Efforts under way to ease LGs financial hardship in Kwara
The chairman of Ilorin east local government, Barrister Abdullateef Okandeji has disclosed that collaborative efforts are on-going by the three tiers of government in the state to alleviate the current financial hardship of local government workers in the state.
Barrister Abdullateef who also doubles as ALGON boss in the state disclosed this yesterday while addressing staff of the local government who resumed work after two month old strike.
He said efforts of the federal government to boost the revenue accruable to the federation account by diversifying to the non-oil sector and joint revenue generation efforts of both the state government and local governments will go a long way to alleviate the financial hardship very soon.
He said he was optimistic that the measures would bring great relief to the councils and arrears of salaries would soon be settled.
Okandeji called for further understanding by the local government workers stressing that Ilorin east has the highest number of staff on its pay roll and that was responsible for her inability to be at par with other local government councils in the state in the payment of staff salary.
While responding on behalf of the staff, the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employee, branch chairman of Ilorin east, Mallam Abdul Rasheed Usman called on the council boss to do everything within his power to improve on staff welfare and payment of arrears of salaries.
He then assured the readiness of its member to cooperate with his administration and called for regular consultation with the staff for better understanding and appreciation of the challenges of the council.
