State workers receive stipend not wages, Zamfara NLC tackles FG
The chairperson of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Zamfara State Council, Comrade Sani Haliru has said State workers receive stipends as remuneration and not wages going by the dictate of the prevailing economic circumstances.

According to him, “There was need to note in a strong term that states are the organs which support and as well are pillars which hold the center.

“We in States are at the mercy of state Governors who hold power with impunity and disregard constitutional provisions.

“Workers in States are affected beyond words as remuneration \wages are stipend not wages going by the dictate of the prevailing economic circumstances”.

“While reading the mood of the current situation, strike is not the best option, it should be noted is the only weapon to save the workers and the nation.

“We must understand the best time to act is now when all Nigerians are on the side of labour which is the only “lone voice left to uproot all evils and change the existing injustices of the nation.

“The states should be the central figures which they should concentrate on, not hammering on the centre. Time to do the needful is right now,” he stressed.

If Tinubu can make this crook governors that treat state workers like slaves accountable he would have done noble but he can’t dare it because he will be more concerned with winning reelection

A president can't make a state governor accountable. He does not have such a power.

Zamfara NLC should be tackling the state governor, not tinubu.

This is what we've been saying, for this country to move forward, alot of people especially the youths needs proper political education in order for them to know their right from their state and local governments administrators. People are hell bent in pointing fingers at FG, while the governors and local governments keep capitalising on their ignorance to continue looting the fund meant to improve their lives.

Alot of them are on Nairaland, one was even saying Tinubu can make them accountable.

State and local government workers need to be carried along in the ongoing negotiations. Some states can actually afford #35k allowance for their workers without stress.Those that can't afford 35k can do 20k.
