‘Why Nigerian civil servants are corrupt’Falana, Okoye

Give politicians the job of public servants to do; then you will realise that civil servants deserve more pay than political office holders. Rufai Mohammed Aminu

Please take a look at the current pension scheme and the plight of pensioners; how do you expect civil servants to be honest? Ismail Mustapha

After 35 years of service, no gratuity and monthly pensions as at when due. Many civil servants do not have houses and cannot pay their children’s school fees. I think many factors are responsible for corruption in the service. Zubayr Usman Kurmi

Corruption is a thing of the mind and not necessarily because of poor remuneration. If it were as a result of poor remuneration, what about those who are well paid and yet engage in looting of public funds? For example, governors and the likes are well paid yet steal public fund, is it because of poor remuneration that they do that? I know of professors who despite their huge salary collect bribes and there are Graduate Assistants who in spite of their meagre pay will never collect bribe. Andrew Adah Okpe The civil servants are corrupt because they are not well paid. Nasiru Yakubu

Civil servants steal because the money is there. They also steal because they know they can get away with it. But thank God for President Buhari and the TSA, things will change now. Ibrahim Ismaila
