I like this photo tho..He is fed up of this corruption..So the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufa has called on members of the State House of Assembly to cut down their salaries and allowances in order to generate more revenue for the development of the state.
Speaking at his visit to the House of Assembly, yesterday, El-Rufai said: “The Deputy Governor and I have signaled our intention in this regard by announcing that we are taking a pay cut of 50 per cent of our salary and allowances until the fiscal situation of the state improves.

The change they voted for is for substantive improvements in the delivery of public goods, a new way of doing things and the prioritization of their needs. As you are aware, the executive branch of this government has been taking briefings from the ministries, departments and agencies that constitute the public service of Kaduna State,” he persuaded.
