Labour unions and activist groups yesterday called for the sack of Central Bank governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi over his call for the reduction of government workers by half to save costs.
This was after the CBN Governor said on Tuesday in Warri, Delta State, that the economy cannot grow if government continues to spend as much as it does on workers’ salaries. I
In a reaction, the Nigeria Labour Congress said Sanusi is “an agent of death” who must be fired. “We see in Sanusi an agent of death that must be defeated and crushed before he further destroys 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,” NLC president Abdulwahed Omar said in a statement in Abuja.
