This Is Unfair, 22 State Governors Owing Workers Salaries. by Johnnyessence(m): 4:29pm On Dec 25, 2014
Secretary General of the National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria (NUTGTWN),
Comrade Issa Aremu, has expressed concern over non payment of workers salaries by many state governors.

Speaking with newsmen in Kaduna at the NUTGTWN meeting, Aremu described the development as a wage theft, wage robbery and economic crime.

Aremu who is the Vice President of the Nigeria Labour Congress ( NLC) said for about three months now, 22 state governors are delaying or refusing to pay salaries but paid the delegates during the just concluded primary elections across the states.

“We see that delay in payment of salaries as wage theft, wage robbery. It is actually an economic crime because Nigeria labour law says thou shall pay the worker as at when due. In fact by 22nd of every month you must have pay the workers fully.

“We never heard of any delegate being owed a single penny during the primary elections, but they cannot get
money to pay the workers. In fact, some of the delegates even bought new cars and properties after the primaries because they money they got in just few days is much more than what workers earn in many months.

The governors should go to the place they got they money to pay delegates and settle the workers’
salaries ,” he said.

He also said the NUTGTWN has succeeded in negotiating a 15% increase in wages for its members, making
it a 35% increase in the last four years.

“This shows that the process of collecting bargaining is working in the private sector and we will like to recommend this process for the public sector because most of their crisis is on the increase of wages and salaries which has been causing endless strikes and unfavourable industrial actions,” he added.

This is why Nigerians should demand change, how can a party with corrupt leaders keep pissing on us just because they need looted funds for elections??


I heard they raise 21billion naira for campaign while lots of civil servants will go hungry this festive period, how long will we leave under their greed??

Am not for or against anybody, I just want change!!

And some sets of useless Governors donated over N1billion for GEJ


God will judge them

Akpabio, Jang, Imoke, Suswam, Others Donate N1billion
While Owing Workers... -

As representatives of 21 Peoples Democratic Party [PDP]
governors mounted the rostrum Saturday night at the
presidential villa in Abuja to announce N1.05 billion in
donation to the PDP, back in their respective states, school
teachers and other state workers were enduring their
second or third month of work without pay.

In some states, the indebtedness to workers stretched a
year.

In Ebonyi, authorities owed teachers under the Universal
Basic Education scheme nearly 12 months of salaries.

In Abia State, secondary school teachers were last paid in August, while primary school teachers have been owed since October.

In Akwa Ibom State, the nation’s leading oil producer which
draws more than triple of what other states receive from the federation account monthly, local government staff were on strike. Before the strike, they were forced to receive half salaries for several months, while authorities claimed they had no money.

In Cross River, the situation had worsened after months of indebtedness that state-run television, the Cross River
Broadcasting Corporation, CRBC, shut off production last
week. The station remains off air till date. Other staff fortunate to have received reasonably up-to-date pay, have yet to be paid for November.

But on Saturday night, Cross State governor, Liyel Imoke,
stood next to his Bauchi State colleague, Isa Yuguda, as Mr. Yuguda announced to a gleeful president and a shocked
nation how the 21 governors who had been struggling to pay salaries long before the present oil crisis, rallied N50
million each in donation to the PDP.

“We may do more in future, but that is what we were able to
raise for now,” Mr. Yuguda assured.

So, Akpabio too hasn't paid? Truly, PDP is a curse.

Akwa Ibom State has a population of about 5 Million people and receives about 30Billion Naira monthly from the FG, yet he cant pay workers their salaries for several months.

Faahola gets roughly the same thing as Akwa Ibom in revenues and paid its workers 13th month salary. Meanwhile, Alimosho LG in Lagos state has a population of 9Million inhabitants (more than the entire Akwa Ibom state).

Akwa Ibomites, help is on the way.
