order to promote uniformity across the country.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of a one-day Southwest Zonal Public Hearing on the Review of Remuneration Package for the Political, Public, and Judicial Office Holders in the Nation, held by the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission in Akure, the state capital, Akeredolu said this (RMFAC).<\/p>\n

According to him \u201d this practice is unacceptable in a polity which prides itself as federal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe logic of mopping up revenues accruable to states and local governments into a general pool for the purpose of sharing, in accordance with some Federal Government formulas, is anachronistic and retrogressive.<\/p>\n

Akeredolu insisted that power must devolve to the federating units for the country to lay claims to being a federal State.<\/p>\n

The Governor, who was a Special Guest of Honour at the event, was represented by his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.<\/p>\n

While noting that It is not sufficient for RMFAC to regulate the salaries of public officials, Akeredolu, charged the Commission to make conscious efforts to reduce the overbearing influence of the Federal Government and its institutions on the constituent units to encourage development.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet every State determine the salaries and allowances of its officials. Let the states control their resources and pay tax to the centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Akeredolu, who lamented that the autonomy of the States has been eroded greatly, lamented that the Houses of Assembly, have been relegated to the fringe in the affairs of their respective States.<\/p>\n

The governor, who identified Revenue generation as the bedrock of fiscal policies, urged the Federal Government to allow Local economies to flower.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe appropriation of the sources of wealth of various States by agencies of the Federal Government is the fundamental reason for retardation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur recent pre-independence history, and immediately after it, depicts the immense potentialities present in the various regions and the manner through which the political leaders availed themselves of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe level of development attained in all these semi-autonomous political entities points at the possibilities of attaining greatness if the current structure is tinkered with to reflect true federalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is on record that public officials in the defunct South Western Region were the highest paid in the country. The visionary leaders ensured that the best were recruited to serve the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach Region determined, to a very great extent, issues bordering on effective governance. Development was, therefore, achievable within a short period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenges encountered by the nascent Republic led to crises in different parts of the country, especially the South West and the Middle Belt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incursion of the military into the political affairs of the country engendered a devastating effect on the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe promulgation of Decree No. 34 of 1966, which abolished the Regions and replaced them with the so called Provinces, laid the foundation for the erosion of values and determination to excel through healthy rivalries which existed among them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe creation of 12 States out of these artificial entities, erroneously called Provinces by the military, to defeat the secessionists, ensured the perpetuation of the policies which militated against the ability of the erstwhile upwardly mobile socio-political entities to be creative. The oil boom of the early 70s encouraged redundancy, progressively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe discovery of oil, the reason for the remarkable progress of other countries, has thus become a huge curse on the land. Only those who benefit from this current dysfunction will want it to continue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe country continues to pretend that all is well when it is dithering on the brink of collapse. All patriots must be resolute in challenging the present structural defects which stifle growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system which allows a very strong central government and weak dependencies is not capable of development.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be much more profitable for the Federal Government to dissipate less energy in its pursuit of the misnomer touted as local government autonomy.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

Akeredolu, further called for the need to tinker with the current structure to allow real creation of wealth rather than concentrate all attention on how to share it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost Nigerians participating in this public hearing will conclude, hastily, that its purpose is self-serving and highly insensitive to the plight of the ordinary people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mere knowledge that humongous budgetary allocations are appropriated as recurrent expenditure in a country, struggling with issues of development, is perennially unsettling.<\/p>\n

\u201cA negligible fraction engaged to serve the populace gobbles a disproportionate part of the commonwealth. Ordinary Nigerians are, justifiably, vehement on the need to tinker with the current structure to allow real creation of wealth rather than concentrate all attention on how to share it.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, (RMAFC),<\/a> Muhammed Bello Shehu, defended its ongoing efforts at reviewing renumeration package for political, public and judicial office holders.<\/p>\n

Shehu, said that the step was aimed at closing the gap in salary disparity existing among them across the country.<\/p>\n

According to the Chairman, those that will benefited from the review of the remuneration include; the President, Vice President, Governors Deputy Governors, Ministers, Commissioners, Special Advisers, Legislators and the holders of the offices mentioned in sections 84 and 124 of this Constitution.<\/p>\n

Bello Shehu, who maintained that since the last review in 2008, however, noted that various changes had occurred in the socioeconomic indicators and other variables in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese changes have prompted the need for another review to reflect the current realities. The commission is examining the existing remuneration package for political, public and judicial office holders in the country in the face of the public outcry and changing realities in the economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, assured Nigerians that the review exercise is going to be fair, just and equitable in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
