Sometime ago, federal government of Nigeria gave out huge amount of money as bailout fund to various states in the country (Nigeria). This is good and there is nothing wrong if the federal government of Nigeria can assist a state that is financially down. We have seen various states in the country (Nigeria) that are unable to pay workers salaries and this is not the first time such assistance has been given to the states governments by the federal government of Nigeria.
Our (Viewers Corner News) worry is that most state governors may not be using the money the way it should be used, therefore we are appealing to the state governors to do their home work properly by devising other better means of generating money to pay workers in their states. When someone who has a family or those that are single are not paid their monthly salaries, what do you expect them to do most probably take to crime to make ends meet?
Honestly this is a very terrible situation in the country (Nigeria) and that is why the crime rate is on the increase. Again when salaries of workers are not paid, how do they feed their families? An urgent solution is needed to solve this pressing issue. Creating jobs for the unemployed should be the responsibility of both the state and federal government by injecting money into the economy which would boost various sectors of the economy. If this aspect is properly controlled, it would help in reducing the rate of crime in the country but when there is no money to buy food, somehow an individual who is not disciplined would look for other dubious means possible to make a living, all the same this option is not justified.
Please governors in various states of Nigeria, you all should kindly use your bailout fund nicely by paying the workers in your states as at when due, that is what the money is meant for and not to acquire properties.
