You have more money from FAAC now, pay Workers Salaries, pay Pensioners – Tinubu tells Govs
President Bola Tinubu has urged all state governors to spend the money and not the people
The president said this in an emergency meeting with governors earlier today, Thursday, February 15, at the Council Chambers of the state House, Abuja.
One of the matters addressed during the meeting was the payment of salary arrears to civil servants and gratuities to retired workers.
While addressing this issue, he pleaded with governors to ensure all salary arrears to workers, and gratuities to retired workers and pensioners are cleared as a way to put money into the hands of the people since states are now getting more monthly FAAC revenue.
The president said: “spend the money, don’t spend the people”
