Organized Labour in Nasarawa state has alleged that the State governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura has sacked over 10,000 workers since coming into office as governor.

The union which said only irresponsible Government would sacked over 10,000 workers, flay public announcement run by the state owned broadcast outfit, Nasarawa Broadcasting Corporation calling on the staff to resume work.

“The Public announcement urging Nasarawa State Workers not to embark on strike is uncharitable propaganda and blackmail orchestrated by the state Government,” the Labour leader, Comrade Abdullahi Adeka said.

He said: “The present regime sacked over 7000 Local Government staff over 100 staff of "Nasarawa on the move,” a state transport company were fired and the company grounded. Where is the Lafia Hotel and its staff today?

Comrade Abdullahi said over 70 of the staff were left redundant in Nigeria Newsday. “In addition, 27 Permanent Secretaries were fired from the inception of Al-Makura’s regime,” the union said.

Abdullahi said a state like Nasarawa which cannot pay workers salaries has embarked on flamboyant projects that have no relevance to the citizens.

“On 500 housing units, Al-Makura did not construct a single bedroom for workers instead he was only privileged to re-allocate a project that was initiated and executed by the former Governor, Aliyu Akwe Doma . Since January 2015 Local Government workers are being paid on percentage till date. However, it should be noted that salary in percentage is unlawful and any responsible Government should not even contemplate it,” the Labour leader said.

“To say that workers in Nasarawa State constitute just 1% of the 1.8m people and consumed 95% of the statutory allocation thereby leaving 5% for other capital projects is fallacious and a misrepresentation of facts.”

“Workers and their dependents constitute more than 70% of the entire population of Nasarawa state. This can be testified by the fact that economic activities in the state have been paralyzed due to the non-payment of January,2016 salary.''

“It is duty bound on Government to pay salaries constantly to her workers. So long as the monthly statutory allocations from the federation accounts have not being generated, it should also be noted that salary is being earned by workers and not a gift,” Comrade Abdullahi said a statement.

The state government had earlier said January salary was ready and urged the workers to call off the strike. The state government could not react to allegations raised by the workers on the sack.

Been rich doesn't make you a leader, leave leadership to those that know the business.

Great change.










Modathplus.

Enjoy your CHANGE path...

My question is, what's the workforce of Nassarawa that the governor has to sack 10000 people? Is either this is a media propaganda or the governor is committing great atrocity.

What are the reasons for the mass sack? Could that be ghost workers? Where is NLC.? Could this be the change mantra?

Good

Absurd

Should i be suprised?? What do u expect from Apc

Why always APC states??



I wasn't much of a brilliant chap during my high school days. This was because I didn't have time for myself as I was always faced with one chore or the other and the little time I had to read, I used in playing. I could have changed for the worse in Uni but I had to keep to my vow that upon gaining admission, I'll study like no other. But I chose to change for the better in Uni because in school, I had all the time for myself and made GPs I never expected. I passed in flying colors and topped my dept on several occassions!

What am I saying in essence. Academic excellence is achieved with enough determination and work. Same way success is achieved with enough research, education and work. You can't just vote for a man because of tribal sentiments and expect good from him. Never! The history was there for consumption and the so-called educated graduates left it to vote along tribal lines. Now the economy is in shambles. It's good to learn in the hard away sometimes. Hopefully, some people will ask the right questions when next they hear the word "change".

Old man Buhari and his band of lying liers.

That's not a bad idea if they weren't doing anything to start with.

Nah sack, sack, sack we just dey hear for Buhari regime o

Economic downturn showing itself. This is the beginning.
