Kwara Council Workers Protest Non-Payment of Salaries

Date: 2012-10-10

Scores of Ilorin South Local Government Area workers of Kwara State yesterday marched on the streets of Ilorin, the state capital.

They were protesting the non-payment of their three months' salary arrears.

The protestors marched from the council secretariat at Pake, passing through Pata Market via the popular Muritala Mohammed Road and berthed at the Kwara State Government House.

They passed a vote of no confidence on the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) executive for its alleged inactivity.

Some of the placards they carried read: We no go gree; No salary no screening; No retreat, no surrender and A hungry man is an angry man.

The spokesperson of the protesters, Habib Bolaji said: "We condemn the council's NULGE for being passive. In fact, we have passed a vote of no confidence on the executive members. That is why we protesting. Our three months' salaries have not been paid; that is August, September and this month. We are not even talking about the leave bonus and other entitlements in arrears.

"To add insult on injury, they slated a screening for today. Without payment, none of us will participate in the screening. We expect them to pay us our salary arrears so that the screening will be for October salary . . ."

But in a statement Governor AbdulFatah Ahmed's Chief Press Secretary, Abdulwahab Oba, attributed the delay in the payment of workers' salaries to efforts to block loopholes in the wage bills of some councils.
