Fagge
said that
productivity in Nigeria was low because “people who do not
contribute to nation building earned the highest pay”.
He said
that a lot of well-meaning Nigerians had failed to
contribute immensely
to building the nation due to the anomalies related to
remuneration.
He advised the authorities to ensure that the
recommendations arising from the forum were properly implemented.
“Productivity
is not commensurate
to remuneration in the country. There are a lot of
people in Nigeria who do not contribute much to nation
building but they
earn the highest pay.
“The major issue behind Nigeria’s
under-development is that we have not been doing what is
right in the
remuneration system. In other nations remuneration is
directly
proportionate to productivity.
