Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has suggested that the Nigerian government merge some states in the country in a bid to save the country.
Murray-Bruce made the suggestion as a possible solution to the inability of some states to pay their workers’ salaries.
The Senator, who represents the Bayelsa East Senatorial District, made the comment via Twitter on Thursday, June 11, 2015.
“Since its clear many states can’t pay salary without FG allocation, should we consider merging states especially as oil revenue is reducing?” he tweeted.
“I think we are underestimating the issue of unpaid workers salary. It's too widespread. If not checked, it can ignite a kind of Arab Spring,” he said.
“Its wrong to single out any one state on this owing workers salary. Half our states owe! Its a national emergency. Let's discuss Solutions!” Murray-Bruce said.
Please let's hear your thoughts on this... And please do not forget to also help share this post.
