President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday in Abuja expressed concern on the growing complaints and agitations by workers in states over unpaid salaries and allowances, in spite of interventions by the Federal Government.
Receiving a group of governors led by the
Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Abdul’Aziz Yari, at the State House,
President Buhari said the plight of workers in the states need urgent attention
as many could barely survive.
“How can anyone go to bed and sleep soundly
when workers have not been paid their salaries for months.
“I actually wonder how the workers feed their
families, pay their rents and even pay school fees for their children,’’ he
said.
President Buhari said the Federal Government and state
executives would need to work closer together to ameliorate the situation of
workers across the country.
