“As Organized Labour, we are pleading with His Excellency, the people’s Governor to look into the problem of outstanding check of dues, welfare and multiple deductions which were not remitted by the Office of the Accountant General of the State.
“Note that, the Organized Labour has made frantic efforts for it to be paid but to no avail.
We therefore, urged the Governor to intervene by paying the said back log which has amounted to over one billion naira”, he stated.
He however, commended Gov. Kefas for his commitment to the cause of education, security, workers welfare, infrastructure, job creation, food security among other key aspects.
