Local government workers in Kogi State have called on the state government to ensure 100 percent regularization of their salaries.
The council workers however eulogizing the state government for paying their salaries up to August, urged them to look into unpaid arrears from previous administrations,
The State chairmen of Local Government Employee, NULGE, National Union of Teachers, NUT and the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria, M&HWUN, Tade Adeyemi, Thomas Ayodele and Onuh Edoka respectively made this known in a joint statement made available to newsmen in Lokoja yesterday.
The statement read apart, “Efforts being made by government to overcome the challenges of inherited liabilities, especially in the areas of salary arrears owed workers is quite commendable; the workforce in the local government appreciate the efforts made by the Ministry of Local government and Chieftaincy Affairs in ensuring that salaries of local government are paid up to August 2018.
“The decision of government to raise the bar of the level of salary being paid in which no worker in the local government takes less than 54% is noted with appreciation. However, government should take cognizance of the percentages of salary yet to be paid by the previous and present administrations and make effort to clear them as soon as possible.
“That government is enjoined to continue this gesture and not relent until the payment of 100% is regularized in the local government. And government should include on the payroll the names of all staff and teachers that have been cleared, but are yet to be captured on the payroll while the cases of the uncleared undergoing review should be resolved without further delay.”

propaganda and fear of losing election...no one is been paid any salary in kogi...I know this state too well

Nigerian workers will grateful to the good people of Osun.

They have set the stage for the liberation of workers from the claws of the demi-god governors.

Panic mode activated already. I hope the workers will be wise enough to discern Greek gifts from these emperors.

and the NULGE chairman seem to have even been bought over from the way he wrote just like the way FG has pocketed this current NLC chairman... most times the problem of civil servants are usually their bribe seeking union leaders

Crazy governor, Nigerians must rise & flush out these wicked souls

Some people can be idiots. Imagine eulogising the governor for paying salary you are entitled to in the first place.

Another fraud from APC in Kogi state, salary paid, when? do they pay this salary because of fear of PDP come 2019, i want to tell APC led government if you like pay above the money you are owing workers and pensioneers APC must loose Kogi come 2019.
