The problem
Abubakar inherited an empty treasury, an unsustainable wage bill inflated by widespread ghost workers, and the effects of the 2015-2016 national economic recession from the outgoing Isa Yuguda administration.
What was done
The administration undertook wage-bill and revenue reforms, though salary and pension arrears persisted through parts of the tenure.
