The Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, has declared that the era of paying civil servants special bonuses are over.

Speaking on Wednesday in Abuja, the Minister said the fiscal discipline she has continuously preached since assumption of office must be reflected in her ministry.

According to Adeosun, “When I said at the start of my tenure that I would restore fiscal responsibility to our economy, it was no idle promise. The money we spend is not our money, it belongs to the Nigerian people,” Adeosun said.

“We need to justify every naira and at a time when all Nigerians are suffering the consequences of the financial crisis inherited from previous administrations, we simply cannot afford to pay out special bonuses to civil servants. Those days are gone.”

She further stressed that the allowance sought for by staff members of the ministry was unstatutory as there is no provision for it in the budget, stating that lawful allowances and salaries are paid on time and in full.

Recall that some aggrieved staff of the ministry had on Monday staged a protest wherein they called for the sack of the Minister.
