The Bayelsa State chapter of the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has commended Governor Douye Diri for ensuring that the local
government workers in the state now enjoy the national minimum wage and his practice of local government autonomy.
According to a statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, the NULGE leader said that since inception of the Diri administration, backlog of promotion exercise and annual increment for local government workers have received speedy approval. “Since the prosperity government came on board, local government workers salaries have been paid promptly without borrowing from other sources.
Ekiegha also thanked the administration for improving the security situation in the state, particularly on the waterways, where local government staff in riverine areas previously had some challenges. The governor stated that rather, his government has been painstakingly supporting the local government system to grow.
“Also, we want to appreciate you for acknowledging the little effort the government is making in terms of the development of our state. That is the spirit of this government. All we want is that we are united as a people and we all should contribute toward the infrastructure and human capital development of our state.
