Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has alleged that directors-general (DGs) of federal parastatals earn more than ministers, permanent secretaries, and directors combined. The claim was made during a public statement in Abuja, where Mustapha criticized the disparity in salaries between top officials and parastatal heads. According to the former SGF, the remuneration of DGs is significantly higher, raising questions about financial transparency and resource allocation. The statement comes amid ongoing discussions about public sector pay structures and accountability. Mustapha did not specify the exact figures but emphasized the need for a review of salary scales across government departments. The issue has sparked debate among officials and civil society groups, with some calling for an independent audit of parastatal finances. The government has not yet responded to the allegations, but the controversy highlights growing concerns about fiscal management in Nigeria.
