Respect to Mr President Saying Yesterday " Worried about reckless spending by top gov officials Abroad" It is good that the president is worried about reckless spending by top government officials abroad, and has taken steps to educate them on it. But beyond the poor public image that this reckless spending paints of Nigeria and her leadership class abroad, there are many more important reasons w...hy Jonathan should be worried. He should be very worried about the factors that fuel this profligacy, especially in the face of the growing impoverishment of ordinary Nigerians. One critical factor that we are all too familiar with is corruption of many members of the leadership class. I mean, top government officials and political appointees who convert public funds to private use. Many of these people find it difficult to separate personal money from public funds, hence their reckless extravagance at public expense. Even when some of these top government officials may not be stealing public funds, the widening gap between the remuneration of this class of public officials and other categories of workers should be a source of worry to the president.
