About 300 graduates on the payroll of the Kano State Internal Revenue Service have dumped their appointments as revenue collectors due to the paltry thirty five thousand Naira (N35,000) they receive as salaries.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that this is coming barely three months after their employment. The KIRS had recruited a total of 765 graduates as revenue collectors.
The graduates maintained that the KIRS promised them better salaries and convenient working environment, thus making them to resign their former appointments which according to them was better compared to what they are now offered at KIRS.
Speaking with news men on condition of anonymity, one of the aggrieved graduates said the KIRS failed to fulfill some of the promises made to them.
Referring to the service salary scale, he disclosed that majority of them were influenced to abandon their earlier engagement and embrace the tax generation job but only to be remunerated, with N35, 000 monthly.
The source further revealed that following the autonomy attained by the KIRS, the Service offered them a better salary package than what they were earning in their former firms of engagement but sadly ended up being paid N35,000 as graduates.
However, in his reaction, the KIRS Public Relations Officer, PRO, explained that the Executive Chairman of the KIRS, Sani Abubakar Dambo is out of the state for Lesser Hajj, insisting that he (the chairman) will address the issue when he returns.
