Sack Him Now!!! - Nigerian Labour Congress

                            

The Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Mr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi may have opened his mouth a tad bit wider than he ought, as the Nigerian Labour Congress have called for his sack in light of the recent statemnent by the CBN helmsman that government should sack 50% of its workforce.

The NLC responded to the very controversial statement by the CBN governor - through its President, Abdulwaheed Omar - in which he recommended that the government should sack 50% of its workforce in other to revive the economy.

Part of the statement reads, "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. . . Workers are the key driving force of all economies and only a hollow economist like Sanusi will underplay this."

The statement pointed out the irony that while the president was promising to create more jobs, Sanusi was calling for mass sack of civil servants in a country which had one of the highest number of unemployed.

Sanusi is a marked man. Marked by the NLC, marked by the people and possibly now, marked by his employers. His anti-people policies have not gone down well with Nigerians. He was the proponent of Islamic Banking and the 'Cashless' society which the people are still grappling with, and hardly had they come to terms with it than he came up with the 5, 000 naira note, which was promptly rejected. Before then, Sanusi was part of the governmental group which threw their weight behind the fuel subsidy brouhaha. . . the after effects of which the people are still feeling.

The fuel Subsidy Reinvestment & Empowerment Fund (SURE) is still unaccounted for.

Sanusi is a marked man I tell you. He now has the mark of a pariah, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if the government decides to get rid of him.

. . . for good.
