The state civil servants and pensioners were subjected to all kinds of hardships as a result of non-payment of their 3 months salaries and pension which created untold hardships, hunger and uncertainty among them and their families.
In what can be termed as responsible leadership, in less than a month of taking the affairs of the state, the present administration of Dauda Lawal has salvaged the workers by paying the backlog salaries.
However, the NLC/TUC Leadership of the organized labour in the state urged the state government to also extend the same action to the remaining workers of some ministries that are yet to receive their March Salary.
We also wish to call on the state government to ensure timely payment of workers Salary as well as pensions and other welfare packages for effective service delivery.
