The organised labour has asked state governors who are finding it difficult to pay workers’ salaries to resign!
Comrade Boboi Kaigama, President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Say's any governor who cannot pay workers’ salaries to resign from office immediately, as the Congress was ready to make their states ungovernable over the non payment of salaries.
The opening of 10th Delegates Conference of TUC , In Abuja on Thursday at Kaigama expressed concerns that some governors recently sought $3.2 billion from the World Bank after recently collecting bailouts from the Federal Government.
It was reported that the Governor Ayodele Fayosen and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has apologized to government workers over the non-payment of their five months salaries
The resolutions reached at the State Executive Committee meeting presided over by the Chairman, Williams Sunday Ajayi in the state capital Ado Ekiti, on Wednesday.
This came after the outcry by Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Bello, that he cannot pay workers’ salaries due to the present economic hardship in Nigeria.
No fewer than 15 states including Ondo, Oyo, Kogi, Benue, Delta, Bayelsa Ekiti, Osun, , Plateau, Imo, Taraba owe public servants arrears of salaries.
