Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said
“At present, ASUU wants
the Federal Government to pay N92 billion in extra allowances, when the
resources are not there, and when we are working to integrate past increases in
pensions. We need to make choices in this country as we are getting to the
stage where recurrent expenditures take the bulk of our resources and people
get paid but can do no work. Since I assumed office, the share of recurrent
expenditure in our total budgets had increased astronomically. In fact,
recurrent expenditure accounted for about 77.2 per cent of the federal budget
and we are now working to re-balance this ratio.
The country is still suffering from the effect of the 2010 increase in salary. Do we want to get to a stage in this country that all the money we earn is used to pay salaries and allowances? If the demands of the university lecturers are met and we continue to pay them salaries and allowances, we will not be able to provide infrastructure in the universities.”
