Kwara Govt, LG Workers May Clash Over Unpaid Salaries
Indication emerged yesterday that the Kwara State government and local government workers in the state may clash over the former's non-payment of the workers' June salaries.
To this end, the workers are contemplating embarking on an industrial action to drive home their demand for the payment of their salaries.
It will be recalled that workers in 15 of the sixteen local council areas have been having undue delay in the payment of their salaries and allowances according to National Mirror findings which got awry last month.
The state government through the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs had before the matter got to its peak, been offering explanations that were inconsistent thereby drawing the anger of the council workers.
The government had first said the delay was due to an alleged late release of federal allocation to the state and local governments across the country in one breadth and that the workers were not paid on time because of the reports of verification of the state workforce in another breadth.
In an interview with National Mirror, the commissioner in charge, Alhaji Issa Bawa, had insisted that NULGE members were not paid for the latter reasons alone, promising that the ministry was looking at complaints arising from the reports as it affected a cross section of the workers before payments could be effected.
However on Monday, the workers had locked all gates to the local government area offices in Pake, Ilorin East Local Government which prompted the state government's quick intervention.
The protesters gave the government an ultimatum expiring this Friday by which all allowances should have been paid failure of which the workers said they would take to the streets.
The workers had alleged that their leaders had been bribed and threatened to beat them up before the government's intervention yesterday.
