Nasarawa state government has paid its civil servants their full salaries for the month of December.
The full payment of December salaries was a departure from the previous practice where month salary was paid in percentage.
Some of the civil servants who spoke in interviews said that they have received half payments of July, September, October and November salaries while that of August is pending.
Mr. Irimiya Tanko Arima and Peter Mari appealed to the state government to offset the outstanding arrears as well as sustain the payments of full salaries in the coming year.
A top government official who refuse to be named said that the recent reports of the tripartite committee involving the state government, organized labour and the federal ministry of labour and productivity as well as the receipt of N4 Billion as refund from the Federal Government, gave rise to the payment of full salaries of the December salaries.
