Still on the 50% salary slash, Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State has described the 50% pay cut by some state governors as highly insignificant.

He added that the pay cut is not enough to stimulate the desired development in their respective states.

The governor stated this on Sunday while fielding questions from journalists after paying a courtesy call on the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, in Abeokuta, capital of Ogun State.

Gov. Umahi said, “To me, this 50 per cent pay cut by some of the governors is not the way out of our present situation in the country. For instance, I earn N600,000 per month and if that is halved, I will take home N300,000 in a month. That is not the kind of money that will turn around the fortune of my people in Ebonyi State.

“I strongly feel we should go beyond that level; we should endeavour to re-invent our respective states to make them viable and more productive.”
