The Kogi State Government has described as sabotage the call on the workers in the state by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to embark on an industrial action with effect from Monday.
in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Hon. Mohammed Awwal Imam, the state government said that it perceived the move unfair as the state government had embarked on payment of arrears of salaries two weeks ago.
The statement said that 48 MDAs out of the total 55 MDAs have been paid, while seven MDAs are yet to be paid because the correct grade levels of the workers are being verified.
“Salary variations were received from many MDAs for the month of February to April 2016. 14 Local Government Areas with correct information has been paid, while work is in advance stage for the payment of both Local Government Areas and State Pensioners.” [myad]
