The Plateau State government has said they have no intention of sacking workers, but would rather intensify efforts to generate more revenue internally to shore up subventions from the federation account.

Director of Press Affairs to Governor Simon Lalong, Mr. Emmanuel Nanle, told our correspondent in Jos on Wednesday that the government would continue to operate within its limited resources, while ruling out the option of sack.

He said the state government had requested for N10m only as bailout, but had only received half of the money, adding that when the balance was received, it would further assist the government to re-strategise.

He said, “My state governor has said it times without number that he is not contemplating the option of sack as a means of solving the current economic downturn. It is believed that such an action would create more problems. What we are going to do is to rejig our internal revenue sources to augment what ever comes from the federal government.
