Kaduna State Governor, Una Sani, says he receives half of his salary as the helmsman.
Sani made this disclosure in his address while explaining the sacrifices his administration was making to secure the future of Kaduna State.
He said, “When we came in, we sat down with them and said look, charity begins at home. We have to cut the cost of governance in Kaduna state. We are running a state where at least 60% of the population are living below the poverty line. I said to the Deputy Governor can we reduce this allowances because it is too much, they all agreed collectively even myself, they need to cut my salary into two, so today I’m receiving half of my salary since I became governor of Kaduna state.
“Commissioners, Advisers, Senior Special Assistance since we came in we removed their performance allowances, when you put this money together that is why people are surprise we are doing some works, because you have to cut the cost of governance. And today no commissioner not even Deputy Governor is using a new car in Kaduna state, I told them the cars we inherited from the previous commissioners let’s use it. Today, I’m using my personal cars as a governor and that’s what we have been doing it is not magic, it is cutting cost of governance.”
