The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called on the federal
government to sack the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),
Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, saying he was never qualified for the
office in the first instance, and has shown more than enough
incompetence and contempt for the Nigerian people.
Through its President, Abdulwahed Omar, the NLC was responding to a statement by Mr. Sanusi in which he recommended that the government sack 50% of its workforce in order to revive the economy.
“It has become obvious that there are some individuals parading the
corridors of power who are not qualified to be anywhere around
organizations saddled with the responsibility of developing policies for
national development,” NLC said. “Since assumption of office as the
Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, all Sanusi’s major
pronouncements have been either directly anti people or ruinous to the
Nigerian economy.”
It asserted that the burden of wealth creation in Nigeria, like any
other country, has been on workers, while some politicians and economic
parasites like Sanusi over consume what the workers sweat to create, and
that workers are the key driving force of all economies and only a
hollow economist like Sanusi will underplay this.
“The major problems of the Nigerian economy are corruption and lack
of good governance, and until we solve these problems our economy will
continue in comatose,” the statement continued, pointing out the irony
that while President Jonathan is promising to create more jobs, Sanusi
is calling for mass sack of civil servants in a country with one of the
highest number of unemployed.
Full text of the statement:
Sack Sanusi Now
We were not shocked hearing the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria,
Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi once again displaying his contempt for the
working people in Nigeria with his recommendation that the Federal
Government should sack 50% of its workforce for the economy to be
revived.
It has become obvious that there are some individuals parading the
corridors of power who are not qualified to be anywhere around
organizations saddled with the responsibility of developing policies for
national development. Since assumption of office as the Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria, all Sanusi’s major pronouncements have been
either directly anti people or ruinous to the Nigerian economy.
The burden of wealth creation in Nigeria, like any other country,
has been on workers, while some politicians and economic parasites like
Sanusi over consume what the workers sweat to create. Workers are the
key driving force of all economies and only a hollow economist like
Sanusi will underplay this.
The major problems of the Nigerian economy are corruption and lack
of good governance, and until we solve these problems our economy will
continue in comatose.
Today, there are countless probe reports with names of those who
swindled our country of several trillions of both naira and other
foreign currencies still living in Nigeria either walking freely around
the corridors of power or directly holding public or political offices
rather than being in jail.
We see in Sanusi an agent of death that must be defeated and crushed before he further destroys the Nigerian economy.
While President Jonathan is promising to create more jobs, Lamido
Sanusi is calling for mass sack of civil servants in a country with one
of the highest number of unemployed, which has indeed led to gross
deprivation and the current state of insecurity in Nigeria.
While we believe the Federal Government will ignore the ranting of
this hollow economist, Sanusi has never demonstrated patriotism in all
his advice on economic and financial management in Nigeria.
Sanusi’s only understanding of governance is simply about saving
money and not saving lives as his proposals are repeatedly devoid of
human content and without consideration for the implications on larger
society. The burden that will come with mass sack as high as 50% of
civil servants in addition to the already saturated unemployment market
can better be imagined. Governance is about improving the quality of
lives of the people and not destruction of productive lives.
To show how unknowledgeable and unfit he is as a public office
holder, Sanusi also called for the scrapping of local governments in
Nigeria, a country that runs a federal system no matter how inefficient
the system is. Local government is an important tier of government in a
federal system and what we need is to strengthen the system to enable it
deliver good governance to the people as it is the closest to the
grass-roots and rather than removing the tier as proposed by Mallam
Sanusi, the local governments require more funding to enable them
function properly as required under a federal system.
The truth, which Sanusi as a beneficiary is running away from, is
that corruption has become a real burden on the economy and it should be
the only priority item on the table of any serious government. Even if
you sack all the workers in Nigeria, any amount saved from that will be
stolen and the culprits will walk in freedom.
And we need to ask Sanusi how much work he has successfully done in
the CBN to reposition it to contemporary realities? He is surrounded
with countless aides that are obviously not required by a man who
believes that the Nigerian economy runs too high on overhead cost.
It is obvious Sanusi was never qualified for the office of CBN
governor in the first instance, and he must be asked to leave the office
as he has shown more than enough incompetence and contempt for the
Nigerian people.
Abdulwahed Omar
