In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Senator Ali Ndume representing Borno South in the Upper Chambers has asked the Federal Government is slash salaries of civil servants who are no longer going to work. He added that the state government is still spending a lot to sustain government personnel who are not currently productive. He suggested that the civil servants who are not currently working should be given palliatives but paid less.

Senator Ali Ndume advised the government to increase capital expenditure allocation as he classified this time as a critical season. In his opinion, sustaining the same staff cost and overhead cost when many of the civil servants are not working does not have any justification.
He emphasised the distribution of palliatives and reduction in salary while stating the need for people to sacrifice as the country is going through hard times as it stands.
