Kwara Council Workers Shelve Strike
The Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) in Kwara State has withdrawn its 14-day ultimatum to the government over unpaid salaries of its members.
Its Secretary, Comrade Abayomi Afolabi, after a meeting with officials of governmentin Ilorin attended by officials of the Association Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), said the workers were ready to partner with the government.
The union, he said, had reached an understanding with the government, which has agreed to pay all outstanding salaries.
Blaming the issuance, of ultimatum on communication gap between labour and the government, Afolabi, however, said it would be wrong for anybody to insinuate that the union was being used by opposition.
He said local government workers should not be denied their entitlements because majority of those who elected the government are from the grassroots.
The NULGE Secretary said the union was not opposed to the biometric verification of workers' and the joint project account, adding: "We only frown at the non-payment of salaries."
The Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Ademola Banu, said the meeting with labour yielded result.
Banu, appealed to the workers to show more understanding, saying the delay in salary payment was caused by late release of federal allocation in the past few months.
NULGE had given the government a 14-day strike notice if it failed to pay outstanding workers salaries.
