Here is what I will do in this order:
1. Open my budget and address the people. Cut all my benefits
2. Hire a consultancy w/ key outcomes:
- Voluntary retirement deal
- Negotiate layoffs
- Build HCD programme
3. Executive Order on small business procurement.... https://twitter.com/DrJoeAbah/status/1252855509465485317

1. Explain government position and announce waste reduction initiative within my admin. Cut out all benefits of my team as a show of leadership.
2. I assume I have a solid HRMS already. Identify redundant & non-critical aging staff, offer a voluntary retirement deal. Negotiate..

Establish Human Capital Development initiative w/ grants, loans for voluntary retirees. Partner with donors (WB/AfDB, UNDP), leading universities & Foundations on this. Focus skill in economic priority areas. For now; manufacturing (CBN focus) and public works.

Procurement Order to guarantee only small biz get contracts within certain threshold. Split mid-sized contracts into smaller units to stimulate local economy. Mandate local purchase (quota) in big infrastructure projects. Case study: Kenya cement union vs China Road & Bridge Corp

Adding to this thread, another reasonable take on this from a govt person. I just don't know why govts don't negotiate or prioritize enough. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1253226703821963264?s=19
