By: Yusuf W.

    In the labour market many able man and woman are working helter scattered in search of  white Collar and Blue Collar job.Few Nigerian who are gainfully employed are strata into various level many are local government workers,state workers and federal government workers.

               As matter fact, many graduates of our institutions prayed to work with federal government than any level of government the main reasons behind this is federal workers are  well remunerated with good  conditions of services than any level of government.This affect the  economic growth and development  of the country. The effects of the dichotomy of government workers in the country are:

1.      Many workers in the state and local level look for all means to work with the federal government  because federal government paid than the state thereby affect the stability  of the workers.

2.  It affects higher productivity :Those people  who have developed strong passion for a particular field change their areas of their interest as a result of poor salary and other conditions of services.For instance teachers who is considered as a devoted and committed teachers but he or she had to change profession and  line of interest because of  irregular payment and poor salary scale. Consequently,it affects people productivity in the field of teaching and thereby affects production of responsive and responsible citizens.

3.     Personality Clash between and among workers at various level:Expert considered civil servant as government  irrespective of the level,yet those earn different salary and enjoys different conditions of services.

        In conclusion government of Nigeria should restructure her Public Finance and her Fiscal Policy in order to  end unnecessary and unhealthy rivalry between workers at all levels.If state workers earn the same salary with their counterparts at federal level the problems of social mobility and instability of workers would be reduce.
