It is only in Nigeria we have frivolous permutation of appointments like great grand special adviser, senior assistant , junior assistance , junior special adviser, paternal and maternal assistant , special adviser on Ram and what other names have you - feeding fat under government's parastatal and payroll.
Unfortunately , almost all 36 the states iñ Nigeria are guilty of this untenable appointment which accounted for 3,600 appointees across the federation, working directly or indirectly under Governors. At first instance, i found the revelation hard to believe but The recent 230 special Adviser appointed by governor Dankwambo eliminated my doubt.
The survey recently conducted by NAN unearthed the level of joblessness and redundance among some advisers and assistant on payroll of Government. Interestingly, some are even without office, But are rest assured to be remunerated at the end of the month, since they happened to be cronies who rallied round and campaigned for them.
For the benefit of ordinary Nigerians and for the economic recession's sake, it is pertinent for government to convert the benefit for the chosen ones to benefit for all.
At this critical moment, automatically every Tom, Dick and Harry in Nigeria is an adviser. Every Nigerian is a chosen one!!
