The Nigerian Labour congress in Edo state have threatened to go on strike, if the State government refuse to pay their salaries.The state NLC gave the ultimatum when thousands of aggrieved local government employees marched to the union’s state secretariat along James Watts Street, off Mission Road in the Benin City, the state capital.


The aggrieved employees have been on a month-long protest over the non-payment of their salaries by 14 out of the 18 councils in the state.

The union had in several protests lamented that many of the workers were owned between one to eight months.

It is interesting to note that Governor Adams Oshiomole became a household name in Nigeria while he was the NLC chairman. He used to fight for them. Now he is owing them!

Apc, is this the change?

asumo12:

this made me laugh really loud

Just in case

All these Onigbese reffering to themselves as 'progressives'

But this NLC got me laugh.... sha. Even the workers are slam for their own salaries. Let alone NLC. They better cooling down for their turn.

This man need to be tested...he owns salary nd still rant on media?can Aregbesola rant on media now?

He is owing salaries sef...Edo people shld kidnapp dat woman, their money will come out

Although not vindicating Aregbesola, it is amazing how PDP apologist, especially our brother from East forget to remove the filth in their own eyes, while concentrating on Osun, despite the fact that Osun was not the only states owing salaries up to six months. I can hardly count how many threads that have been opened against Aregberascal in spite of the fact that he is not the only governor in this shoe.

Up till now, about five to six states are in the same level of indebtedness with Osun state, yet 'saboteurs' like to keep this under the carpet. Osun is trailing behind Abia and Enugu in terms of indebtedness to workers, there is no doubt about that. This link or any further study can be an eye-opener - http://lindaikeji..com/2015/05/18-states-owe-civil-servants-salary-in.html

This is an indication that it is time for diversification of economy instead of monoculture economy: God bless Nigeria.

So the former NLC chairman is also owing....

[size=13pt]Oshiomole will still blame Okonjo Iweala for his inability to pay Edo State workers yet he can pay millions for Bride price for his Foreign wife Lara.
yet some Indomie brain people will come on Nairaland n Twitter to abuse Okonjo Iweala over propagandish statements made by Oshiomole n his fellow useless governors against Okonjo Iweala just to cover up their abysmal laundering of their various state treasuries [/size]

Oshomouth you are a disgrace to NLC. You who fought for the the rights of workers whilst you were a captain now mete out same maltreatment on them having attained the status of a colonel. If I call you wicked, then I would be a kind soul..

@Ephemm:
Big lie!!!! I don't know about Abia but in Enugu, state employed civil servants gets their pay on 25th dot, since 3 years now, last month has since been paid. Pensioners are been owed for last month currently.
There is also serious infrastructural development going on in Enugu State. Go to Enugu thread on NL and see for yourself.
If U drive streets of Enugu at night walahi U will think Ur in London.
Sometimes I think were the Gov. got the money for all that...

This man only know how to run his mouth but lacks the capacity to govern a state. hypocrite.

the irony of this for me is that he used to be on the other side of the fence

Should FG be held responsible for the salaries being owed by State government?

If some LG in Edo state have paid their workers salary, why are others owing?

I don't think Lara's husband should be held responsible by these councils workers.

they have to hold him responsible.
he is the governor.
he can now look into why they have not been paid.
if he has released the money to the relevant authorities.
