The Cross River State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) will begin an indefinite strike tomorrow, its Chairman, John Ushie, said yesterday.

The union leader said the workers resorted to the action due to their unresolved issues with the government.

According to a bulletin signed by the Organised Labour Action Committee, the issues include the suspension of promotion to deserving civil servants up to 2016, the disengagement of payroll consultants, illegal deduction of workers’ salaries, full payment of gratuity to retirees from Paris Club refunds, release of monthly impress to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), resolution of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) impasse in the state and payment of newly appointed permanent secretaries’ salaries.

The bulletin, titled: Commencement of Indefinite Strike Action, reads: “This is to inform you that at an enlarged Congress of Cross River State, civil/public servants workers unanimously voted to proceed on an indefinite strike over the following issues, with effect from Tuesday, May 30.

“We are, therefore, calling on all workers, under the employ of the Cross River State government, to stay at home from May 30 until you hear from us.”

O di Kwa egwu

I thought ben ayade usually pay cross river state workers ahead of fg
But the workers should understand that it is not going to be milk and honey always







But i smell propaganda and politheifcians instigation as usual

I already started the strike long time ago. No salaries for months now. Chai Baba God your boy don suffer.

Our politicians should just die and leave Naija for credible, accountable young vibrant ones.

I dey my house

The state is truly regressing. May God help us

Is that a way of wishing your governor happy democracy day

One Nigeria

Mama. Is this man Not a biafran?

It's okay

It's high time the whole country went on strike.

They need to visit Imo State to see how workers suffer. Their condition is child's play compared to other states.

I concur

This is a case of spoilt child, how many states even pay salaries to regular workers? you are paid and deductions were made and you didn't thank God. make una kwontinu

What really went wrong with our commonwealth that governors can't pay salaries

Only Cross River state? the whole states in Nigeria should also embark on strike cause we do not know where the leaders are leading us to. How to apply for federal fire service recruitment 2017 http://trendyupdates.com.ng/apply-federal-fire-service-recruitment-2017-portal-fedfire-gov-ng/

Ayade again, this guy is set to ruin Cross River State

IhateAfonjas:

Omenkalives, Beremx and Ngeneukwenu won't come to this type of thread, they're patiently waiting for an Ipob thread to attack

I want Buhari to rule Nigeria for 80 more years, i love seeing zombies suffer

where did u see rivers state

"Ẹni Tó Lórí Kò Ní Fìlà, Ẹni Tó Ní Fìlà Kò Lórí”:

“The One Who Has A Head Has No Cap, The One Who Has A Cap Has No Head”

Their workers should ask Osun and Oyo States workers how market?

this labour leaders are just looking for excuse to embark on strike. i was thinking is due to them being owed salaries. but as it stands dat is not the case. if i were the governor, u embark on strike for such frivolous reason, u forfeit ur salary for that month. they don't know wat workers in other states are passing thru.

Hunger don reset cross river worker

He only pays state workers nothing for local government workers, of recent he started paying the state workers too in batches

After multiple bailout from Buhari and your share as oil producing state. Please don't blame Buhari for this, all those clamouring for Biafra stuff can you see your potential Biafra leader.

There is absolutely no cause for a strike action here. Their claims are baseless. Gov. Ayade makes it a habit of paying salaries on the 25th of every month; he even pays before time!

Senseless civil servants want to allow themselves to be used by people who want to kill themselves on how the Paris Fund cash is disbursed.
