A senior civil servant in Kogi State committed suicide, between 2015 and now,  there is an unimaginable increase in suicidal rate.

Salaries of civil servants remain unpaid,  some states are owing upward of 9 months salary. Pensioners and retirees could not see any light at the end of the tunnel. Lack of finances, hardship had thrown people into state of depression.

Bail out fund release by the Federal government  to state government to offset backlogs of salaries was diverted by most of the governors. These are issues that needs urgent attention, we must do all in our capacity to stem suicidal tendencies.
